1 YEAR OF COMPACT FUN
5 out of 5 stars
1 YEAR OF COMPACT FUN
SO FUN, either with just a partner or friends (plays 2-5 people).The mechanics of the game are very simple, it's the execution that is a little difficult but just a short youtube tutorial should help. The box is so compact that I always have it in my purse or the car, we play it everywhere. I'm a big board game nerd though, so might just be me.Replayability: 8.8Difficulty: 6.2Aesthetics: 9.1This is definitely for card players, so if you or the kids aren't really into numbers/card games in general this may not be for you. Even after of year of handling from many people (including children) the cards and pieces are still in good shape.
Thank you for your feedback

Scout by Oink Games has quickly become a staple in our board game collection, and for good reason. This compact game packs a punch, delivering a delightful mix of strategy, social interaction, and quick-paced gameplay that keeps everyone at the table engaged.

One of the standout features of Scout is its simplicity. The rules are easy to grasp, making it accessible for players of all ages and experience levels. This makes it an ideal choice for family game nights or gatherings with friends who may not be seasoned board gamers. Yet, despite its simplicity, the game offers a surprising depth of strategy that keeps players coming back for more.

The portability of Scout is a game-changer. The small box size makes it perfect for on-the-go gaming, whether you're traveling, camping, or just heading to a friend's house. The components are durable, and the compact design ensures that setup and cleanup are a breeze, allowing for more time spent enjoying the game.

The social interaction element in Scout is fantastic. The bluffing and deduction aspects create an atmosphere of friendly competition and laughter. It's the kind of game that encourages conversation and banter among players, making it not just about winning, but about the shared experience of playing together.

The artwork and design are charming and add to the overall appeal of the game. The cute animal illustrations bring a lighthearted touch to the strategic gameplay, making it visually appealing for players of all ages. The components are of high quality, ensuring durability for repeated plays.

In conclusion, Scout by Oink Games is a gem in the world of compact board games. Its combination of accessibility, strategic depth, portability, and social interaction make it a must-have for any board game enthusiast. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just getting into the hobby, Scout promises a delightful and engaging experience every time you open the box. Highly recommended!

I’ve been looking for this game forever and it finally showed up on here! I’m glad I ordered it right away because this game has become THE opening game for game nights. It’s a quick, easy to learn, easy to teach trick taking game. A great game to play where conversation doesn’t distract from strategy. The components are decent quality although I score with BG Stats app instead of the point tokens but they are a fun visual indication of point values. The only negative I can think of is the theme. The circus theme doesn’t do it for me or anyone I’ve played with. The photo I posted with this review is a hand I was dealt after just 3 turns

The rules are simple and the unique mechanic, not being able to re-order the cards in your hand, makes it very fun.
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024
Some friends introduced us to this game and since then I've taught it to everyone from my parents in their 70s to my friends in their 40s and 50s on down to my youngest son who is 10.

It feels like it is going to be difficult to learn for a few minutes, just play a couple of open hands and a few hours later you will realize you need to stand up again!

It is the perfect mix of strategy and luck. You can choose if you want to play cooperative or not (and the person sitting next to you can make their own choice.) It is fast paced but you can still have a conversation while you play.

I love this game!
