    Very clever idea for a trick taking game which I suspect will be a big hit with card playing physics majors around the world.

    This was SO helpful to visualize the differences in 2 player rules and to note the special conditions for bonus points 😁.

    Love this one. Managed to pick up the previous edition in the ~15 minutes it was available on BGG. Of all my weird trick-takers, this is the one that gets people most interested from the one-line pitch. Glad to see the 2p rules

    Two months after ordering this game, it finally arrived on Saturday, but man was it worth the wait!! I absolutely love Cat in the Box, I'm sure my friends are sick of me constantly yapping about it, and I'm almost dragging total strangers in of the street, just to get another few games!
    What about a playthrough you guys? You could get a few of your friends over, invite me(!!!)... I'll fly across the Atlantic for a game, or play a two player game , which I've never seen yet.

    I can be sure that no player who loves both cats and board games can say no to this game. Especially cat-shaped trays for your player tokens are especially beautiful and cute, which can bring players a pleasant gaming experience.😆

    If you make your prediction but none of your tokens on the research board are adjacent to each other do you get one bonus point or no bonus points?

      Hi! We don't publish our opinions on sponsored content, so sorry! However, the 2-P game will feel naturally different from higher player counts just due to the nature of trick-taking games in general. Thanks so much for watching and we're glad you are enjoying Cabo!

    Wow! Finally a good explanation of 'trick taking'. I'm French and have no clue about this because we do not have a term this specific for it. A trick is only a magic card trick when it comes to cards in French. Only ever heard 'rounds', 'play your card' and such non-specific terms so this was helpful since this term gets thrown around but rarely shown what it actually means. You should definitely add a 'trick taking' tag to your video!

    • @davesdvd
      @davesdvd ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree. This is an amazingly clear explanation of both trick taking and how cat-in-the-box adds to it.

    • @JorWat25
      @JorWat25 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Apparently the words ''pli" and "levée" are used. Not French myself though, so not sure. The French Wikipedia's equivalent page to 'Trick-taking game' is 'Jeu de levées'.

    Do you still discard a card in 2 players?

  • @marcelineleiman4330
    @marcelineleiman4330 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    To clarify, what happens if you’re ineligible to play yellow and say Naveen leads yellow? Would you cause a paradox instantly or would you be allowed to/forced to play to some other color?

    • @theSolemnBard
      @theSolemnBard 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're always allowed to play a different color, at the expense of never playing the lead color again. If you previously said you don't have yellow, then you just still don't have it. You only cause a paradox if none of your *numbers* can be played in colors you're still allowed to use

    • @BeforeYouPlay
      @BeforeYouPlay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thomas is absolutely right. Please let us know if there are any other questions.

    • @JorWat25
      @JorWat25 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You treat it like a normal trick-taking game where you've got no cards of a certain colour, you have to play a card from a different colour.

  • @JorWat25
    @JorWat25 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Small addition to the 2 player rules about the three cards that get revealed to decide the blocked off green numbers: "If a duplicate number is revealed, placed an unused player token on both the green and yellow rows of that number. If all three cards are the same number, place an unused player token on the green, yellow, and blue rows of that number".

    This game was simultaneously good _and_ bad until I observed your video. 😼
    I first saw this game on Taylor's Trick-Taking Table a while back. I'm excited that it's coming to the US! It really has a lot of twists (quantum entanglements?) to wrap your head around, but your tutorial made it seem manageable. Thanks!
