Customer Reviews

Great game
I love collecting card games to play with friends on a nice, quiet evening. I own such classics as "Phase 10," "Uno," and "Skip Bo." Since I have had these games for a long time, I wanted to add a new title to my collection. I certainly couldn't have opted for a better choice than with "Rage".

"Rage" is a superb card game from a great company: Fundex, who have made such classics as "Phase 10" and "Hit the Deck." So how can you go wrong? The answer is, you can't.

The cards have a nice look: "Rage" (with the lightning and all) is printed on the back. The cards themselves have four suits and, of course, there are wild cards.

"Rage" is like a combination of Uno and Phase 10 (two greats!). To play, there are 10 rounds. In the first round, each player gets ten cards. The player to the dealer's left (as is customary in the card-playing world) starts the first "trick" (this means that each player puts down one card). The goal of the game is to win as many tricks as possible (by putting down the highest number, of course!), while correctly predicting exactly how many tricks you will walk away with. At the end of each round, the points will be tallied up.

"Rage" features a lot of fun card play, coupled with an element of guessing. The game-play is easy, swift, and smooth, and always full of suspense; and sometimes, turn-around victories. A great game for anyone who likes to have fun (I think that means everyone. Get the idea?).

Surprised & Glad to See It Back in Production - some changes
Our much used family Rage deck was showing a lot of wear. Some cards were in two pieces and taped together. My wife was pleased to see four of this new edition in a department store for only $3.77 each, so she grabbed them all (not to "hoard," mind you ... giving them to our grown kids). For those new to the game, however, note that the printed rules in this new edition have some significant changes. E.g. in the original, "Wild Rage" can be made any number ("0" if you want to lose the trick,"16" if you want to win it), but in the new, the rules say that the Wild Rage is the highest of its color. "Change Rage" in the original brings a random change to the trump, but in the new, the player gets to choose the trump. In the original, a special card cannot win a trick, in the new, it can if it is the first played and all others are also special cards. In scoring, the new version does not give a -5 for missing your bid, and only +5 for those who successfully bid zero. Although we have not tried the new rules, my impression is that they are not improvements, and I would recommend newcomers joining us "purists" and playing it the original way. Either way, have fun, it's a great game!

Best card game ever
I have been playing Rage for about 25 years. My original game is very worn, so I am thrilled it has been re-released (and not in the German version). The original advertising called it "an adult game of revenge". Sort of like playing a wild card poker game - at any moment, the trump card can change plus lots more curveballs can be thrown at you. Each round gets one less card, so the tension is constantly building! Great fun, although it is helpful to have someone with decent math skills keep score if you are the least bit competitive.
