I love how the scoring has that incentive to have a huge last minute score. It's like a ticket to ride final scoring built in! Bug Council of Backyardia has a similar 'loser of trick does mancala' mechanic. Mit list und tucke has a nice double system. Shamans has a nice off suit bonus. So many cool ones!
@@jameystegmaier yes, it is a creative outlet for me. I've been working on this game for 2 1/2 years and it is just now interesting enough for my grandsons to have played it! But still some tweaking to do and trial plays by testers. With the next step after that, be presenting it to a publisher like yourself? Or putting it on Kickstarter?
@@EmbodiedIFS That's up to you! Here are some article/videos series that might help: stonemaiergames.com/kickstarter/how-to-design-a-tabletop-game/ stonemaiergames.com/kickstarter/full-list-chronological/ This article in particular is a good starting point for that decision: stonemaiergames.com/self-publishing-vs-working-with-a-publisher-ks-lesson-275/
@@jameystegmaier thank you for the links! I see. I wasn't entirely sure if Kickstarter is primarily for self-publishing or just for getting your creation known and funded for a prototype. Again, thanks for all the information you share.

Thanks for those other recommendations!
Thank you for this series on favorite mechanisms. I'm designing a game right now and it is so helpful to watch your videos.
Thanks Alexandra! I hope you're enjoying the design process. :)

@@EmbodiedIFS That's a good point. I'd say it's almost solely for self-publishing (or for publishers).
Thanks for sharing! How did you come across this game? It seems it is difficult to find a place to buy this game currently in the USA.
A friend loves these types of games--I think he learns about many of them through the TH-cam channel Taylor's Trick Taking Table.
