This exciting card game proceeds, as the title suggests, in 10 phases. Each phase is different and requires its own strategy. Phase 10 combines the two classics Romm? and Canasta. The aim of this game is to play 10 different combinations of cards by collecting and laying out cards. Those 10 combinations must be played in a specific order. In the first phase you have to play 2 triplets (= three cards with the same number, color does not matter), during the second phase you have to put together 1 triplets and a series of 4 cards. This continues until phase 10 where you should have 1 quintuplets and 1 triplets. When it is his turn, he must first take a card from the face-down or discard pile, then complete a phase and place a card on the discard pile to end his turn. If you already have a phase on the table during that round, you may additionally add extra cards to anyone's completed phases. This way you can eventually play out your stock of hand cards. If someone succeeds, the other players receive penalty points for each remaining card in their hand. All cards are reshuffled and a new round starts. Note who has already reached which stage and how many penalty points the players receive per completed round. Whoever reaches the tenth stage first wins the game. Penalties apply in case several players reached phase 10 during the same round. Phase 10 will keep you playing with the same amount of fun. Sometimes it seems that you are hopelessly lagging behind, but two laps later everyone is back in the same phase. Luck and tactics balance each other perfectly. Highly recommended! Number of players: 2 - 6 Age: from 10 years Contents: - 108 playing cards, incl. 8 jokers - 6 overview cards - game rule book
