If you have two of the same cards in your hand, you may make a pair of them and place them face-up in front of you in your Asset pile.

The player challenging must now either show another matching card or a wild (if they want) to continue the challenge. While kids younger than 8 would be able to make matching pairs of cards in their hand and find matches among other players’ assets, they’re not going to like being stolen from.

I think, generally, that’s Grandpa Beck’s wheelhouse, so this is another solid title in that line, I’d argue. Once you have selected your paired assets you place them in front of you face up so that all players can see what cards you used (wilds are always placed below the actual assets). So, when Grandpa Beck’s Games gave us a chance to review Cover Your Assets, I was happily on board to give it a try.

Now, if you lay down a stamp collection pair, for example, anyone else with a stamp collection card (or wild) can opt to steal the pair from you. You then go back and forth until the attacker or the defender concedes (willfully or is forced to concede by not having another card to play). This is one you'll break out for your non-gamer friends and to kill some time between weightier games. After the last card is played, players total up the value of all cards in their asset pile and add that to their score from prior rounds.While I sincerely hope no fist fights break out while playing Cover Your Assets, there will be plenty of thefts and power battles. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. With this action you can form a set by combining a card from your hand with one or more matching cards from the three draft piles. Attempt to steal assets from another player: To steal from another player, the active player must show an asset card from their hand that matches the top asset on an opponent’s pile. Well, at the rate you can stack up assets in Cover Your Assets by Grandpa Beck’s Games, you’ll have a great chance of getting to a million in no time.
