Very clever idea for a trick taking game which I suspect will be a big hit with card playing physics majors around the world.

@boardgaymergirl Жыл бұрын

This was SO helpful to visualize the differences in 2 player rules and to note the special conditions for bonus points 😁.

Fantastic tutorial, thank you! I'm definitely getting this one, perfect for my family and with the extra twist to keep me interested.

Love this one. Managed to pick up the previous edition in the ~15 minutes it was available on BGG. Of all my weird trick-takers, this is the one that gets people most interested from the one-line pitch. Glad to see the 2p rules

Yeah! We were like “what the heck” when we were told you get to make up whatever suit you want lol.

Frankly more games should have rules that you can preface with "Because of quantum"

Such a clever design! Thank you for this informative tutorial. Can’t wait to to get the game at Essen Spiel.

Love this game. Putting in an order for an extra possibly to give as a gift to a fellow gamer but most likely as a backup in case the first one blows a circuit. Lol

Two months after ordering this game, it finally arrived on Saturday, but man was it worth the wait!! I absolutely love Cat in the Box, I'm sure my friends are sick of me constantly yapping about it, and I'm almost dragging total strangers in of the street, just to get another few games! What about a playthrough you guys? You could get a few of your friends over, invite me(!!!)... I'll fly across the Atlantic for a game, or play a two player game , which I've never seen yet.

Loved the tutorial and went directly to Bezier at Spiel!22. Since I was just in time to get a copy I am replaying your review again. Just a pity that I did not see you both at Spiel! because I really wanted to say Hi.

I can be sure that no player who loves both cats and board games can say no to this game. Especially cat-shaped trays for your player tokens are especially beautiful and cute, which can bring players a pleasant gaming experience.😆

Great tutorial! Question, in a 2 players game, if a player create a paradox and have fewer than 4 tricks, does he gain bonus points?

@Webchain Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the clarifications. There are a few places in the rules where I think they failed to make things clear.

@CG_Hali Жыл бұрын

Wow! Finally a good explanation of 'trick taking'. I'm French and have no clue about this because we do not have a term this specific for it. A trick is only a magic card trick when it comes to cards in French. Only ever heard 'rounds', 'play your card' and such non-specific terms so this was helpful since this term gets thrown around but rarely shown what it actually means. You should definitely add a 'trick taking' tag to your video!

@davesdvd Жыл бұрын

I agree. This is an amazingly clear explanation of both trick taking and how cat-in-the-box adds to it.

@JorWat25 Жыл бұрын

Apparently the words ''pli" and "levée" are used. Not French myself though, so not sure. The French Wikipedia's equivalent page to 'Trick-taking game' is 'Jeu de levées'.

@Keindzjim Жыл бұрын

How do you keep track of the points? Is there a scoring track or scoring tokens?

Did you guys like the game? Would you recommend it for 2 players? Your two player suggestion for Cabo is one of my favorite games now. Thank you for what you do.

@BeforeYouPlay Жыл бұрын

Hi! We don't publish our opinions on sponsored content, so sorry! However, the 2-P game will feel naturally different from higher player counts just due to the nature of trick-taking games in general. Thanks so much for watching and we're glad you are enjoying Cabo!

hello, what happen if I cant place the token to experiment board?, for example if my 5 tokens are placed in player board and my 7 tokens are placed in the experiment board and I need 1 token to play the last trick, for 4 players

@lyssgraham3904 Жыл бұрын

If you make your prediction but none of your tokens on the research board are adjacent to each other do you get one bonus point or no bonus points?

@marcelineleiman4330 Жыл бұрын

To clarify, what happens if you’re ineligible to play yellow and say Naveen leads yellow? Would you cause a paradox instantly or would you be allowed to/forced to play to some other color?

@theSolemnBard Жыл бұрын

You're always allowed to play a different color, at the expense of never playing the lead color again. If you previously said you don't have yellow, then you just still don't have it. You only cause a paradox if none of your *numbers* can be played in colors you're still allowed to use

@BeforeYouPlay Жыл бұрын

Thomas is absolutely right. Please let us know if there are any other questions.

@JorWat25 Жыл бұрын

You treat it like a normal trick-taking game where you've got no cards of a certain colour, you have to play a card from a different colour.

@JorWat25 Жыл бұрын

Small addition to the 2 player rules about the three cards that get revealed to decide the blocked off green numbers: "If a duplicate number is revealed, placed an unused player token on both the green and yellow rows of that number. If all three cards are the same number, place an unused player token on the green, yellow, and blue rows of that number".

This game was simultaneously good _and_ bad until I observed your video. 😼 I first saw this game on Taylor's Trick-Taking Table a while back. I'm excited that it's coming to the US! It really has a lot of twists (quantum entanglements?) to wrap your head around, but your tutorial made it seem manageable. Thanks!

Glad the video helped showcase the game Jon! Should be widely available soon 😀.
