Grandpa Beck's GamesNuts About Mutts - Family-Friendly Hand-Elimination Card Game - for Kids, Teens, and Adults - from The Creators of Cover Your Assets - 3-8 Players, Ages 7+

This game is a mix of the games UNO and Spoons all wrapped up in a dog lover addition!We enjoy Grandpa Beck games- especially Cover your Assets, Gnoming Around, and my personal favorite Skull King, but I admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of this one. But then my 6 year old, who doesn’t play games with us, actually played the game! That sold me!It’s a very easy game to learn and a fun way to teach them about matching colors, number, and images. The speed really depends on those that are playing but can get pretty fast when a certain card is set down.The game comes in a nice compact box and the cards are sturdy. The illustrations are beautiful and bright.

We have had this game for awhile now and recently started playing it. It has some similarities to UNO however, it is much more fun. There are different wild cards that have different results like all players must draw a card, you can trade hands with another player, player must play from the draw pile instead of their hand for one hand (all the wild cards explain how to use them at the bottom). These are all great but what is also great is you never have a player with tons of cards in their hands. My nine year old, my husband, and I all love this game. It is played fairly quickly and everyone has a fair chance at winning. My nine year old does get a bit carried away trying to slap the bone card when a mutt card is played. I have been known to have a red hand so be prepared for some competition, no one wants to draw a card if they're not the one to slap the bone card.

This card game is very simple and fun. It is easily adaptable for the playing ability of different ages of children.We played it with an 8, 5 and 3 year-old. The 2 older kids learned really quickly and the 3 year old really only needed a little help. The 3 year old won , numerous times, without any help which he was really excited about! You should see the look on the kids faces when they were dealt a 'bone' card. Each round only takes 5 - 8 minutes so it is about the right length for short attention spans.Not only is it fun but it also helps the younger kids learn about numbers, colors and comparing the different types of dogs.We also like the Bears and the Bees card game from the same maker.

Fun to play with grandkids ages 5 & 7. Appreciate that game rules can be adjusted to make easier or a little more challenging

We have played this without all the special cards in order to make it a game all the family could play. The 5 year old liked it, but I think the older kids, 9 and 11 would appreciate the more interesting version with the special cards and actions, without them it's a bit like UNO. I can see the theme of it appealing a bit more to a dog-loving family.

Will be playing the game with her for sure! Looks like fun!

The game is a combination of UNO and spoons. I love playing Skull King and Cover Your Assets, so I thought I couldn’t go wrong with another Grandpa Beck game. Unfortunately the game isn’t that fun when it’s just adults or even older children. I would recommend it for the 5-10 year old age range.

This game is so much fun to play with the little ones! It is easily adaptable based on age. When I was playing this with a 5 year old and 3 year old, I took out the flea, bone, fire hydrant, and mutt cards. We played with the cards in front of us, and it made it much easier and still fun for both of them. When it was the 3 year olds turn, he needed some guidance on figuring out if he had a match, but they both love it. Going to get more of Grandpa Beck's games soon!Both kids are wondering if Grandpa Beck has all of the dogs in the game at his house. :)
