Five Crowns by PlayMonster is a rummy-style card game for 1-7 players aged 8+ using two 58-card decks featuring five suits (stars, hearts, clubs, spades, diamonds) with numbers 3-10, face cards, and Jokers as permanent wilds. Over 11 rounds, players receive increasing cards (3 in round 1 to 13 in round 11), form books (3+ same rank) and runs (3+ consecutive same suit), with rotating wild cards (threes first, progressing to kings last) adding strategic twists.
Draw from deck or discard, hold melds until "going out" by laying down your entire hand—others get one final turn to meld. Score unp layed cards (face value, J=11, Q=12, K=13, Jokers=50, wilds=20); lowest total after 11 rounds wins. Compact and portable, it's addictive for family nights or travel.
