We’ve all had to suffer that really long train journey or rainy day stuck inside, but what better way to pass the time playing a card game together? Of course, we’re talking more than a simple game of snap, at Toy Street we have the UK’s best collection of card games all at very competitive prices! Our games range from quick-to-learn, quick-to-play party favourites to immersive tactical battles!

Now let’s take a look at Toy Street’s Top 10 Card Games!

Uno (2013 Refresh)

A family classic! Get rid of your cards by matching the colour or number, when you only have one card left be sure to shout…. UNO!! Despite it’s age (it was first created in 1971!) it just doesn’t get old! Be careful though, playing the draw four cards on to your opponent has been known to create the odd family dispute! Of course, if you’re tired of Uno you could try “WHOT!” a similar matching card game but with various themes including Frozen and Star Wars!

Ages: 7+.

Players: 2+

Playing time: 10 minutes.

Bang! The Card Game

“The Outlaws hunt the Sheriff. The Sheriff hunts the Outlaws. The Renegade plots secretly, ready to take one side or the other. Bullets fly. Who among the gunmen is a Deputy, ready to sacrifice himself for the Sheriff? And who is a merciless Outlaw, willing to kill him? If you want to find out, just draw (your cards)!”

It’s a classic Wild West shoot-em-up in card game form! Each player is assigned a role with a special ability and their own secret objective! As the player you have to try and achieve your objective before the others achieve theirs, but be quick otherwise you may find that you come to a grizzly end!

Ages: 8+.

Players: 4-7.

Playing time: 20 – 40 minutes.

Fluxx 5.0

For those who like their games to be a little more chaotic! It starts simple: Draw one card, Play one card… easy right? But then suddenly it can all change when a new card is played and your new objective is Bread and Chocolate!

Ages: 8+.

Players: 2-5.

Playing time: 5-30 minutes.

6 Nimmt!

In 6 Nimmt!, you want to score as few points as possible. Each player is dealt with 10 cards and simultaneously players place their chosen cards on an ascending ordered row of cards. When the sixth card is placed, the owner of that card then picks up the other five. This is a quick, fun, fast-paced game for both young and old. Perfect for family parties and all kinds of fun occasions

Ages: 8+.

Players: 2-10.

Playing time: 45 minutes.

Fungi is a beautifully illustrated strategy card game. Who will be the tactically better gourmet in this game for two? In the game, you try to collect the most delicious mushrooms and roast them, earning you flavour points. To win, you must have collected the most flavour points!

Ages: 10+.

Players: 2.

Playing time: 30 minutes.

Hanabi

Hanabi is named after the Japanese word for ‘fireworks’. This is a cooperative game, where the players aim to create the perfect fireworks show.

Or you may run out of cards before our display is ready.

Next in our top 10 is the maniacal matching card game! Coming from the creators of Fluxx, it is obvious it will be an awesome card game! This pick is a rapid fire game where players race to be the first to empty their hands by one of two images to the card in front of them.

Ages: 8+.

Players: 2-5.

Playing time: 5-10 minutes.

Cards Adjust Humidity V2

Vampire Squid Cards dug deep into their therapist’s notes and angsty, forgotten Live Journal blogs to bring you another 112 inappropriately-worded cards that-were you to play them in public-would probably get you put on a list of some kind.

Age: 18+.

Players: 2.

Playing time: 30-90 minutes.
