    Trick taking games are my absolute favorite. I just found you over in BGG, and now I've subscribed. I've seen a handful of your videos so far, but none of the games are available. I've had Nikosu Dice in my list forever! I was about to give up on it. My favorite is played with a regular deck. It's a variant of Barbu, called Trix. For mainstream, we love Skull King, VooDoo Prince, Texas Showdown and I've been trying to get Indulgence to the table. I know I'll love that one.

      Hey Stacie!! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I feel bad for so many of these games being hard to get, so I'm trying to donmore giveaways and possibly a month on games you can play with a standard deck.
      But your list is amazing!! I'll have to try Trix. That's new to me and sounds like so much fun!
      Thanks again for reaching out!

    My favourite trick taker at the moment is The Crew because I have never really grokked all of the elements and this is doing a great job of teaching me the trics (ha!) of the trade. I'm sure I will branch out when my kung fu training is completed.

    @kyleb8117 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Haven't played enough trick-takers (sadly) to know for sure my favorite, but my favorite that's using a standard deck of cards is called Trix (or Trex) and I love it so much. The hook for it is: there's five contracts and each player (as dealer) has to pick each of them once by the end of the game, in any order they like, and each contract is a different type of game with the last one being a weird (but fun) game of building up/down from Jacks of each suit. (The other ones are things like trying to not take the King of Hearts or trying to avoid Diamonds.) There's also a lot of variant rules for it. Really fun 4-player trick-taking game.
    This game looks really interesting. I like the idea of making players not only consider trying to avoid a curse, but also having ways to negate the drawbacks they gained and get it on another player. Having lowest in suit mean something is cool. Seems really fun. The art is stellar, too.
    Edit: I can't words.

    • @ClaudeAndTaylor
      @ClaudeAndTaylor  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Woahhh, I've never heard of Trix! Thanks for the heads up! I've heard of variants like Couffier Jass and Mizerka, but Trix sounds like it has some rad ones!

    • @kyleb8117
      @kyleb8117 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I might've been just imagining it, maybe it's just fun to have agency, but it felt like you could make interesting decisions on when you do the last shedding contract or pick when to do ones you usually fail at or feel confident in. It's also kinda cool as you get towards the end and know which ones are left.
