The 80-card commercial deck contains cards ranked from 12 to 1, along with two Jokers (or "Jesters", as they are here called). Each card bears a number, which is not only its rank, but also tells you how many of that card exist in the deck. In other words, there are twelve 12s, eleven 11s, four 4s and a single card ranked 1. The lower the number, the better the rank. Playing Time: 60 Minutes.

fun for the whole family:
Great game for a family gettogether. Nice part of the game is that you can play each round individually if you want so you don't have a long time commitment.

It is also a lot of fun for college students as my nephew played it a lot in school.
Best Game Ever!!!:
I love this game. My family plays it all of the time. The only downside is that the cards get beat up quickly if you play it alot. I am on my second set of cards and no one is my family is sick of the game yet!!!
