The 10 Phases of fun, April 17 2007
By Vanity VonSyn - Published on Amazon.com
Myself and about five other people were sitting around in the living room area of a cabin after breakfast one morning in February trying to decide on something to do. We didn't want to go out because it was far too cold and nothing was open yet anyway. So someone asked if anyone in the room wanted to play a game of Phase 10. Everyone readily agreed to play the game. The rules were explained, the cards were dealt and four or five hours later we finally had a winner. The game is a lot of fun and the time goes by quickly. By the time we realized how long we had been sitting there playing it, nobody could really believe it.
The girl who brought the game to the cabin said that it's more fun if you have a lot of people playing but it also takes longer to play it. It goes by quicker with less people.
This was the first time that I had ever even heard of this game. After the rules were explained I was still a big confused as to how to play, but after the game had gotten started I caught on pretty quickly.
This is a good rainy day game when you can't go outside. Or for one of those days when you're stuck at home with a few friends, your siblings and/or your parents and don't know what else to do. It'll definitely kill a few hours or so of boredom.
I love games. I have a closet full of board games that I can't get hardly anyone to play with me. Maybe I'll have better luck with getting someone to play Phase 10 with me since there's no board to have to drag out and set up.

I am a 21 year old female and, growing up with a large family, we always played games at family gatherings-Phase 10 being one of them. This is a game that may take a little bit to understand, but once you do, it is fun for everyone. Kids of all ages can play and it is also fun for teenagers and adults as well. Basically the game in a nutshell is that there are "10 Phases" that you must complete in order to win. Everyone starts on the first phase (these can be anything like getting two sets of three, four of the same suit, etc) and the first person to get the phase wins that round. That person advances to working on the next phase, while the rest of the group has to try and complete the one they did not master. First one to complete all 10 phases wins.
I love this game and I would suggest anyone buying it that wants to have a great time!

My friends and I often enjoy staying in and having game night. Phase 10 is one of the best games we have played as a group. It is one of those purely fun games of chance, no skills such as acting or drawing is required. All my freinds enjoy it: the quiet one, the loud one and all the other personalities in between. It is great to sit at the table and laugh, joke and enjoy each others company while we play. It is even easy enough to play that our children can join in too.
