For Christmas I got a new card game called Dutch Blitz.  This card game was started by the Amish and has Amish images on the backs of the cards along with numbers on the front of the cards.  You can buy this game at Amazon or just look up Dutch Blitz on the internet.  This game can be very competitive.  I have never played a round without people yelling.    

This is a very fast-paced game and unlike any game I have ever played before.   You start with three cards in front of you face up.  You also have a pile of ten cards (Blitz pile) that are also face up.  All players begin placing any playable cards in the middle, which would consist of ones. You then begin laying cards down in ascending numerical order according to the color. For example, if a blue one is played in the center, then a blue two could be played on top of it. If one of the three cards in front of you is played, you move the top card of your Blitz pile into the empty spot so that there are always three cards face up. When your Blitz pile is gone, you are the winner of that round. 

This game has a price tag of $12 and I definitely think it’s worth it. I’ve played this game for hours straight and I think anyone could enjoy it. It’s a good way to waste time and most people seem to be a fan. I think the best part is how much time you can spend on it and it doesn’t get boring. It’s only downfall is it can be high stress, which some people find overwhelming. On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give this game a 4.5, and I think everyone should try it. It takes a couple rounds to understand the rules, so if it’s slow at first, I’d keep going.
