It was fun to play… players secretly select their priority order of the 5 different actions you can take and it causes a bit of intentional fun chaos. Totally great for a game night.

Kovray invited us to share our favorite trick-taking game for this massive video, but @danshoehsu.bsky.social and @chrispyha.bsky.social couldn't agree. So they kindly let us do two separate clips, so we wouldn't have to sit next to or interact with each other.

The challenge here is teaching players how to play drastically different games yet, the same game. This to me is a game for a group that loves playing the same games a lot. This will minimize downtime and help with setup and tear down.

Not sure, I can attest that is a very enjoyable game. Very light weight in terms of complexity and would make a great gateway game for this style of play. The beauty is there is an epic mode where you can combine two copies of the game for a giant map to battle on it so desired.
