ANOTHER WINNER!!!
This game is GREAT! It is a combination of skill, symbols, and FUN! Just when you think you have a winning hand, the fates can turn. The real challenge is deciding how valuable your cards actually are -- even a sure-thing can slip from your grasp if you don't play your cards right. The best part about Xactika is lots of your friends can play along with you (up to 10 people)!

An original card game which can put you in control
This is a phenomenal card game. In a elegant, subtle way Xactika has give you more control of the hand you're dealt than has ever been possible in a bidding card game. One way to think about the cards is that each one has four suites on it, and you can play any one of them. The bidding card tells you the chances of other cards having the suit you chose, so you can decide whether playing it will win or lose the trick for you. You'll want this extra edge since you have to make your bid EXACTLY to get the points you bid. Take advantage of it - it's not what you're dealt, but how you play your cards that will decide who wins.

Great card game
Fascinating and fun game. The dynamics and strategies change a lot based on the number of people playing (up to 8 players). Takes playing a time or two to get the feel of the game, but well worth the effort. Good instructions, and a set of "helper" cards included so players can keep track of the probabilities (though they don't call them that). My only complaint is that the cards are a heavy paste board that doesn't wear very well if you play a lot (and we have been). Highly recommended game for those who like Wist, Hearts and the like.
