What's all the Hubbub and Ruckus about?

For a card game that doesn't take all night to play, look no further than Ruckus ($9.99) from Hubbub, Inc., Northfield, Ill. In this easy-to-learn, fast-paced game, players are dealt seven each of the quirky cards--e.g., monkey in a bottle, fish man, pig in the attic--and immediately place all sets of two or more on the table. These can be stolen by any player with a match and cards can be stolen back and forth. As new hands are dealt, the action continues until any player is out of cards. Points are tallied by subtracting the number of cards still held from the total number of cards in their sets.
