What a game! Plenty of options. Along the lines of Canasta, but much more interesting. The concept of having a cache deck, which you play when you’ve got rid of all your original deck cards, is genius. I was wanting to play this game straight away after finishing our first game. But would suggest that one round is the best option to play, rather than three, as it can take some time to play out. Highly recommended. 5 out of 5!.

A fun family game!
We love playing this with our grandkids! It`s challenging, but not overly so. Great for game night.

Newest addiction!
This is a very fun addictive game! Very easy to learn and there are even videos to go watch if you don’t want to just read instructions.There are both basic and advanced rules, so if the basic way starts to get boring by chance you can always change it up.We end up playing for hours at times. Very fun to play with a group or just one other person.Our only issue was the score sheets that come with the game. It’s not broken down to easily record and expects you to add stuff then record it. We prefer seeing what everyone got for each individual collection or cards played, so we created our own scoring sheet. This is more of a personal preference though.Overall, this a very fun game for game night. Easy enough for younger players to understand and have fun, but also thought provoking enough to entertain the older crowd.

Fun, pretty, recommend!
Lovely quality, easy to follow instructions, it’s sort of a souped-up version of Rummy. Another hit from Grandpa Beck! (…this is a little thing – but I love that the cards came pre-shuffled).

FUN! Like canasta with some twists
After much family debating on the pros and cons of narrowed-down-to-three game choices, we chose Antiquity Quest. We LOVE it! It’s like canasta with interesting twists. The basic game is mostly luck-of-the-draw which young kids can enjoy: collect five cards of a color or mix them up with wildcards to form a collection. Play a Nigel card and you get two more cards from the deck, or play a Tess who can eliminate the discard pile before the next player has a chance to snatch it up. The advanced version entails some strategy and more opportunities for some skullduggery. This is, after all, a quest. The cards are easy to read and colorful with beautifully drawn pictures of antiquities from six ancient civilizations. The instructions are clear, BUT if you have any questions Grandpa Beck will promptly answer your email. For example: It’s ok to peek back through the discard pile (we don’t); Tess can’t destroy an opponent’s completed mixed antiquity collection (I apologized), and once a Nigel has been played he can’t be used again in the game. The only downside to the game is the time it takes to shuffle all the bloomin’ cards. The scoring can get a bit complicated so put the person best with math in charge.

Fun game for all ages!!! Outstanding Quality!!!
I watched this game played on YouTube by the cast of JK! Studios in a series called Play or Pain. The cast looked liked they were having so much fun so I decided to purchase the game and find out for myself. The first thing I noticed about Antiquity Quest was the quality of the materials. The box is sturdy and well made with amazing artwork on the front. The cards are top quality that you can feel when playing. The game is simple to learn with multiple dynamics. Each player receives a “cheat sheet” that explains what the objectives are and the value of the cards. This is a collection game where you attempted to clear your hand and create valuable collections. Be careful that you do not only focus on building collections. Opponents can sabotage your collections and prevent you from completing valuable cones. You can do the same to their sets as well. Depending on if you are playing the standard or advanced version, gameplay can last between 30-90 minutes. It’s easy for younger kids to learn. The whole family will have fun with this game.
