Five Crowns (ML)

Five Crowns is a rummy-style card game featuring a unique five-suit double deck: spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds, and stars. This special structure makes it easier to create runs and books while adding strategic variety.

The game unfolds over eleven progressive rounds. Players start with three cards, then four in the next round, increasing up to thirteen. In each round, a different rank becomes wild — 3s in the first round, 4s in the next, all the way until Kings go wild. This rotating wild card system keeps everyone constantly adapting.

The goal is to be the first to go out each round while keeping your total score as low as possible, since the lowest overall score wins. Five Crowns is a family card game that blends hand management, set collection, and evolving tactical decisions into a smooth and engaging experience.

Five Crowns is for you if you enjoy classic rummy-style games with a clever twist and scalable depth. If you’re looking for a timeless card game that works equally well for kids and adults, this is a must-have.

Fun fact: Since its release in 1996, Five Crowns has become an award-winning bestseller thanks to its unique five-suit deck and rotating wild card mechanic.

Designed by Marsha J. Falco and published by PlayMonster, Five Crowns remains a staple in modern family card gaming.
