Absolutely amazing video!!! More trick-taking in 2023!✨💫😎💙 Also, teaching this during the Learn and Play was wild!! Also, the meaning for a trick was found by my friend Rob: The now obsolete meaning of trick was actually a hand of cards: "Many a deale I haue lost, the mores your shame, you haue seru'd me a bad tricke" (Heywood, 1607). It became more closely associated with trick taking when it was used to describe the rules for Piquet and Whist in English: "A Trick, is as many cards as is won at one laying downe either at the game of Whisk or Picket" (Holme, 1688).

The term bid might mean something different to me than it does to you, so let me put it this way: you are not required to play a high value into a trick. If you have a lower value you'd rather play, you can. So if you had a card that could win the trick, but you want to play a lower card that would lose you the trick (forcing someone else to win it), then you can. As long as you follow all the other required rules of playing into a trick (of course).

I found a potential issue with the two player rules, and I'm not sure if it is intentional or not: When you flip over three cards out of the five you put in the middle, you can only end the game with a paradox. This is true because the board will be totally filled when one player has two cards and one player has one card. You would never meet the requirement of ending a game with all players having one card, therefore one player will always have negative points at the end of the round. My fix for this is to only flip two cards over, so the game can resolve with one card in each player's hand. If there is an explanation for why they suggested three cards flipped over, please let me know.

So if you create a paradox, you always earn zero points right? Because your earn X points, one for each trick earned, and then lose -X points, one for each trick also. And you don't score extra points for prediction because of the paradox. This means zero points for that round, right?

let me see if I get it right: Red colour can only be chosen when someone "brakes Trump", but by doing that it loses all the access to the other colours? then once Trump is broken any starter player can lead with read, which means there is no sense in chosing another colour because you will lose that round....seems to me like the red colour strategy is pretty influencial at the long term...

I'm not sure you quite have it. You said "but by doing that (breaking trump) it loses all the access to the other colours". You don't lose access to *all* the other colors, just the one color you're saying you were out of in order to play Trump. Let's say someone leads Green, and I declare I don't have green. Now I can play any color, including trump, so I play Trump. I'm not saying I don't have "ANY" other color, I'm saying I don't have green, so now I can't play green from now on. Hope that helps!

A strange game, Professor. It seems the only way to win is not to tell anyone whether or not you played.

Note that you CANNOT lead with red as long as you can legally lead with anything else (unless red trump has been broken, in which case you can).

Kristo, this has been the source of some discussion. The way it is explained in this video is what the publisher confirmed. That said, I can also see why others are unsure of this based on the wording in the rule book. I wish I could say I was certain one way or the other, but when in doubt, I take the direction I've received from the publisher - and that is what is presented here. If you would like to discuss it further, I'd suggest posting in the thread here: boardgamegeek.com/thread/3020794/leading-red-if-you-cannot-declare-any-other-color

I tend to avoid giving personalized recommendations. What I like, someone else might not - but hopefully you see a few games on here that might be what you are looking for and that suit your particular tastes!
