Game Review: Hit The Deck

So my friends and I get together often and have game nights. I figured I'd start doing some game reviews for those of you who might also do them with your friends. Im always looking for new games too so if you have any recommendations let me know
The first one Im going to review is called Hit The Deck.
If you like Uno you will like this game! It really is a pretty simple and not too long! It is for 2 to 6 players.
here are what the cards look like
Shuffle the  cards and deal each person 7. The person to the left of the dealer goes first
You can lay down a matching # or color, A wild(a wild can not be played on a S card) or a S (S is a search card, when played the person whos turn is next must take from the draw pile until they draw a # card.) Search cards can only be played on # or R cards. R  (reverse) can be played on any matching color or other R other cards. HIT cards can be layed down at anytime. (If you have all 3 HIT THE DECk you can lay them down at once) Once a Hit is played it cant be stopped, the next person must lay down THE, if they cant do so they must draw a card and the next person goes. When you lay down DECK you must call out hit the deck, and you take the pile.

This is the back of the cards, When you cant go and you have to draw a card you have to draw however many the back of the card says.  And then it is the next persons turn. If its a color you must draw until you get that color. You may lay that card down to prove you got that color. and F is flip, you just turn that card over onto the top of the discard pile. 





She person gets rid of all their cards first wins, they then count how many hit the decks they have and get one point for each set.  They also get one point for each number card the other players are holding. The other players get one point for each hit the deck set they have. First person to 50 wins the game.

Sorry If i made this sound really confusing! This really was a fun game to play and probably a lot simpler than I made it sound!!  I bought it at Smiths Market Place for I think around 8 dollars.
If you want a simple card game to play while hanging out around the table talking, this is one to get!
