Fun fun fun. Grandpa beck games are awesome .we have not met one we didn't like! We were playing with my 3 daughters aged 10-16. We liked it so.well we got 2 more decks. With 4 of us it seemed a bit thin. Not hard to learn. Doesn't take too lomg to play. We started off with cover your assets (we double deck that one also) it can kinda get lomg for.littlrs that have a hard time holding still but anyway this is our 3rd grandpa beck game and they don't disappoint. I honestly think 5 and up could play this after a few rounds and having an older kid to read directions or they could watch a video

Great game! We love to play it! It takes strategy to play!

Super fun game for all ages. My husband and I enjoy playing it and my kids play it with us too. It takes about 30-40 minutes to complete and the cards are beautiful. My son got this for me for Christmas :)

This is super easy to learn and really fun. It's become my favorite game to just keep on the kitchen table to fill pockets of time. All the kids love it too.

At first, the rules sound complicated and the QR-linked video didn't help a lot. So, we slogged through the first game, consulting rules when we couldn't remember what was allowed. After that first slow game, it's easy and fun and we enjoy it a lot. Like other Grandpa Beck games, lovely cards and well made. So, if you get the game, don't give up until you've played it a couple of times - you'll be addicted!

I am a big fan of Grampa Beck's games and have a number of them in my collection including Cover Your Assets, Cover Your Cookies and Cover Your Kingdom. Toil and Troublez is a fun game but does have a bit more complicated rules. The game, at it's heart, is a push your luck set collection game. I found that it was easier to watch the How to Play video. The instructions aren't too long, but there are a lot of restrictions on how and where you can place and play cards and watching the video made it very clear. We were able to play without referring to the rules after a few playthroughs of the game though. You are trying to collect different cards into sets, either four of the same talisman cards, or one of each of five talisman, to score points. You can make your turn as long as you want providing you can play a card each time you draw. If you continue, but can't play a card your turn is over. You may have gotten the cards you wanted, or you may have set another player up to get them if your luck turns and that's the fun of the game. The cards are average weight cardstock but the artwork is colorful and very thematic, just like all of Grandpa Beck's games. I plan on sleeving them to protect them from wear and tear. Overall, we liked this game. It was a fun game that is quick to play taking under a half hour. It will take you a bit longer the first few times until you get the hang of the placement rules and different cards. Grandpa Beck always comes out with fun, family games that are simple to learn but fun enough that you will bring them to the table over and over. Toil and Troublez is no exception. At $17, you are definitely getting your value of fun.

We love games, board games, card games, and dice games. The game is easy to learn, fun, and challenging. It travelled with us on our vacation and was enjoyed by everyone, age 9 to 68. The cards are quality made.

Love Grampa becks games. This one was hard to figure out from instructions but a YouTube video of game play was all we needed. Once you know what to do very fun game

We learned how to play this with friend and I went and ordered it the next day! I like the artwork and premise of the game. Is really easy to learn and kids can play too!

love this game!

Very good quality. Pictures are beautiful. This is the 6th game I have bought from grandpa beck's and we love them all. I have kids from 7 to 16 and the adults also love the games.

The game looks to be interesting. Still have to play it. It took a bit to get an understanding of the game. The rules are a bit confusing given the sorcery type terminology used. I found a good YouTube video that explained the game quite well and confirmed what I thought I understood from reading the rules. The person on the video also commented about the terminology used in the rules / instructions.
