Cuinze is a shedding game of luck, memory, skill and strategy. It is a competitive game: be the first to play all of your tiles and you WIN! At game's end, players are ordered from first place to last place. As long as you are in the top half of all players, you are still a winner! It is fast-paced: there is little waiting between turns, and a game normally ends within 10 minutes. Rules are straightforward and easy to learn. The game teaches young children how to track and sequence numbers, recognize patterns, assess probabilities, and develop strategies: the game avoids use of face cards that impede learning of numbers. It is family friendly (ages 8 and up) - adults will not dominate! It is great for groups: an unlimited number of players (with more boxes) can easily play together in one giant game. Freestanding tiles provide a satisfying tactile experience; no racks are needed and no more fumbling to hide cards.
