What's in the box

Created by award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia
Based on the award-nominated Don't L.L.A.M.A! card game
Play, draw or quit the round on each turn
Compact, portable deck that travels easily
2 to 6 players, about 20 minutes

How it plays

Your turn is one of three choices: play a card, draw a card, or quit the round. Cards left in your hand at the end count against you, and skunks cost the most, so dump them early. Staying in gives you more chances to empty your hand, but it can also backfire. Fewest points at the end of the game wins.

It shares its gameplay with Don't L.L.A.M.A!, the Spiel des Jahres nominee, now with a skunk theme and fresh art. Seven-year-olds pick it up fast, older players stay for the strategy, and the compact deck goes to restaurants and campsites alike.

What players say

Fun family card game
My kids love this game and it's so easy to learn to play. Even my youngest (7) who usually doesn't want to play loves when this one comes out. The game speed is perfect when you don't have a ton of time and it's our go-to for doctors' office waiting rooms. The illustrations are so cute and it is holding up really well despite how many times we shove it in a backpack or purse. We find ourselves laughing every time someone gets skunked in the end.

Awesome game and Educational
I bought this game to play with my k-7 grade kids at the Y after school program . This game has become a quick hit. It's so easy to learn and so fun. It's a fast paced game and you can be loosing one min and winning the next. Also a great game to teach kids about matching numbers and the concept of number sequence. Also great for the concept of addition as players must count there points at the end of each round.

Family's favorite game!!
This is our favorite card game to play as a family! Our son is 4 and daughter is 7 and they quickly caught on how to play. Needless to say it's easy and fun to play. The rounds are fairly fast and the cards are decent quality. This will be the game I get my extended family this year!
