Mantis has quickly become a family favorite in our house! The rules are simple enough for kids to pick up in minutes, but there’s just enough strategy and suspense to keep adults engaged too.

Our family loves this game. We give it away for a great gift. It is fun with not too much time taken in strategic planning, and great for just enjoying being with friends and family. It just takes just a few moments to understand how to play, so it is fun for all ages - grandchildren to parents (who sometimes aren't interested in learning new games).

Ein sehr schönes Spiel. Ich spiele es mit Kindern ab 4 Jahren , aber auch mit Erwachsenen. Man kann es gut mitnehmen, es ist schnell erklärt und alle können direkt mitmachen. Man muss keine Karten auf der Hand halten können, nicht gut Lesen und Rechnen können ( außer zum Schluss die Punkte) .Die Karten under Umkarton sind von guter Qualität, hab nichts zu meckern.

I played this with friends and had to order is as soon as I got home! It’s a lot of fun and surprisingly addictive, with just the right amount of strategy and luck. It is easy to learn and play. The rules are simple, so even younger players can join in without any trouble. With quick rounds that only take about 10 minutes, it’s the perfect game to play a few times in a row or as a warm-up for a longer game night. It’s cutthroat in the best way, adding plenty of laughs and excitement to the table. I highly recommend Mantis for anyone looking for a fun, fast-paced game that works for all ages. It’s a great addition to your game collection! I bought it during Black Friday at $13 which was a steal.

The game is fun enough, with a fun- loving competitive edge, but the story book inside makes it amazing. Watch out for the Mantis shrimp!

This is a fun, easy game. My kids picked it up very easily, even my 6 year old. They enjoy playing it.The back of the cards gives you a peek at what the front might be so you can plan your move, steal from someone else's "tank" or try to score from your own "tank". It's a great way to teach your kids how to make smart decisions based on percentages (I have 2 out of those 3 colors, you have 1. Which is the better decision? Odd?) It's a very quick playing game, too quick in fact, for my family. We continue until the deck in exhausted instead of stopping when someone has scored 10. It's nice you can play easily with only 2 players or up to 6. We've only tried 3 or 4 so far though.Highly recommend. Enjoyable for kids and adults.
