Double or Nothing by Reiner Knizia

Too much luck? Or just right for fun family play? Picture this. It's time to decide what game to play, so you're looking at your well-used copies of Die Macher, Wildlife, Caylus, and Princes of Florence. Out of the corner of your eye you spy your still-in-shrink copy of Double or Nothing. Hmm. It is by renown designer Reiner Knizia, how bad could it be?

Judging solely by ratings on BGG, pretty bad. But consider the demographic of BGG rater before dismissing this one. Sure, there's a fair amount of luck, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun, it's easy to teach, nice light fare. Besides, once it sells out, we might bring another game out!
