We were rather disappointed by this game. The description on the box made it sound similar to some of our favorite card/strategy games. However, once we opened the box, the directions were very confusing, and it is not that fun to play.

The directions are so confusing, and conflicting, so who knows if the game is fun or not??? You can't follow the directions, because they make no sense!

As always, Jax delivers a lackluster product. As far as I know, Take Away didn't exist in public domain before they produced a version of it (which for Jax is amazing, since they have produced versions of Nerts (Solitaire Frenzy), Shut The Box (Chips), Kings In The Corner (Kings In The Corner... trés original, no?), and even Rock Paper Scissors (Rock Paper Scissors: The Card Game. I kid you not). While Jax wants to portray the game as being even remotely strategic, it's almost totally luck. The rules are horribly written, too. Paragraphs go where sentences would suffice, and the whole thing just reeks of being written by an attorney or Congressman. If you feel like you need to pay 10 bucks for a specialized plastic gizmo and a deck of playing cards, go right ahead and pick this up. I'll pass.
