You've Got Crabs is the new party game from the creators of Exploding Kittens. Find more info at youvegotcrabs.... Narration by: Jeff Probst / jeffprobst
The real strategy: Your signal is doing nothing. You and your partner spend the entire game scratching, rolling your eyes, closing your hands etc. and the moment you do nothing, that's your signal
If it feels like cheating, it's probably cheating. My brother: "Oh I dIdN'T kNoW iT wAs ChEaTiNg" Edit: Oh god thanks for the likes this is the most I've gotten
for double crabs, use a false signal and count to three in your hands, so that your friend can see, and after the countdown, both of you scream YOU'VE GOT CRABS
So I think I see how things works, we have two sets of interactions for the accusations, the crab pot interaction, done if the team is accusing themselves, and the swap interaction, done by two members of different teams accusing the other, with each having two interactions, their being both an incorrect, and correct option, with the crab pot interaction having the powerful double crabs rule, the crab pot interaction is the extremes and reguire the two to remember their crabs signs, cause if you both get it correct, then getting triple crabs is amazing, but you could lose a crab to a crab pot, while the swap interactions are more in between, being all about manipulation, you can get the good one thanks to false signs but don’t be predictable.
I wish I could play this but I don't have enough friends.. Well, I do, but I have no clue on how to get us to do it anywhere else but school (Which we might not be allowed) and don't even know if they'd like the game.
i never thought i would see the day that jeff probst, the host of one of the most influential reality tv shows in history, would teach me how to play a game called “you’ve got crabs”
Big brain stat: create a fake signal, to confuse your opponents. they will say “You’ve got crabs!” But you actually don’t, then they will give you a point.
I def plan on buying this and Exploding Kittens. My only real question is how would partners accuse each other of having Crabs if only one side of the table plays at a time?
Couldn’t you just wait and have a signal to show your partner that yes, you have crabs but don’t say I have crabs yet, and then your partner could do the same thing and once you both have crabs both partners can do a signal to finally say you have crabs and then you would end up getting more crab tokens, please somebody answer this question, is it cheating or not?
Any one else notice that they’re taking old card games and reworking them? You’ve Got Crabs is Kemp Exploding Kittens is Russian Roulette Throw Throw Burrito is Spoons Im sure their other games match with other old card games too. It’s kinda interesting but at least EK and TTB add extra features outright. This game is literally flat out just Kemp with a reworked deck unless you buy the expansion.
So my respect for you guys has dropped immensely as this is basically just Gemsch. You can play it with a regular deck of cards, and you're taking this game and passing it off as your own.
In kemps your signal is less limited. So yes. You could yell "u got crab" (Which is of course a sex joke that your 12 year old mind probably didn't get) and still be playing the game.
Daniel Příbrský well this was made by the people who made exploding kittens, so its almost defiantly better that with regular cards, also "you've got crabs"
This is how my best friend and I always win we make super subtle secret signs and when i have crabs she waits until i make the fake secret signal to say you've got crabs
