Build crosswise towers of matching assets, protect the top set, and steal from everyone else.
Cover Your Assets is a card game about building towers of matching sets and stealing everyone else's. You collect ten kinds of asset cards, such as jewels, piggy banks and classic cars, and each finished set is stacked crosswise on top of the last, covering the ones underneath. Only the top set is exposed. Show a matching card or a wild, which is a silver or gold card, and you can steal it. The owner defends by showing a matching card, you counter with another, and the battle swings back and forth until someone runs out. The first to a million wins. It is loud, petty and fast, from Grandpa Beck's Games, for two to six, about forty minutes.
Who it's for
You enjoy take-that and set collection with lively banter, and you want a game that accommodates up to six with simple rules and big swings.
Not for you if…
You dislike losing things you built or prefer cooperative or quiet games. Stealing is the whole point, and it will happen to you.
Vibe's take
Loud and petty in the best way. A tower sits there, glowing with value, then someone slaps down a wild card and the table erupts into a back-and-forth card duel.
