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.

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.

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.

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!

Mantis is a fun game that has a simple game play the younger kids can play too. The game comes with 105 playing cards and a little comic book. We love that the game play is short and it takes about 15 minutes to finish a round. It can be as cutthroat as you want it to be (with the adults we play rough) and the laughs and frustration is interchangeable. This game is going to be in our normal rotation of game nights for sure!

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this game! It's easy to learn and even younger kids can play! My 9 year old loves this game and wants to play it all the time! The strategy is easy to pick up on and it has just enough to keep it from being a game of complete chance.

This game is very simple to learn and is great for children as a typical game lasts about 10 minutes. It is a fun party game that really gets those competitive juices flowing. I would definitely recommend this product!

I absolutely love Mantis! It’s such a simple game but that makes it so playable! Even the kids love playing it and matching up all the shrimps😂😂 also the little book they include in the box is absolutely hilarious

I love that mantis was a quick playing game for families on the go we were able to play with multiple age levels from adults to probably about age 7 as it is a little confusing as I get younger but it’s great for color matching sorting and to raise your opponents and challenge them again I love that it’s a quick game is able to do it and when we’re on the go and in between appointments and stay off of devices and electronics and interact with people, it’s been wonderful
