My SO and I just played this game for about 2.5 straight. Very fun! At the end we added the "dummy" third player and it added quite a bit too the game.
@@Sweet.Maria. Yes the bigger version is super fun! I've played it a couple times and really enjoyed it. I've been meaning to get a copy and make a video. It's basically the same game, just with a wider variety of card types so every round is more unique.
@@GamePointTabletop That’s awesome! You should totally get a copy and do a review! I love board games! We have a place called Sweets and Geeks in my town where you can just play random games to see if you like them. Anyway, I will be looking forward to your next review! ☺️
Thx for doing this video! Yesterday I tried to figure out this game w my mom & we couldn't from the instructions alone. Excited to play this today when I go spend time w my parents for Labor Day ( :
Thanks. We've left this game sitting around after a couple of attempts. The rules included were pretty clear, but your explanation really tied it together and made the game playable.
😊 depending on how old your kids are, if they have a hard time learning the game, I'd recommend sorting out the deck to just teach them half the card types at first, then add in new types every time you play until they know them all.
I think the next game you should teach is Monopoly Cheaters addition because its fun but the rules are sometimes hard to understand, btw me and my family wanted to play with game but we could not understand the rules so i went on youtube, saw your video and watched and had soo much fun playing it after I watched ur video Thank you soo much!
Interesting. I wonder if there are different editions of the rulebook that have changed this rule? My copy and the one I found online say you do split the points.
Thank you so much for the help. I will say however you said multiple times that this game is easy, I disagree. I think this game is difficult because of the scoring but it is fun.
Thanks for adding! Mind if I copy this into the description so it formally breaks the video into chapters? This video was posted before RU-vid had that feature
May I know how do we count points in cases where say only three out of four players have pudding? Do we deduct marks from the one who has the least puddings or the one who has none?
At the end of the round, chopsticks are useless dead weight worth no points. So use them early or they go to waste! Someone will end the round with them and you want to hope that isn't you
@@GamePointTabletop I figured it out by now but once I did I realized how super easy it is and how funny it was that it was so hard to understand at first. Fun game :) thanks
I've actually only played that once, years ago. I do remember it being fun though! And I know a friend of mine has it, so I may have to break it out soon and give it a play.
It makes a ton more sense once you've done it once, but it is probably the most confusing part of this game so you're not alone. I'll try to give an example with numbers. See if this helps. The hands going around the table always need to have the same number of cards as each other so that they'll run out at the same time. So imagine you play chopsticks when all the hands have 6 cards each. Now all the hands have 5 cards and they pass around the table. You get a hand with 2 Sashimi in it, and you've already played one earlier. So you really want to play both of those sashimi to finish your set of 3. With chopsticks, you can do that! You'll hold out one of the sashimi face-down and reveal it when everyone's ready. Now everyone has a hand of 4 cards. But before you pass the rest of that hand to the next player, you pick up the chopsticks that you had played earlier and put them back in that hand, and take out the second sashimi in their place. So, in one turn that hand lost 2 cards (both sashimi) but it also gained the chopsticks that you picked back up. And now it has 4 cards in it just like the rest of the hands at the table, and you pass it along. Eventually, someone gets stuck with the chopsticks card and has to play it at the end of the round when they won't get a chance to pick it back up because the round is ending. That's sad because they have to play a card worth no points.
