Parlay - The Betting Game Reviews 20

I love this game. I gave it to my daughter and her family, all board game fanatics, and they loved it and play it often. Easy enough for a smart 8 year old to play but challenging enough to keep each game fun and interesting. The board is elegant and the playing tokens are whimsical, creative and stunning. Very fancy-pantsy and I mean that in the most complimentary way. I am thinking of buying a second one to keep at my house when my grandchildren and their parents visit. Bravo to the team who designed it!

They graded a slip incorrectly and missed the OFFICIAL stat line which would have caused my slip to win. They refused to correct the slip and said if you dont get it updated within an hour after it settles then they dont do anything about it. Absolute scam

We gifted Parlay to our in-laws for Christmas and recently opened it up…Parlay did not disappoint! Once we figured out the rules, we played quickly (and competitively!) the game was beautifully packaged, easy to play, and the fine details really brought it to the next level. It is definitely an elevated version of a card/board game. It even came with a tasting menu and Spotify playlist which we absolutely loved. What drew me to Parlay was their sophisticated marketing and glamorous vibe, which is not only extra fancy but makes it a perfect gift. Parlay is going on my great gift idea list. Nice work, Team Parlay. Keep it up!

Was gifted from my in-laws for Christmas and we had a blast playing! Learned that Parlay is a fresh take on an old card game, with the betting component and special cards giving an exciting twist. We played and laughed for hours, and then did it again the next night. We can’t wait to host friends for game nights, not to mention how beautiful the game is and the perfect attention to detail in every piece. Board game perfection.

My husband got this for me for Christmas. He had supported Parlay on kickstarter and we were both amazed by the quality and attention to detail. The leather box it comes in (I believe this is an upgrade but totally worth it) is beautiful. We love the pieces - they are unique and such good quality. We got the extension pack so we can play with more friends and those pieces are just as good. So far we’ve only played with two people but we think it will be even more fun with more people! This has become our new favorite board game - we love that they included a Spotify playlist, a really nice video to help learn the rules and on the 8 card, there was a thank you note for being one of the first people to purchase it.

I could see his board game becoming a classic like monopoly! It is so well done!! I hope it becomes a staple in many family’s homes. :)

Waited for this game long before it finally became available and it was worth the wait and every penny! I believe I was one of the first to sign up on Kickstarter and signed up for notifications years ago. The board is beautiful, the game pieces have great weight and quality, and we love the cards (just wish the font was more old-people friendly for my parents haha). The thank you note on one of the cards saying that it was one of the first batch made was a nice touch, especially as I see this as a game that will be kept for years, generations. We are a board game family and we have several games that we’ve had for decades, rare board games, and limited editions. This game is a wonderful addition. The game itself is similar to a card game we already play, but on steroids! The differences in how it’s played keeps the game fresh and is also flexible enough for us to add more differences to change it up. Bought it for my parents for Christmas. Love it!

I love everything about this game. It gives a classy and elegant ambiance, while also creating MAJOR competition and great vibes.
Get your charcuterie, jazz and martinis ready. It’s a good time!

Such a fun game! I’m a sucker for aesthetics + a good game and this one has both- including their amazing Spotify playlist to go with! Perfect for a date night with your partner or a fun couples night! Highly recommended.

Parlay is fantastic! We are so excited to be one of the first people to get the game. My family loves a good strategy game, and this takes the cake! It’s the perfect length and the pieces are so beautiful. I love how there’s a food pairing and a playlist, so thoughtful. This will be the it game of 2026

I eagerly awaited the release of Parlay and ordered it on Black Friday. I couldn’t wait until Christmas to play—and I'm glad I didn't. Coming from a long line of board game enthusiast, this game raised the stakes fast and quickly became a new family tradition. The deluxe edition is beautifully crafted and worth every penny. We had a small hiccup with some of the pieces, but customer service was incredibly responsive and helpful. This game is perfect mix of strategy, luck, and just enough mischief to help a friend… or deal them a bad hand.

My brother-in-law put himself on the waiting list after one game. Can’t recommend this game enough—Parlay is a sure bet!

This game is so fun!! They do all of the work for you to set up the perfect game night from curating a playlist & cocktail/apps to creating the most beautiful game board & pieces. The instructions were easy to understand & the video was so helpful. I’ve never come across a company that makes game night this elegant & fun!!

Everything about this game is designed with an elegance and craftsmanship that is extremely hard to find. Something so simple as board game, but it creates an experience. Truly thought out design, amazing team, customer service is top notch. I have nothing bad to say and can’t wait to see what else Parlay comes up with!!

Truly, SO fun. The perfect mix between a card game and board game. Simple and elegant, but also strategic and exciting!! It took us a minute to learn the rules, as any new game does, but as soon as we figured it out, we have wanted to play nonstop. I love the design and beauty, and all of the special touches that make it feel like more than just a game - it's an experience. Highly recommend Parlay for your next big game night, or even just to play after dinner with drinks! I'm looking forward to playing again tonight, and many nights to come!!

This was a great game! A family friend introduced us to it and we had a blast playing it after dinner! I had to get my own board after that, definitely a fun twist on group board games and worth playing!

The level of attention that was paid to every detail of the experience of playing this game is INCREDIBLE! As we played this very addicting game two nights in a row, we listened to the playlist created just for the game and we ate the suggested appetizers on the beautiful snack plates provided. It was a full experience! Every aspect of this game is stunningly beautiful! Hand drawn sketches are on the board, plates, playing cards and more and the box that the game is stored in, is exquisite. We LOVED all of the unique game pieces.. my particular favorite being the “bar cart” game piece! :) Every aspect of this game is chef’s kiss! To the creators of this game- well done!!!

Every detail has been thought of with excellence, beauty, and aesthetic. The game is fun for all ages and sizes of groups. They created a well made and easy to understand video supplement tutorial which perfectly encapsulates the experience of playing as well as making the game easy to understand from the beginning. I could not recommend enough and during the next restock I will be buying copies for friends and family (they’ve already asked about them they are so excited to get their hands on a copy)

Parlay, the game, is a great twist on the trick-taking genre of card games! My family has had a lot of fun with it. The theme is very polished and well done and the extra cards added to the game keep it interesting!

The interactions I've had with the company have been great. They are always very polite and professional.

Their customer service was incredible and responded very quickly! The experience of just opening the box was so fun and very detailed. The game itself took about 10 minutes for a group of 7 of us to learn, which I consider a win. Overall we really enjoyed the game and the Parlay team. It was a bit of a gamble for me to order from a company I had never heard of but I'm very glad I did!

My boyfriend and I love board games, and are always on the hunt for new additions, so Parlay immediately caught our attention. The design is classy and feels perfect for casual game nights at home and more elevated gatherings, and the concept is the perfect mix of fun and strategy.

What really stood out was the customer service. They went above and beyond to answer my questions and make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the game before it even arrived. Their level of care and attention to detail made the whole experience better.

It feels like the perfect gift, and we can already tell we’ll be purchasing more for friends and family.

I had my eye on this game as a Christmas gift and wasn’t quick enough to order it before it sold out. I messaged with them and they were able to get me an order out that would get to me by Christmas! I am sooo excited to get this game, and the customer service is amazing! I will definitely be recommending them to friends!
