    I like that there is a drafting phase in this game, lots of strategy going on!

      For sure. :) I guess it can be played with a smaller 32 card deck too. 7-Ace in each suit.

    A good clear description, Thankyou. I used to play this at school fifty years ago, but had forgotten the rules.

    I enjoyed the video. I especially enjoyed your insight that when the second phase begins, you really could know each card in your oppenent's hand. I hadn't thought of that. One detail: At 2:30 I am not sure that the 2 of spades would be the best spade to get rid of, knowing you will lose the trick. The 9 of spades might be a better option, since you might want to keep the 2 for later when trying not to win an undesirable card showing on the stock. But -- like I said -- that's just a detail. Thanks again for the informative video!

      You are very welcome! Thank you for watching. I’m guessing my thought process was that the 9 might catch me a trick later on… but that is probably not the case! Thank you for the tip.

    You did a good job explaining and demonstrating the game. Another video left out certain details. Thank you for the video!

    to clarify, the trump from the very first deal remains the trump throughout the entire round?

    I haven't heard of this version before but sounds like a fun one. I'll have to try it with the kids when we go camping next weekend.

    This is such a simple but intricate game! I will of course annoy my family into playing a match of this, since the rules are very simple to explain :P

    This game is mentioned in quite of few classic books. It's been around a long time.

    Might not fit 100% with the oktoberfest theme, but here in northern germany Doppelkopf is usually the trick taking game of choice. So you could make a video tutorial on that.
    Although... I personally never had a fun experience when playing the game.

    • @riffleshuffleandroll
      @riffleshuffleandroll  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Doppelkopf is coming to the channel soon. I’ve played it as well, and I am not sure how I feel about it yet. Do you play Skat?

    For me it's lightweight California Jack. Pretty nice. Thanks Mark.

    • @riffleshuffleandroll
      @riffleshuffleandroll  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! For sure. California Jack has more going on. That’s a good way to put it. 😊

    Which deck of Bicycle cards is that, I really like them? Thanks for the video.

    Nice game. We only had to rewind twice to get it. I'll subscribe. Can you play with 4 and use 2 decks?

    • @riffleshuffleandroll
      @riffleshuffleandroll  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for subscribing! I think a double deck game with four players would be fun to try! Very challenging though. Have you tried Classic Whist, Bid Whist, or Sueca?

    My friend! Thanks for the video, i see you still respond to questions here, PLEASE HELP! what happens when you both play aces in stage 2 of the game but neither are trump, me and my partner were playing, both got 6 tricks and last hand was Ac and Ah but Spades were trump, what happens here?

    • @riffleshuffleandroll
      @riffleshuffleandroll  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is a great question! For both phases of the game, whoever plays the highest card in the lead suit or the highest trump card wins the trick. In your case, the ace that led the trick wins it because the other ace did not follow suit and it was not trump.

    What deck is this? Thanks for the video!

    • @riffleshuffleandroll
      @riffleshuffleandroll  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is the Bicycle Autumn deck. It is a few years old now, but you might still be able to find it on Amazon.

    What happens if you both play the same card but nether one is the trump?

    • @riffleshuffleandroll
      @riffleshuffleandroll  ปีที่แล้ว

      The lead suit wins the trick. If both players play the same suit, the higher rank wins.

    I know this is an instructional video, but that's just terrible playing...player 2 cannot lose this game...after the QC is beaten by 8H...player 2 plays the AS KS and then JS and wins 2/3...they are now up 3-1...player 1 is going to try to use their big trump advantage and leads with 2H which is won by P2's 9H...up 4-1...P2 then throws KD to try to snag a 5th, is trumped and then plays A K Q of hearts and wins 7-6...

    I wonder if there's tarot whist games

    • @riffleshuffleandroll
      @riffleshuffleandroll  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am sure there are! I have not looked into that. German Whist with a French tarot deck could be interesting...

      In this video, I play Ace is high. I think that is how it is usually played. ☺️
