Dutch Blitz has become a real favorite in our family. In this game everyone plays at once and the victory is to the one who can think and react quickly. We are a family of game players but it has been interesting to note that the young adult players in the family do much better at this game than the senior citizens. The little extra thought processing time needed as one ages becomes a handicap in this fast moving game.

This game is great. Our family has a difficult time doing it only one game. They play it and play it until the cards are tattered.

I played this game growing up and it’s still a family favorite! I am so excited to have found it! I surprised two family members with it and it made an excellent gift! Sooo much fun & very fast paced!

We discovered this game a few years back at the recommendation of a friend and we absolutely love it! It’s a fast-paced, multi-tasking game that will really challenge your mental skills as well as your fine-motor abilities. Our children enjoy it as well and have even become quite adept at beating the adults.
As homeschoolers, we’re always on the lookout for products that are fun, but especially for games or materials that have some sort of educational nature. While you aren’t going to learn history or science playing Dutch Blitz, you certainly have to learn how to think fast and move quickly, which are great skills in themselves!
The game sells for about $10.00 and it’s well worth the minimal investment for loads of fun – with your family or friends!

P.S. As a side note, I’ve given five stars on everything except durability. It is a CARD game, after all, and it’s not going to last forever. I think we’re already on our fifth deck – in three years. That’s actually pretty good considering how much we use the cards, but they do wear out because of the nature of the game. This is NOT Bridge and you won’t be sitting there playing a nice quiet game of cards sipping tea. You better move the food off the table, get the pets out of the way, and even have a few band-aids available for the potential scrapes that inevitably seem to happen when we play! It’s a FAST-paced game with loads of fun. I just didn’t want anyone to think I was posting a 4-star rating due to poor quality. The game is excellent, but cards do wear out.
