I Didn’t Like Trick-Taking Until These Two Games

Watch “I Didn’t Like Trick-Taking Until These Two Games,” a board game review for Bottle Imp from Board Game Journey on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Board Game Journey on YouTube:

Trick-taking is one of those board game genres that people either love or completely bounce off of. For a long time, I was firmly in the “this is not for me” camp. In this video, I share the two trick-taking games that finally changed my mind: 7 Prophecies and The Bottle Imp. Both of these games approach trick-taking in very different ways, but each one adds just enough twist, tension, and clever design to make the genre click for me in a way it never had before. If you have ever felt like trick-taking was not for you, this video might be the one that changes your mind. Let me know in the comments what trick-taking game won you over, or if you are still not convinced. 📧 Business Inquiries: boardgamejourney25@gmail.com 0:00 Intro 0:27 Game 1 6:52 Game 2 12:31 Ending

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
