Watch “Bottle Imp | Trick Taking Card Game with a twist | Günter Cornett | How to Play, Unboxing and Review,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Fun With Boxes on YouTube:

Welcome to Fun with Boxes, Episode 172: Bottle Imp Designed by Günter Cornett and published by Matagot Games. A classic Trick Taking game returns in a stunning new edition, adding team modes and a 5 to 6 player variant to this wonderful game that also plays 2-4 players. Whilst winning tricks you may want the help of cursed imp in the bottle - but you have to be careful - it is cursed after all. So you will need to get rid of it, if you have it, before the end of the game. Players try to win tricks and score points - but the player with the Bottle Imp at the end of a round will not score their tricks - instead they will score negative points based on what has been placed by all the players under the Hell Card. A truly wonderful game that you will want to replay time and time again. I hope you enjoy taking a look at this with me.

About Bottle Imp, from BoardGameGeek:

A classic of the trick taking-games makes its return! Bottle Imp is back in a new edition, adding team modes and a 5 to 6 player variant to the usual 2 to 4 players configuration of the title. In this game inspired by the eponymous novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, all players around the table want to acquire the cursed bottle that can grant all wishes... However, they need to get rid of it before the end! Score points by trying to take as many tricks as possible, but make sure to not finish the game with the bottle, or the Bottle Imp will take your points! This new edition features 54 foil effect cards and two bottles, with art by Maxime Morin (Faraway, Codex Naturalis, Next station Tokyo, Next station London...) -description from the publisher
