So busy, so busy. I'll have to put off my next "how to play, etc" video, and instead take the opportunity to chat about my two favourite trick-taking games.
Oh Hell — which I actually have never played! — is an exact-bid trick-taker using a standard French-suited deck of cards. These two games add special cards to this excellent formula:
— Wizard adds special cards that (basically) guarantee to win or lose a trick
— Skull King adds more special cards, including ones that score points for catching other cards in the trick, and tweaks other things like making bids simultaneous for maximum casualness and chaos!
Both are classic, both are great.
(Hmm, seems I gave away the ending there.)

We review Re:MATCH, an asymmetrical 1v1 fighting game with marbles! You try to reduce your opponent’s credits to 0 first! In this arcade-styled MATCH3 game by Brother Ming Games, you will take a set of connected marbles on your turn to launch an attack! There are 3 colors of marbles for 3 colors of attack for each player. But every time you take marbles, you can set up your opponent accidentally! We cover 6 different variable player powers in this box, with more on the way! How does this Marble Puzzle compare to other direct conflict card and board games? The marbles in this kickstarter are not just a gimmick, but perhaps aren’t for everyone…
