If their last card is suited, they win! You might win at the same time, creating the only tie condition in Crabs in a Bucket. If they have no suited cards, its as if they played a "0". You can get rid of any suited card and they'll have to draw! 🦀✨️

Thanks, Lincoln! In Crabs in a Bucket, you can match higher or lower. Only during an ascending run must you continue to discard higher. Hope this helps!

I'm guessing so. You just keep going until you run into a joker.

The effect only repeats so long as you have at least one relevant card to discard :) Thanks for playing! 🦀✨️

That's correct! In competitive play it's always good to keep an Ace up your sleeve... 😉

Also, shuffling the lobster back in. Doesn't mention it on the rules sheet OR EVEN ON THE CARD!

Hey David! Thank you for your criticism, your interest in the game, and above all, your support towards our very first title! We'll take your feedback into consideration as we prepare for the next print, in which we will update our rulebook 🦀Hope this video has been handy! Until then (and even afterward), we'll ensure that it doesn't go anywhere! We'll now answer your questions (both here and in your other comment) in order of appearance...🦀 1. Q: Does the game stop when you run out of cards in the deck? A: Nope! Play continues. Traditionally we have resumed play by setting aside the top card on the Discard Pile and the top card on the Joker Pile and shuffling all of the remaining discarded Joker and Suited cards together to form a new deck. Play then resumes by returning the set-aside Suited card to the Discard Pile and the set-aside Joker Crab to the Joker Pile. We'll consider making this the official standard in the next print! 2. Q: Can you usurp the Penalizer role by matching the previous Penalizer's card? A: Yes! This is both possible and encouraged in competitive play. The ultimate counter to a domineering opponent! 🦀 3. Q: Do you shuffle The Lobster back into the deck after it's discarded? A: Yup! We'll make this more clear in a future print. We hope this clears things up! Thanks again for playing Crabs in a Bucket! ✨

Thanks for your response, and sorry if I was a bit harsh! When you have a revised instruction sheet it would be good if you could make it available as a PDF that we could download and print so that I can pop it into the box for handy reference.

@@davidmccolm8782 No worries! You're only helping us get better as game creators! 🦀 We'd be happy to do that come the next print!

So glad this has been helpful and thank you so much for your support! 🦀 Be sure to pass this along to any other crabfriends who are figuring out the game for the first time! :)
