Scout - A Family Review
Come one, come all to the big top, little box, circus-themed game of Scout! You are the ring leaders and talent scouts of a traveling circus, and you’ve got to put on the best show… or steal other players’ performers so you can.
This charming card game is a great addition to your family and party game library. It’s also a great game to get the grandparents playing, especially if they love card games like Rummie or Euchre.
Scout has pretty cards, with a fantastically well-thought-out design. Each reversible card is easy to read and displays everything you need in the top corner, so you always know what you're holding. Plus, each card has the name and special skill of a circus performer! Our kids loved putting down a run of cards and announcing which performers were in their show. (So did Meric.)
The rules around which shows beat which seemed confusing at first, but they were really intuitive in actual game play. Don’t let them intimidate you! The biggest hurdle for the kids? It wasn’t the rules. It was keeping their hands in order and holding all eleven cards at once.
11yo: “It’s a challenge when you have something to play but can’t beat the previous card. It takes a lot of thought!”
Scout has some elements of luck and a lot of strategic options. We found the kids quickly developed their own strategies, which was fun to watch and kept us all engaged. And the options are diverse—not everyone is going to have the same strategy!
So, if you’re looking for a game to enjoy while having snacks and chatting, Scout is light enough to follow and challenging enough to be competitive.
Helpful Hints
- Invest in card holders for players who struggle holding lots of cards at once.
- If you have a bad round, it’s pretty tough to catch up. Help your younger players with their strategies so they don’t get left behind.
- Invent stories for your performers and what acts they are doing as you play!
Description
Masterpiece board game by Kei Kajino, "Scout!".
Will you play your cards or pull them out? With the restriction of not being able to reorder your hand, play cards and scout the field to connect and strengthen the numbers in your hand. In this version, "Scout", there is a new theme along with new artwork, playable with 2-5 players, scoring chips, and various other changes.
You've suddenly been appointed as the leader of a circus. Using the members of your circus you must put together a show that will beat out your rivals'. Align cards with the same, or consecutive, numbers in your hand to create a more spectacular combination than your rivals' and put on a show. However, rearranging your hand isn't allowed!
Everyone on your circus troupe has a specific role. To fill in the gaps in your own circus, try to scout members away from other circus groups! On your turn, you can put on a "Show" with your strongest circus member combo, or "Scout" cards from the field and add them to your hand. Each member has two abilities (numbers), and it is up to you to decide which role you want to add to your circus troupe.
With the addition of just one extra person you may set off an incredible chain reaction that helps you create a show that no other circus will be able to surpass. Battle with your current members? Or, will you wait and try to recruit others? When you get into the groove, this speedy card game will have you feeling like you're on fire!
