Everyone loves this game
My 5 year old daughter and my 65 year old stepdad both love this game. It’s relaxed yet cutthroat. Quick to learn and play.

Great for the whole family!
My family loves to play this! Simple and fun, with enough depth to keep my wife and I entertained. The kids (3, 4, 6) all love playing and play at different strategy levels (with the 3 yo always stealing from her mom :) ).Teaches probabilities in a fun way too. Highly recommend!!P.S. grandparents and everyone else we've invited to play loved it too!

So much fun!
I gifted Mantis to my Grand Daughter and she was thrilled having played it with her cousins. When I played it with her and her siblings, I found out why she wanted it! It is a cleverly designed game, different from any other I've played - and it's so much fun! The ages I was playing with were a 6 year old, 8 , 11, and 68 year old and we all loved it! Thank you for developing well thought out, fun, and funny games. We own quite a few now!😃

Easy to learn.
This is a nice easy game. Didn't take much time at all to figure it out and play multiple rounds.

So much fun!
This game is incredibly easy to play but gets weirdly competitive with my family. It was a lot of fun and the cards are so cute!

Wasn't sure about this at first. But my kids (17 & 14) ask to play it all the time. Quick to learn and fun to play!

Fun Game, Bad for Color Blindness
Our family loves this game, we usually play the deck with four players. However, it is not color blind friendly and it is very hard for my dad to play this game with us unfortunately. I wish they would come out with another deck with friendlier colors, or bigger icons so that he can play easier.

Easy to learn, but very deep game
My family loved it. My extended family too! I explained this game in 2min to all of them, and we had a great time. Some of them don't even play boardgames and really enjoyed it... will buy more as gifts :)

Fun game
This is great for our family. Easy enough for our young kids and grandparents to play. The colors are vibrant. Quick game play. We have to keep playing till our youngest wins at least once which usually happens within a few games. This has become the go to game for our family.

Easy to learn
This game is adorable and I love that it comes with an educational booklet on the mantis shrimp, which I had never even heard of! The game is a quick one, but super fun for competitive folks like myself.

The best shrimp game
I do like this game but I am very into the illustrations and overall just love mantis shrimp. In comparison to exploding kittens it is slower and will not hold the attention as much. But it is a must have to add to the card collection.

Quick, but awesome game! Your family will love it!
Our family loved this game! It’s simple, quick game that was really fun. The rules were easy to figure out and we loved the strategy involved in deciding whether to try to score or to steal from another player. Mantis will definitely be added to our regular rotation.

Love that my younger kids can join in
We play UNO all the time in our house, so having another card game that my younger kids can join in on makes it a huge plus for our family of 6. Also love the shorter game time!
