BESH! Card Game

The idea is fairly simple, each player takes it in turns playing a card from a pile with the aim of getting a line of their colour five tiles long. To start with the game seemed one that was easy to beat, but after a few warm-up games it becomes clear how cards relate to those already played due to their predictable patterns and then by the positioning of the played you can massively scupper the work of your opponents. A decent level of strategy soon becomes apparent; if you cannot give yourself an advantage, can you disadvantage your opponents? We've played this successfully with a 5 year old who was able to pick up the basics fairly quickly.The packaging could have been better with the box being better able to hold the many cards.

Good game to have stored in the recesses of my handbag for if my kids need to wait without something to do (like at a restaurant or doctor's surgery). Simple rules so even my 5 year old can play.The only complaint is the stupid box they have to slide back into. Splitting 60 wee cards into 4 piles of fifteen, to sit together and slide into the narrow case is challenging to say the least!

It's an OK - a bit underwhelming. Looked like it'd be more fun that it was. Buy if you've a few spare quid as it's by no means a rubbish game - just compared to the Dobble's, Exploding Kittens, Pit, etc of the world it's defo "League 2".

Not for us

Bought for granddaughter and played with her. A good little game which does not take up a lot of storage, does not have a lot of complicated rules and can be played quite quickly. Smashing little stocking filler.

As a young family we have bought and used lots of card playing games. This is the dullest we have ever used. Even the set up is fiddly as you have to remove certain colours on cards before you play depending on how many players you have.Once the game starts it’s so easy my 2 year old is bored. Aged 7+.......?Bish, bash, besh? No thanks!

Brilliant idea for a game so simple but engaging. Spent hours playing over Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed it. A game for the whole family to become engrossed in.

We really like this and it’s a really good concept and fun game. The only issue is I wish the cards where a little bigger
