Question 1

Is the game much fun with just 2 players..or like Uno where you end up just passing the cards backwards and forwards to each other?

Accepted Answer

I took it on holiday with a friend of mine, really so that I could get to know the game myself before taking it away with the family - but we really enjoyed it and ended up playing it every evening of our 7 day holiday. I think it will probably depend on how 'mean' you want to be when you play it. In a group you can single someone out and block them or penalise them, but playing with just two of you that becomes less important probably so it's maybe a less competitive game that way. It suited me that way, that's all I can say and we had a good laugh playing it for hours.  When I did finally get the family to play it, they liked it but it didn't really take off as well with them and we only played it for one night. I don't know if my experience is typical!

Question 2

From what age can children enjoy the game?

Accepted Answer

The game says it is for age 12+, but as many of the reviews say here, younger children can play the game as long as adults are playing to help them learn the game initially. I disagree with the answer above as you definitely do not need to know where places are to play this game. It is not a test of knowledge at all, but an immensely enjoyable, addictive fun tactical card game liked by both kids and adults.

Question 3

How long does it take to play?

Accepted Answer

Depends a bit on the number of players. If 2 players it can take about an hour. If 5 players about and 1 hour 15 mins. If you are learning the game it can take a bit longer as you get the hang of it, but once you have played a couple of times you will love it and be flying along.

Question 4

Is there maybe a tutorial video I can watch?

Accepted Answer

Hi Jackie - unfortunately  I cannot find anything on youtube but the boardgamegeek site does have 3 reviews of the game - one of these helps give a flavour of the game. https://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/485778/leave-space-your-suitcase-fun-little-card-game
