About the game
Mint Condition Comics is a game where players compete for the best comic book collection. Players pick through piles, trade comics, and grow their collections wisely to score the most points! The game is typically played for 3 rounds. Each round the comic book cards are shuffled to form a deck which is then used to create a market (the Comic Book Shop) and three piles of comics. The round ends when the deck and piles have run out. In their turn, players first determine to trade with either the Comic Book Shop or with another player, then they proceed to pick piles. Players look at the last pile and decide to keep it or move on to the next pile, adding a card to the pile they just looked at. Once a player picks a pile, the cards are immediately added to their collection and are used to form or expand comic book sets. At the end of the round, players score points based on how complete their sets are as well as any special bonuses for that round. After the third or final round, the player with the most total points wins! Original design by John Retterer-Moore Development by Miguel Martinez and Aaron Burghard —description from the publisher

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mint Condition Comics for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
