I've aquired Kung Fu along with a bunch of other games, with very low expectations. It was very cheap & it sounded like a fun game. I especially liked the fact that it was a party game for up to 8 players (max). And the fact that it was a trading game, with some condoned cheating!
I've brought the game out in a group of 8, expecting CHAOS!!! Since the idea of the game is, that everyone tries to complete one of the three combinations which are in the middle of the table. And if you don't have the right cards, the only way to get them is by trading. And the trading is bound to very little rules. A loud voice & some elbow grease should do the trick.
Alas, I found out that playing Kung Fu with 8 people was less chaos then expected. There always seemed to be someone with the right combination of cards, yelling "KUNG FU!" and pausing the game. The trading part got snowed under a bit. But we had fun, and since it's a quick game, we liked it. But it wasn't a very special experience and if I'm gonna play it a second time, I'm gonna play it with 4 or 5 people. Hoping there will be more trading & more chaos.
All in all it's a reasonable game, nothing fancy. Just some quick fun.
