A Fun Betting Game With Dice, Cards, And A SlideApr 26, 2012
By Chad S. Groen
All In is a unique little game that uses cards, dice, and betting chips. One cool feature is that the case for the game can open up in a way that it can be used as a slide to roll the dice, and it actually works quite well. Players start the game with 13 cards in their hands, which are numbered 1-13. They take there turns rolling 1-3 dice, but before they roll, everyone picks a card with the number that they think will be rolled, without telling or showing anyone that number. After the die/dice have been rolled, players start bidding on the card they played for that round. The way the betting works is pretty similar to poker. Once the betting ends, the player whose card is closest to the number rolled without going over wins all the chips in the pool. If there's a tie then the chips are distributed evenly to each of the winning players (sometimes a chip will have to stay in the pool though to keep the amount distributed to the tied players even. That chip will be included in the pool for the next round). You can only use each card once, so you have to try and be careful selecting your card for each round. The game ends either when a player wins all the chips or when the players have used all 13 cards (the player with the most chips at that point wins the game).
I do enjoy playing this game, but there are a couple of obvious flaws. First all, the chips in this game have different values: some are worth 1 point, some are worth 2, and some are worth 5. The problem with that is there are very few 1-point chips in this game and you can quickly run out, especially since players begin each round by placing a one-point chip in the pool. The game includes just enough 1-point chips, 2-point chips, and 5-point chips for the maximum number of players to start the game with. There are no extra chips whatsoever. It doesn't seem like Fundex considered that when making this game. Fortunately this issue can be countered if you have some poker chips in your home.
Another flaw is that the cards only go up to 13, and you can roll as many as three dice, which means you can roll a number as big as 18. I can kind of understand why they wouldn't include cards for #18 or #17 since those numbers are rarely rolled, but it doesn't make sense to only include one card (which is for #13) out of the six different numbers that can only be rolled with three dice. Either Fundex didn't think that through carefully enough, or they thought it through way too carefully.
One smaller issue I have is the rules say that after you use a card, not only can you not use it for the rest of the game (which is a twist I like) but you also have to keep that card face up so people can see it. I personally don't like that rule because it seems like it can help your opponents way too much during the betting process, especially toward the end of the game. There are some people, however, who like this rule, so I think it should be more of an alternative rule.
Overall, I do think All In is a fun game to play, and it's also easy to carry around because of its small, compact size. It's not perfect, but if you can ignore its flaws and also have some extra poker chips lying around then I think you'll enjoy this game, especially if you're into betting games.
