Caravan game?

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:07 am

Hello everyone,
i was wondering if we were compelled to play that caravan game?

Lots of NPC offers to play it with me but i dont understand a thing about this game..
i read many times the rules and i'm still dont understand them (maybe the french translation is confusing me:/)..

for example, i understood we have to buid 3 caravans and try to get between some 2 numbers.. but i don't even understand how to stop putting cards on a caravan and work with the next one :/
nor how much figures costed in term of points :/

thanx in advance

Thanx man, (i don't have much problems to read/listen to english so that's cool)
as you can't practise this game irl with friends (it requires too many card games), it's quite hard to learn/love it^^
Plus i really doubt the ig french translation of the caravan game's rules is that right (my friends have the same problem to understand the rules^^).

It seems like a nice link, thanx again!
I'll give it a try.

By far the easiest way to get to grips with caravan is by loading your deck with 6's, 10's and Kings. Every other card is irrelevant.

When the game begins just discard 9's etc until you have 3 10's, then begin your caravans. Start by laying 3 10's, then put down kings, then finish them all using your 6's. Having a surplus of kings is handy too as you can use them to take down your opponents stacks. using this method it's easy to get a 100:0 win ratio.

Take in your deck 6's, 10's or 9's, 8's and with both have kings and the games yours.
The objective is to reach 26 on each caravan, tho sometimes i've had two 26's and lost when the other guys had 1 :/

Caravan is awesome for raking in the caps :D
