Great game for a Board Gems. I have heard of Klunker, but didn’t really know anything about it. I do have a copy of that 7-player Bohnanza, so it might be worth a try!
Bohnanza is good because, among other reasons, it teaches an actual real world valuable skill - negotiation. Attentive players can actually learn what it means to be in an advantageous position and how to leverage it. The downside to Bohnanza and other strongly player-balanced games (Modern Art, Zoo Vadis) is that basically every instance of the we games that I've ever played has been thrown (or made random) by an inattentive or less-caring player. As a result, these types of games have largely fallen out of my personal taste in favor of ones that provide a little more individual impact over the one's personal outcome. I would still try Klunker, though!
Yes, but with caveats. They're not for everyone. Actually I tried once before to cover El Caballero, but had technical problems and after two attempts at recording I gave up on it. I'll return to it (and cover Kaigan) someday.

I see your somewhat familiar with trick taking games per your shelf :P. Any chance you'd do a video on a few of your favorites?
If they’re old enough, you bet!
