Watch “How to Play Ducks and Geese, by James Ernest,” a how-to-play guide for Vines from James Ernest on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by James Ernest on YouTube:

James Ernest of Crab Fragment Labs explains the rules for Ducks and Geese, the first game designed for the Vines Deck. Ducks and Geese is a Euchre-like trick-taking game for two teams of two players. The goal is to take the most points, and points include the seven tricks as well as the Ducks (Deuces) and Geese (Farmers). Vines is a collection of more than 20 original card games from Crab Fragment Labs. You can print your own rules and cards from our free PDFs, or buy the professionally-made deck from our friends at DriveThruCards.

About Vines, from BoardGameGeek:

Vines is a suite of more than 20 original games and variants with a unique 5-suited deck. This suite of games has been more than five years in the making, and we are thrilled to finally bring you the finished deck with custom artwork! The Vines deck has 55 cards in five suits, with stunning artwork by Cheyenne Wright, and the usual meticulous attention to detail and unnecessary backstory that you have come to expect from Crab Fragment Labs. Games played with the Vines deck include Coralon, Thief, Ducks and Geese, Bishop, Baronet, Chevalier, Up and Down, and Farmer's Market. The Postas deck is a forerunner of the same deck, used for a different family of games: Prima Carta, Holdout, and Lobo. The decks are sort of interchangeable, being 55-card five-suited decks, but each is better matched to its own set of games.
