It’s really easy to pass the first few phases, not so much in later phases when you have to get runs (cards of the same color in a series of numbers, for example 2-5 of blue) and sets or a really long run.
So for example, if you have 3 yellow and 3 blue cards, you have the first Phase done. A set is any three cards of the same color. The beginning of the game, the Phase is really simple – get 2 Sets of 3. Phase 10 plays in a number of rounds in which, on each round players try to meet the current requirements of the Phase they are on in order to proceed. Now, if that didn’t scare you off, the real review can begin! (Lol) You could imagine it alongside of Whist or Bridge. This game should probably be evaluated according to a different set of parameters than most games on the list. Fundex sold more than 32 million units of it alone! The game is now sold by Mattell who purchased the game from Fundex in 2010 and you can find it in practically every store that has games. To say I was surprised to see Phase 10 on the list goes almost without saying! Phase 10 was one of the bestselling card games in history, right behind Uno. When I first joined this site, I spent time looking through all of the wonderful games on the list, some in fond remembrance, others in a hope to purchase, others with firm knowledge of what the game has to offer.
