Best Card Games of 2006

Designed by Brian Yu; published by Mattel; 2 players; ages 10 and up; $17 (approximate)

Voltage is a great two-player card game. The rules are simple, but players always have tough decisions to make as they compete to be the first to successfully power four terminals. Just about every game between good players will be tight to the very end. Voltage is a well-designed game, and Mattel deserves credit for being the first major U.S. game publisher to put the game designer's name on the box cover (much like an author's name is on a book cover). Look for Voltage at stores like Barnes & Noble.
