Frantic Antics is one of the better games ported from a TV show. You can play as Tom the cat, Jerry the mouse, or both for some two player side scrolling action. In my experience, it’s actually better as a two player game. Playing solo is on par with the Shinobi games for Genesis, it takes a lot of practice. When you have two players, the game is much better.

The game is based on Tom and Jerry: The Movie from 1992. Tom and Jerry have to help the Robyn defeat her aunt Figg, the final boss and reunite her with her father. The levels are based on places from the movie. It starts in a nice enough neighborhood dodging dogs, pits, and other obstacles. Other levels include a condemned house, an alley, the sewers, a library, the dog pound, the carnival, and finally a cabin.

Each level relies on very well timed jumps and dodges. Sometimes a frisbee, football, or other weapon is available. However, these attacks are limited to 3 shots. The only other way to take out enemies is to roll into them. Mostly, it’s better to just avoid anything thrown at you.

This game heavily relies on being able to jump properly. Meaning getting a running start and jumping as close to the edge as possible. I’ll admit there are places in the library, the carnival, and the cabin where it’s brutal if you miss certain jumps. These jumps are the most challenging part of the game. The end boss is easy compared to some of those jumps.

My favorite parts are the two player mode. Being able to play side by side is a rarity for many Genesis games. Frantic Antics gets this part right. The two player mode lets players look out for each other and spread the damage out so both can live longer.

Tom can jump higher and is a bit of a tank character while Jerry can jump farther, slides more, but has a very small hit box. These small differences have advantages in two player mode but seem to make it harder in single player mode.

The critical jumps in most levels from the library on. Really there are only about 3 or 4 hard jumps total. You’ll know them when you get to them. Missing them eats up crucial time or sends you plummeting back a long way.

Other than those extremely difficult jumps, the game is a lot of fun. The timer can be a bit of a bummer from time to time. But we learned to keep running as much as possible to beat the clock.

Overall, Tom and Jerry Frantic Antics is a lot of fun, and very rewarding to see that final screen shot. It takes a lot of practice to get there but it’s worth it.

If you like two player games, Tom and Jerry Frantic Antics is worth a try. The strengths and weaknesses of each player is really important to finishing each level. Staying in sync and on screen gets to be second nature after a while. It makes for a fun gaming experience.

Tom and Jerry Frantic Antics came out in 1992 for the Sega Genesis but still holds up as a great game.

Chickadee loves to have family gaming days. She loves birds, unicorns, ponies She also likes the Nancy Drew Games. She loves to play as Princess Daisy in the Super Mario Games, Her favorite games change a lot but right they are: Mario Party Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Pretty Princess Party.

All the cards are dealt out face down, even if a player has an extra card. Each player stacks their cards in a pile face down and nobody is allowed to look at them. Players sit in a ring with their piles in front of them.

Players take turns. They flip the top card from their pile into the center so everyone can see it. The next player then flips the top card from their stack in the center stack. It’s up to the players how fast or slow they want to play, but faster is better.

Players watch the stack. They wait for a Jack to show. When a Jack is shown, a player must immediately slap it. Thus the name of the game. The first hand on the Jack wins the whole center stack. The player to first slap the Jack adds those cards to the bottom of their pile.

If nobody slaps the Jack before another card is played, it’s too late. If a player slaps a card that is not a Jack, they give one card from their pile to the player who laid the last card. Players keep the game fair with clear calls.

Play continues until one player holds all the cards. If players run out of cards they still can slap a Jack played. Even if one player is throwing cards in the middle stack, other players still have the opportunity to slap a Jack played. When one player finally holds all the cards that player wins.

Keep your eyes on the stack. Hold your hand ready to slap. Stay steady to avoid wrong slaps. Be sure to laugh when the play gets wild.

Slap Jack is quick and bright. You can learn it in one round. You can teach it with ease. It brings sharp hands and sharp eyes.

The game begins by dealing five cards to each player. The dealer then lays one card face up to start the discard pile. If an eight is turned up it is placed back in the deck and another card is turned up The rest of the deck forms the draw pile.

Players take turns. A player must match the top card by number or suit. A player may play an eight at any time. An eight is like a wild card and lets the player call the next suit. The next player must follow that suit or play another eight.

If a player can’t match the turned up card, they draw a card from the pile until they can match it. Play moves clockwise. The first player with no cards wins the round.

The table may keep score if the group wants a long game. A winner gains a point from each card left in the hands of others. Any eights give five points.

Crazy Eights is great for kids, friends, or family. It’s simple play and few rules make it a easy to learn. Anyone who’s looking for a short and bright contest will enjoy Crazy Eights.

Blink is a fast paced card game for two to four players. Each player tries to shed all cards first. Speed and sight guide the play since there aren’t any turns.

Blink uses a deck with shapes, numbers, and colors. Shuffle and deal out all the cards to each player. Then each player takes the top card off their stack and places it face up in the middle to start a discard pile. After that, each player draws three cards. When everyone is ready, the game begins. Players discard the cards in their hand by matching the color, number, or shape of any card in the discard pile. The game does not use turns, players can play as soon as they see a match.

When a player runs out of cards they draw three more. The round keeps a sharp pace. Each player tries to see links and place their cards fast. The stacks shrink as players set down their cards.

The player who runs out of cards first wins. If both run out at the same time, the game ends in a tie. If you have more than two players you can continue playing until second place, third place, and so on are ranked.

If during the round no one can play, a player can flip the top card of their draw stack and place it on the pile that gave them the block.

Blink is definitely a fast paced card game. If you like chaos, then you’ll love Blink. Our gaming sessions can get out of hand. We use bowls to keep the piles separate. Some players would throw their cards rather excitedly and make a mess.

Blink is easy to learn and playable by a variety of ages. It’s for people who like quick play and loads of fun.

Blink rewards clear sight and quick hands. You can learn the game in a short time. You can play many rounds in one sitting.

Each player seeks to form sets and runs in their hand. A set is three or four cards of the same rank. A run is three or more cards in order in the same suit. The goal is to shape your hand so it’s full of sets or runs before the other player.

Each player draws one card at the start. The high card deals. The dealer gives ten cards to each player then places the rest of the deck face down. Then the dealer turns the top card of the deck face up to start the discard pile.

The non-dealer may take the face-up card or pass. If the non-dealer passes, the dealer may take it or pass. If everyone passes, the non-dealer draws from the deck. Play then moves in turns. At the beginning of a players turn they either draw one card from the deck or the top of the discard pile. Then they discard a card they don’t need to the discard pile to complete their turn.

The players seek to shape sets and runs as they draw and shed deadwood. Once a player fills their hand with sets or runs they lay it down and declare “Gin”. Some people also like to say, “What’s the name of the game?”

The player that goes out doesn’t get any points. The other players cards that aren’t part of a set or run, called deadwood, count against them. Some variations allow players to add their deadwood to the sets or runs of the player that went out to avoid points.

Any leftover cards count against the player. Number cards count as five points. Face cards count as ten. Aces count as one.

The players keep score over many hands. The game ends when a player reaches a set score. The lowest score wins. Typically, 100 is the set score. It can be more or less depending on how long the players want to play.

Gin rewards clear thought. It also rewards sound reads of the other’s play. Watch what other players discard to know what’s safe to discard. Also, watching what they pick up to know what to avoid discarding.

Gin Rummy has been around a long time due to how simple, fast, and fun it is to play with family and friends!

A Scopa deck has four suits. They are coins, cups, swords, and clubs. Each suit has cards from one to seven, and three face cards: jack, knight, and king. The number cards count as their face value. The jack is worth 8, the knight 9, and the king 10.

Each player gets three cards. Place four cards face up on the table. The rest of the deck stays in a stack for later rounds.

The dealer starts. On your turn, you play one card from your hand. If the value of your card matches a card on the table, you take that card. If the value of your card matches the sum of more than one card, you may take all those cards. If no match is possible, your card stays on the table.

When every player has played all three cards, deal three more to each. Keep playing until the deck runs out.

If you take all the cards from the table in one play, you make a “Scopa.” Mark one point for it. Leave your winning card face up in your pile to show the Scopa.

At the end of the game, players count their points.
You score points for:

• Most cards taken (1 point)
• Most coins taken (1 point)
• The seven of coins (1 point)
• Best “Primiera,” which means the best set of high cards, one from each suit (1 point)

Add one point for each Scopa you made. The player with the most points wins.

Watch what others take. Hold back cards that may give them an easy Scopa. Try to win coins and sevens when you can.

Scopa is quick to learn and full of skill. With a few rounds, you will start to see its depth and rhythm.

Euchre requires a regular deck of cards but only 9 and up are used. The rest of the deck is not used for play. Score is kept using all the 5’s or some prefer using the 4’s and 6’s. By revealing a mark for each point scored.

Each player gets five cards. The dealer gives the cards in groups of two or three. The rest of the deck stays in the middle. The top card is turned face up. This card helps set the trump suit.

The suit of the face-up card can become trump if anyone “orders it up”. Starting with the player to the left of the dealer, each player can choose to order it up or pass. To order it up means to make that suit trump. Only the dealer picks up the card showing and gets to discards one card.

If all players pass, the dealer can turn the card down. Then, each player can name a different suit as trump. If all pass again, the cards are all thrown in and the dealer deals a new hand.

The player to the left of the dealer leads the first trick. Each player must follow suit if able. The highest card in the suit led wins the trick unless a trump is played. A trump card beats all cards of other suits.

In Euchre, the two top trump cards are the “bowers.” The right bower is the jack of trump. The left bower is the jack of the same color as trump. For example, if hearts are trump, the jack of hearts is the right bower and the jack of diamonds is the left bower.

• Right bower (Jack of suit called)
• Left bower (same color jack of suit called)
• Ace
• King
• Oueen
• 10
• 9

The team that named trump must win at least three tricks to score. Three or four tricks earn one point. Winning all five tricks earns two points. If the other team wins three or more tricks, the calling team is set. The set team gets no points while the other team is awarded two points.

Play continues until one team reaches the ten points. Euchre mixes luck and skill. A good player reads the cards, trusts the partner, and knows when to take a risk.

Players can also “go alone.” This means one player tries to win all five tricks without help from a partner. If successful, the lone player’s team earns four points.

Otherwise the same scoring rules apple : if three or four tricks are taken only one point is scored. If the other team takes three tricks they earn two points.

An optional rule is if a player’s hand is entirely 9’s and 10’s they can throw in that hand and redeal. .

In cases of experienced players, you don’t always have to play out the last few tricks. For example, you can lay down an unbeatable hand such as right bower, left bower, ace, queen, 9. But the other team always has the option to “play it out”.

A general rule of thumb is calling next when a dealer passes on whatever card is showing. For example, if the dealer turns down a king of spades, a good call for the opposing team is clubs.

The opposite is also true for the dealing team. If the dealer turned down the king of spades, a good call for their partner is hearts or diamonds.

This strategy isn’t a guarantee. It assumes you have at least a decent hand to call. However, anytime the card showing is turned down, it’s a good indication of the which team is stronger in which suit, red or black.

Another strategy is calling alone when you’re sure to get 1 point. For example, right bower, left bower, queen, with an ace and 9 for off suit may be worth calling for inexperienced players. Yet, experienced players see that as an alone call.

Euchre is quick, lively, and full of turns. With practice, the rhythm of the game feels natural. It brings friendly rivalry and laughter to the table.

500 bid requires four players and a standard deck of cards with a joker. The 2’s, and 3’s of each suit are removed and one joker is added. Once the deck is setup, ten cards are dealt out to each player. The remaining 5 cards are placed face down in the middle. This is the kitty. The winning bid gets to pick up the kitty and discard 5 cards.

The player to the left of the dealer starts the bidding. They can bid or pass. Bidding involves assessing your best suit and how many tricks you think you can take. For example, 6 diamonds.

Each suit is ranked. Spades are lowest, followed by clubs, diamonds, and hearts. No trump is higher than hearts. This means a bid of 7 spades is necessary to outbid 6 diamonds. The lowest bid is 6 spades and the highest bid possible is 10 no trump. Here is the bidding from lowest to highest:

• 6 Spades is worth 140 points
• 6 Clubs is worth 160 points
• 6 Diamonds is worth 180 points
• 6 Hearts is worth 200 points
• 6 No trump 220 points
• 7 Spades is worth 240 points
• 7 Clubs is worth 260 points
• 7 Diamonds is worth 280 points
• 7 Hearts is worth 300 points
• 7 No trump is worth 320 points
• 8 Spades is worth 340 points
• 8 Clubs is worth 360 points
• 8 Diamonds is worth 380 points
• 8 Hearts is worth 400 points
• 8 No trump is worth 420 points
• 9 Spades is worth 440 points
• 9 Clubs is worth 460 points
• 9 Diamonds is worth 480 points
• 9 Hearts is worth 500 points
• 9 No trump is worth 520 points
• 10 Spades is worth 540 points
• 10 Clubs is worth 560 points
• 10 Diamonds is worth 580 points
• 10 Hearts is worth 600 points
• 10 No trump is worth 620 points

Bids typically go between 6 and 8. I’ve seen 9 bids few times, and even a 10 bid once. But those are exceedingly rare. Players have to outbid the first bid or pass. The bidding keeps going until every player has passed.

In 500 bid the joker is always the highest ranked card, even with no trump. The joker becomes the highest card for whatever suit was bid. Followed by the bowers. The right bower is the jack of the suit bid while the left bower is the jack of the other color of the suit called.

For example, if hearts was bid the rank of the cards would be the joker, jack of hearts, jack of diamonds, ace of hearts, king of hearts, queen of hearts, 10 of hearts, 9 of hearts, and on down.

For no trump the only trump card is technically the joker. The rest of the round depends on what suit is lead. Any ace is high, followed by the king, queen, jack, 10, 9, and on down. There aren’t any bowers in no trump. Only the joker can take a trick if the player doesn’t have to follow suit.

The player that won the bidding gets to pick up the kitty and discard 5 cards. Short suiting, or discarding the lowest cards is the best practice.

That player also gets to lead. They can lead with trump, in fact leading with the joker is usually a good idea. Players all have to follow whatever suit was lead. The high card played wins that trick. The winner also gets to lead for the next trick.

The round ends when all 10 tricks are played. Each team counts their tricks to assess their score.

The team that won the bid has to win an equal amount of tricks or greater in order to get points. They are awarded the amount of points for their bid even if they took more tricks than their bid. If they fall short of their bid they are set and lose the amount of points they bid.

The other team is only awarded 10 points for each trick won. There aren’t any bags in this game. Taking more than your bid is just leaving points on the table.

Getting the lead and the kitty is usually an advantage. So this game tends to favor the people who are bold at bidding. However, reckless bidding results in being set frequently.

Bidding involves paying attention to the cards in your hand as well as what others are bidding. If everyone passes, the kitty may have some hidden gems. If one team is bidding red (hearts/diamonds), you and your partner usually are better off calling black (spades/clubs).

Having 6 or more trump, even low cards means the other players probably have little trump. It only takes one or two leads of trump to bleed everyone out of trump, making low end cards valuable. Having 7 or 8 trump plus an ace makes for a good hand, even without a joker or bower.

Usually what you should bid jumps out at you. Generally, having more trump is better than having higher trump. For example, having joker, left bower, plus several more trump is better than having joker, right bower, and only one more trump.

I also consider, what kind of shape I would be in for each suit if I didn’t get the bid. Maybe, a setting hand is better to pass with.

I like 500 bid because it seems to involve more skill than Euchre. Bidding alone involves a lot of skill assessing your hand, your partner’s skill, your opponents bids, and guessing what’s in the kitty.

It requires keeping track of what trump cards have been played and what trump cards have yet to be played. Plus watching what the other players are throwing informs you of how the last few tricks may go down.

Overall, 500 bid involves complicated bidding and scorekeeping, however, it’s still a lot of fun to play. A very rewarding game to play with friends or family.

How to Play 500 Bid brought to you by: David M.

I’m David M. I’ve been playing video games a long time, my pong game was fire. Now, my kids run circles around me but we always have a good time. We mostly play party and family games.

In Spades, spades is always trump. Which makes it easy to remember. Bidding and score keeping are also straightforward. Learning Spades definitely makes learning the more complicated trump games easier. Still, Spades is fun enough on it’s own.

Spades is a card game requiring four people. It’s a basic version of other trump type card games such as Euchre, 500 Bid, or Bridge. The bidding is simple and so is the score keeping compared to other card games.

Start with a regular deck of 52 cards and 4 players. Decide who is to deal first then deal out all the cards. Once everyone looks at their cards and is ready the bidding begins. The person to the left of the dealer bids first. They asses how many tricks they can take. Each lead of cards is a trick. High card or trump wins the trick.

Players can bid between 0 and 13, however bidding between 2 and 5 is very common.

Bidding 0 or nil is a strategic move where the player attempts to take zero tricks. This is generally only successful when you have 2 or less trump, have a lot of one suit, or very few high cards. A successful nil bid wins 100 points. Not getting a nil bid loses 100 points.

If you’re not sure what to bid, a general rule of thumb is to count how many spades you have and bit that. A better way is to count aces, kings, and any more than 3 trump. Other factors to consider are being short suited, or heavy suited. For example, say you have 6 diamonds in your hand with ace, king, queen. The ace of diamonds is probably good for one trick, but the king is likely to get trumped.

Once everyone has bid the scorekeeper writes it down. It’s up to you and your partner to take the exact number of bids your team made. If you take less than you bid you lose however many points you bid. Taking extra tricks results in “bags”. Once your team accumulates 10 bags you lose 100 points. It’s best to take exactly the number of tricks you bid.

Once the scoring is recorded, the round begins. The player to the left of the dealer leads. Whatever suit is lead has to be followed. Each player throws one card in the trick. The high card of the suit lead wins or any spade thrown. The player that takes the trick gets to lead the next hand.

Spades can’t be lead until they’re broken or that’s all you have in your hand. Spades are broken when a player runs out of the suit lead and decides to use a spade.

The round ends when once everyone has played all their cards. Then each team counts how many tricks they took (max 13). If you got your bid then you get your bid x10 points. For example, if you bid 6 and took 6 tricks you get 60 points. If you bid 5 and took 7 tricks, then you get 52 points. Each bag only counts as 1 point.

If your team bid 7 and only took 6 tricks, then you lose 60 points. For a nil bid you get 100 points plus whatever your partner bid. For example, if you bid nil and your partner bid 4 then you would get 140 points as long as you didn’t take any tricks and your partner got 4 tricks.

Any tricks over your bid results in a bag and only counts as 1 point. Once you accumulate 10 or more points your team loses 100 points. The first team to 500 points wins.

Be sure to bid as accurately as you can. Pay attention to the total bid each round. If there’s only 9 or 10 bids total, there’s a lot of bags for that round. Which means it’s likely you’ll get your bid so don’t play as aggressively. Avoid taking extra tricks by dumping high cards or trump.

Conversely, if there’s 12 or 13 bids be sure to play as aggressively as you can. It’s likely one team will get set (not make their bid) when there’s 13 bids total.

Some players tend to develop habits such as underbidding or overbidding. Take your partners style into account when bidding. If your partner bids nil a good strategy is to bid a bit more since there tends to be a lot of bags during a nil bid round.

Spades is a fun card game that requires a bit of skill to win. It’s a fairly simple game to learn and very rewarding to play with friends.
