How to play Morff
I don't understand why it is necessary for the trump cards to be layed out for everyone to see after they have been used. Whats the point. Do you go back to some of the trump cards you have already used. I would appreciate a reply. Thank You

Resolution for 2009
HI,
I received this game as a Christmas gift this year and we tried to play it tonight. I didn't realize that there were 2 decks...so I mixed them all up. There were only 4 of us...and it definitely didn't work out right. I'm glad to see that we should have only had HALF that many cards. Makes MUCH more sense. I look forward to trying this game again. -

We were playing with both decks because the inbox instructions did not say to only play with one deck, and it did not specify how many card to deal. So by having 20 trump cards and 80 Morff cards we figured it out. We also decided that when, for example, a yellow 8 was played, and then someone else played a yellow 8 that the last person that played the yellow 8 took the trick. It was a little confusing because the instructions and the trump deck says "hand" and a "hand" to us is a new deal with new cards. We think the trump deck should say "trick" since a new one is turned over for each "trick". It's fun.

Trump Cards for "all to see"???
Its so that you can guess and eliminate what trump cards are still in the trump deck, so you have an idea of what might be coming next.

WOW! Our fam totally agrees with other comments. I wasted some time writing an email to complain about the rules and even that part was worthless...it wouldn't go through. We had no clue that there even were 2 decks in the pack and that we were supposed to use only 1. Once we had all the cards mixed, we realized that we had no clue how many cards to deal out...also not on the card. We are now wasting time on the computer when we could've simply read rules that came with the game (or NOT, in this case) and the website is also none too helpful. Also, rules 1 and 2 on the card have many identical words and was not necessary to write both of them out. Instead, why not include important details about there being 2 decks, not to use both with only 4 players, and how many cards to deal out?

We love the game. Our personal issue is that we have friends who are color blind. Our suggestion would be to add the color in words on the deck to make game play easier for them. The only place the words of the colors are printed is on the trump deck.
Thank you,

We just got the game, tried it this evening with kids from age 7 to 11, went very smoothly. We like it as a family game, the opportunity is there for the kids to develop strategic skills as they learn to anticipate which cards will be more important in following rounds as the various trump cards are revealed.
The rules that we received with the game were quite clear for us. Perhaps older editions were not as clear.

How to play Morff
I just bought these today 7-31 and got the old version of insufficient directions. Please send your new & improved rules with definitions ASAP. Thanks. This game is rated for 6 year olds, as a 43 year old, I shouldn't need this much help just to play...
THANKS FOR YOUR PROMPT HELP. Perhaps you could put the new edition of useful rules on this website?

After we shuffled the two decks together, we played and disliked the game due to the "tie" issue, I looked here. The website states that only one deck is to be used. We pulled out the doubles of the "suited" cards and separated them.
The problem arises when dealing with the trump cards. Which trump cards go in each deck. There is no way to tell by just looking.

Question
The second person to lay the card wins the hand if you are playing with both decks.
You will only have duplicate cards if you are playing with both decks (there are two decks in a box)
If you have any other questions let me know.

Question
Are my decks just mixed up then, because I still have not heard an answer for what to do when two people play the same number of a suit. Just starting play, we encountered this problem. First person put down a blue 8, and so did the 4th. Now what? But your answer to the above seems to imply that there shouldn't be more than one 8 in a deck. Is that right? If so, then my decks got mixed along the way and if that's the case, my next question would be.... how do I separate them? One of each card per deck?
Thanks!!

How to play Morff
The only thing I was still confused about when I had read through this and watched the video was the trump suit. I didn't know what Trump meant, I ddn't realize that Trump was basically high suit of the hand. It is not required suit, just high suit, meaning it takes the trick. That needs to be explained somewhere with the rest of the lingo.

Thanks for posting -- sorry, I was on vacation and just got back. What specifically are you confused about? I'm perplexed b/c we've never had someone say that the same person wins every time. If you can give me specific questions I'm happy to help and answer. Email me direction at Corie@eurekaranch.com

How to play Morff
My daughters bought this game to enjoy during the summer and on camping trips. But we can't figure out how to play and not have the same person win everytime. We have watched the video over and over and are still very confussed!!!

How to play Morff
I pick it up so fast it is not confusing. I just brake it down parts and it is easy to do that. If you want to play a confusing game then play Rage, it is a card game to I like morff better then rage cuz morff is easy to lean. Maybe if you play more then 4 it is some time confusing. If you don't like the rules then chang the rules so you can play it easy. Like play with out teams. maybe it is confusing to kids cuz it is for 6 and up and a 6 year old plays it. Ya it will be confusing to them.

Thanks for the thoughts -- we did do just what you suggested when the rules were rewritten for clarification during the second printing (a few months back) we add "All of."

How to play Morff
Thanks for all the great comments -- and you are right we learned a HUGE lesson with the first release of MORFF. We did make the mistake of assuming that all people are familiar with card playing terminology. In the new edited directions we give definitions and address all the previous rules issues.
By the way I love you game recs -- haven't played some of them, but I'm a huge Phase 10 fan -- my husband and I carry the dice version when we travel.

How to play Morff
As I tend to be the one to find new games to introduce to my gaming groups, it falls to me to learn them, and then teach them to everyone else. I was picking up Phase 10 as a change of pace for our daily work lunch break card game and happened upon Morff. It looks like it'll be fun to play.
I do see the confusion with the quick reference rules cards. Most commercial card games will include quick reference cards like these along with their fold out rules and advertisement page. The Morff rules take it for granted that not everyone may have played a game such as Spades, Hearts, Euchre, or one of the many variants of Rummy. As such, terminology such as trump, suit, throw off, trick, etc., may seem overwhelming at first. On the other hand, for those who haven't played games like those, the company takes it for granted that they will have internet access to watch the tutorial video. But as has been stated, that's all water under the bridge.
Here are a few other great card games my groups play:
Phase 10
Easy to learn; quick to play.
www.fundexgames.com/productDetails.php?productId=4980&categoryId=4
Three Dragon Ante
Moderately easy to learn; can take hours to play. Also works best when using poker chips, or the like, to keep track of gold instead of having to have a score keeper. Somehow money disappears when someone has to play accountant, and sadly it doesn't even end up in the accountant's pocket.

Lunch Money / Beer Money
At heart, it's easy to learn. Games can run from "What happened?" to "Why won't you just tap out already?" Differences in ink colors between sets complicate things a bit. Card interaction between sets can get a bit hazy. If a card seems like too much of a hassle, remove it from your deck. Our house rule is that Imaginary Friends can use weapons. [Just watch Fight Club.]

Don't forget the aforementioned Spades, Hearts, Euchre, or one of the many variants of Rummy. I learned what is called Chinese Rummy from one of my friends and his family. It's one of the many variants of Contract Rummy. One of our managers at work told me the version he plays, and it was so radically different.
If anyone needs any rules clarifications on any of these games or would like more recommendations or even has recommendations of their own, feel free to email me.
