We enjoy playing several trick-taking card games.
Our favorites over the years have been Skull King, The Crew: Mission Deep Sea, and Cat in the Box. That’s because they all present some very unique spins on basic trick-taking game play.
We’ve recently played a new trick-taking card game with unique twists that have us thinking in fresh ways yet again.
Sandbag, by Bezier Games, is a fun new spin on trick-taking card games that’s a lot of fun.

Two years ago we took off on a quest in space and now we’re searching the depths of the sea.
In fact, it was exactly 2 years ago, in March 2020, when we reviewed The Crew: Quest for Planet Nine by Kosmos. We played it a TON leading up to doing our review. And then we played it even more in the months after that while we were all shut inside as the Covid pandemic broke out around the world.
Needless to say, we absolutely loved the cooperative, trick-taking, mission-based card game. We could hardly get enough of it, even making up our own challenging mission scenarios.
Since then, Kosmos has gone ahead and outdone themselves with the follow-up game The Crew: Mission Deep Sea!
Yes, that’s right – they found a way to make a fantastic game even better. And I don’t think we’ll ever play the original again.

Three years ago we played a family card game that immediately became a family favorite. We played it over and over and quickly reviewed it to share why we enjoyed playing it so much.
The game was Skull King, by Grandpa Beck’s Games, and the enjoyment we get out of playing hasn’t subsided at all since then!
If anything, we’ve enjoyed it more and more over the years.
And now, there’s a new version of Skull King to love!
We were very excited when we found out Grandpa Beck’s Games was updating Skull King with a few new twists. And now that we’ve had time to play it over and over, we’re excited to tell you all about it.
