Croquet - A cardboard game
Requirements
Description
the knights of the back garden clash in a dirty
duel, where cheap tricks, low blows, and bad
excuses are the order of the day.
Who’s getting the beer?
Gameplay is in turns, play your ball with cards like “It’s Crooked”, “Smack in the Arse”, and "Almost Straight". Outside your turn, play as many counter-moves you can to optimize your game. They could be: “Didn’t you skip me?”, “Ouch! My foot”, or "You shoot like a little girl”.
Croquet is a hysterically funny, fast-paced game, where you - in more than one sense - are treading on your opponents’ toes, and it has accomplished to pull the well-known garden game into the board game world.
Croquet - A cardboard game was nominated to "best board game" on Fastaval 2013.

Great fun. You end up playing all night.Very well balanced.
Just as mad as 'real life croquet' and super fun with the right group (it isn't a heavy Euro that's for sure). Love it
I have the game from the first English edition - and I love it. Just purchased it for my mother for Christmas present too. Game is fun if you ever played Croquet in real life - and c'moon, everyone h...
I tried it at Fastaval, and loved it. Super fun game. It is easy to understand, and you can almost sit down and play immediately. Messing with the other players - and the other players messing with yo...
This game is great fun - the challenge, the skill vs. randomness. When the balls hit each other, mayhe ensues and it is fun, just like a normal boring game of garden croquet get fun, when people peopl...
I had lots of fun playing this game. It's easy to learn, and fun to play for everyone. It's good for a casual game with your friends a Friday night.
It is a game that out of my relatively large collection gets picked very often for the 45-60 min light filler!
I have had a lot of fun playing Croquet. It is easy to learn (and teach) and after the first game, you want to make you one playing field "just to make it interesting" while you get another beer.
Tried it first time at Fastaval 2013. Was just supposed to sit through one play of this game - but turned out I played it three times that evening. It's that much fun! It's simple. It's hilarious an...
This is a quick and dirty game of betrayal and mayhem, all disquised as a "friendly" game of croquet with beer in hand while the sun is shining. Outwit your opponents, plan your course and hope nothi...
Great fun. Good (and yet more fun) interaction between players. Don't know what Croquet is? Well it's not like a fancy-pants garden version of polo or something - at least not in this game! :) No sir....
If you like the offbeat humor of Munchkin but would like something with a more coherent gameplay, which can actually be played with casual board gamer friends or family members, this is definitely the...
Tims review says it all.
It's fun and fast paced. A great filler.
Easy to pick up and play
Fast paced. Easy to learn for both regular and casual gamers. The obvious choice is to play the game with your friends over a beer. But it works fine as a warm-up game before starting a more heavy gam...
