Product Review: Karma Card Game

When I first saw this product I thought it would make a good game to play on rainy days at the lake, but it has a couple issues.

I like the cards themselves and the game should have been really fun. 

In order to play the game you need 2-6 players. 

The object of the game is to get rid of all of your cards. You do this by playing cards that are equal to or higher than the value of the card on the discard pile. If you choose not to play or cannot play a card, you have to pick up the entire discard pile. Karma Cards are essentially wild cards that come with a few perks.

Unfortunately, when we were playing there were a couple issues. 

First, there were a couple scenarios that were not explained in the rules. Second, the rules were worded in a way that they were confusing. Thirdly, John and I quickly discovered what appears to be a little loophole: you do not have to play a card and can pick up the stack which benefits you if someone put down a Karma card previously.

I tried looking for a video to learn how to play it correctly and found their Youtube video: Karma Card Game on Youtube

Fortunately, this answered a few questions that were unclear based on the instructions, however I feel as if the instructions still need to be fixed.

I received the product for free in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are my own.
