    Thanks for the explanation! Makes it easier to decide whether I want to buy the game for my family or not when I know all about ahead of time.

  • @standingonthepromises285

    That's definitely not 4 rows of three
    It's 3 rows of four or 4 columns of 3

    So strategically, you can make your cards all be the same number, vertically

    0:43 not the highest number starts(!), but the sum of the two starting numbers is the highest

    Great video. If you choose a card from the discard pile for your turn, can you replace a card in your line up that has already been turned over with a higher number?

    I believe there's a third option on your turn to replace a card already revealed/overturned with the one drawn. Also, is you have 3 of the same negative cards in a column, must you discard the column then?

    • @BowersGameCorner
      @BowersGameCorner  Před 2 lety

      I just talk about playing the card and then in the examples replace face down cards. I should have specified. Also the rules don’t say anything about the negative scenario. I assume they would go away the ways the rules are written 🤷‍♂️

    I have recently purchased the game but was confused with the rules as they were not explicit and confused with a lot of ifs and its. Your video helped me out except one thing. Who starts the new round? The person who was the first to open all their cards on their layout? Or who was the last to do a turn?

    • @BowersGameCorner
      @BowersGameCorner  Před rokem

      Sorry, I don't have the game anymore.

    • @nfamily1563
      @nfamily1563 Před rokem

      It actually says in the rules that the person who ended the previous game (so the one who turned over their last card first and ended the game) gets to start the next round and go first.

  • @michaelfries1443
    @michaelfries1443 Před 2 lety +2

    I was under the impression that for subsequent rounds you still flip over two cards but just that it does not decide who goes first

    Hi
    we are enjoying the game!
    But we ran into a problem :) what if you get to the bottom of the deck? We are 6-7 players and happend to run into this a lot and can’t decide if the game ends or you mix the deck again and flip it
    Edit: we run out of Card before one of us turn all their card

  • @maria-elenalaflam4685

    When someone forgets to pick up a card when their turn ends, you van call it out by announcing to the person, „You forgot to pick up a card“ and the person would now have to continue playing with only 3 cards, if they forgot again on their next turn, you can call it again, and now the person would only had two cards to choose from in their hand. By the same token if someone forgets to pick a card at the end of their turn, but no one notices, that person can quietly replenish their hand (to 4 cards) even if is not their turn. This makes the game a lot of fun.

  • @Butterflies2Souls
    @Butterflies2Souls Před 2 lety +2

    Thanks for the video! Can't find anything about the subsequent rounds though.. I know the player to reveal all their cards gets to start the next game but do we still reveal 2 cards at the start or no? Thanks!

    • @matthewkeating8701

      In the rules, in indicates two separate parts of the game:
      1) PREPARING A ROUND
      2) THE START OF A GAME ROUND
      The last sentence of Preparing A Game Round indicates that “each player reveals two of his playing cards at will” so I believe we are meant to flip two cards at the beginning of EVERY round. It is only in the FIRST round where the highest total starts the round. Every subsequent round is started by the finisher of the previous round.
      Happy to hear your thoughts if you believe we are reading this wrong.

  • @BethKay-dz8gq
    @BethKay-dz8gq Před rokem

    So when you pick from the draw pile, do you have an option between that card and an unknown card or do you have to decide before you flip it if you want the draw card or if it’s going to be the unknown card that is going to be a for sure commitment

  • @tgm6365
    @tgm6365 Před rokem +1

    So when you have 1 card left before you go out do you play it the same or do you have to take the last card and exchange it with the drawn card?

  • @joseph41289
    @joseph41289 Před rokem

    When you take a card and replace it with one of your 12 cards can you used that card and replace it with another card

  • @noahjames6633
    @noahjames6633 Před měsícem

    What would you do if your score is in the negatives? Let’s say I have negative 2 and another player ends with negative 4. Then I no longer have the lowest score

    • @bencetimon
      @bencetimon Před měsícem

      lowest wins! -4 is less, than -2

    During a round, my opponent has three vertical cards alike, and they discard them. May I pick up one of these cards?

      It's my understanding that the 3 matching vertical cards are discarded from the entire game.

    Hi
    Thanks for the run through.
    I've been playing it for a while now, and once in a while we're at a point where a player with just one card left DON'T want to close the game until they decrease their total card value. So my question is: if my highest card on the table is a 12 and I draw a 12, would it be okay for me to replace a 12 with a twelve as to not add to my total? The rules doesn't mention it, and yesterday we just decided it was okay. What do you guys think?

    • @BowersGameCorner
      @BowersGameCorner  Před rokem +2

      No problemo.if the rules don’t mention it you gotta house rule it, so I’d say 👍

  • @MentalUnrest
    @MentalUnrest Před 8 měsíci +2

    Someone taught me this game with a normal deck of cards. Which leads to my question - why would anyone pay for this when it’s just a basic deck of cards with a different design?

    • @tkgregory3
      @tkgregory3 Před 7 měsíci +2

      It can still be done. Normal decks won’t have negative numbers though, and that’s a fun twist to the game.

    • @sandanders
      @sandanders Před 7 měsíci +4

      Because it’s not just a basic deck of cards with a different design. The skyjo deck has 160 cards with 15 different numbers.
