(More customer reviews)This is a great introductory game to bluffing. The idea of the game is simple: players put down cards (face down) according to a certain order--potatoes cards, tomatoes cards etc. (all ingredients for making a good soup). There are stone cards in the deck. The goal of the game is to get rid of all of one's cards. Bluffing comes in when one must get rid of stone cards or other unwanted cards. For example, if it is my turn and the turn calls for tomato cards, but I don't have tomato cards, I may put a potato card down and declare it a tomato card. Others may let me pass or they may call my bluff (Stone Soup!).
The game is for 8 and up and for once I agree with Gamewright. I played it with my 5 and 7 year olds. My 7 year old understands the concept, but her face often gives her away. My 5 year old sighed at the end that he "always lost". He was putting down 10 tomato cards when there are a total of 4 in the deck. With time, they may learn to play better, but I can see us having a great time when they are older. We will probably have more fun when we have more people playing.
