Most people are familiar with the card game, Speed, where two players are trying to get rid of all their cards by playing them onto two central decks. Cards are played by number sequence or matching suits. Blink is a modification of speed that has made some nice improvements. The Blink deck has five colors, six shapes (or suits), and the shapes appear in sets of one to five. Players play out of a hand of three cards onto two central piles. Legal plays are where a card matches the pile’s top card’s shape, color, or count. It is a fun, quick filler game that usually spawns a lot of laughs. Inexpensive, and a short playing time make it a winner in my book.
