Tricks and Trumps: Best modern trick-taking games, Tabletop Bellhop Gaming Podcast Episode 290

YouTube

I’m still enamored with #tricktakinggames. There are so many great ones, from regional classics to more modern publications.

Tomorrow, I’ll be introducing some friends to a pair of modern classics: Nokosu Dice (2016) by Yusuke Matsumoto, and Boast or Nothing (2017) by Yeon-Min Jung.

My best friends were recently in Japan and got me this adorable trick taker as a gift. Very on-brand what with me having two black cats. Each suit is the cat playing with a different toy, each card having unique art. It’s quite fun too!

It is the golden age of American railways. Rail stocks are all the rage, with new companies flooding the stock market all the time. The stakes are high, but you want to have a slice of the pie. The returns look great and investors get a say on a company’s track-laying.

The Six of VIII (Saturday Review) - Tabletop Games Blog

Passions flamed and power waned. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. First Catherine of Aragon, who had the most time to establish loyal supporters and powerful allies, then Anne Boleyn, queen for less than a year. They were followed by Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Katherine Parr. These were The Six of VIII by Carol LaGrow from New Mill Industries.

Like Cain and Abel (Saturday Review) - Tabletop Games Blog

As the first two sons of Adam and Eve, a lot of responsibility had been laid upon our shoulders. We were a farmer and a shepherd who had to offer our harvested grains and livestock to God. We were never sure if either of us was in His favour. So we carried on and made wilder and wilder boasts about our gifts to Our Lord until it was too much and one of us struck down the other. We were Like Cain and Abel by J.L. Reid from Bent Pin.
