Description
Mantis has only two rules: Steal or Score your way to victory. Collect matching cards by stealing or scoring until the winner has 10 cards in their score pile.
With the simplicity of UNO and depth of Gin Rummy, Mantis is designed for both kids and adults. But adults should be warned that kids will often beat them at this game.

- tennis which isn't about Letterkenny anyone know what I'm talking about even a little bit
- I had no idea what that actually meant so I read the rule book online and this core mechanism is essentially a cool spin on Go Fish where you call for a card and then depending on whether the person you ask has it or not different effects play out
- are we the bad guy are we bad people why not just all of us Escape I'm sure there's a reason but just feels like we could have always all escaped at the same time without leaving people on the island marooned to do all this
- old elegant neuro games with simple rules and more depth than first meets the eye
- it's a classic accessible and Slick design that's getting the wonderful super meeple treatment where they update and upgrade things from the modern markets and I'm really very excited about it
- I think it's cool to take what really worked from that expansion and build on it which I suppose is a pun
- sounds honestly like a wonderful place
- two player trick taking card games used to be the FIFA dreams of a madman but they are slightly more available now
- the Roaring Kraken makes for a deafening situation on board and players are unable to communicate about tactics and card information from the moment the cars are dealt to the end of the action phase
- I really want this game to be good I'm very excited about it
- which makes me hope that they had their imagineers busy with gameplay not in the naming Department
