Jason’s Board Game Diagnostics of Platypus

Watch “Jason’s Board Game Diagnostics of Platypus,” a board game review for Platypus on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

#JasonReviews #BoardgameMechanics #Platypus 0:00 - Intro 0:08 - Title Screen 0:26 - Description of the Game 1:11 - Gameplay Overview 7:36 - Final Thoughts 10:29 - Credits Acid? Dangerous? Annoying? A car saleswoman! Edible? Quick? Flexible? Captain America — or an ostrich? In Platypus, players co-operate to gradually eliminate bad words in order to find and identify the "platypus" through their adjective cards. To set up, eight common words or proper names — the "platypus" cards — are placed face up in front of all the players. The guides know the card that the explorers must guess, and to help the explorers, they give clues in the form of adjective cards that best define the platypus for them. Each guide has a hand of four clue cards, and after each new clue, the explorers must eliminate one or two cards that they think don't match what's being defined by the clues. If the explorers eliminate the platypus, then everyone loses; if they succeed four times, however, then the platypus will stand alone and everyone wins. —description from the publisher For more information about Platypus: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/322739/platypus To check out a little bit of everything that we do visit our website at: https://www.bgmechanics.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theboardgamechanics Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boardgamemechanics Tweet at us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bgmechs If you would be interested in having us review/preview a game, or just want to chat, shoot us an email at: contact@bgmechanics.com

About Platypus, from BoardGameGeek:

Acid? Dangerous? Annoying? A car saleswoman! Edible? Quick? Flexible? Captain America - or an ostrich? In Platypus, players co-operate to gradually eliminate bad words in order to find and identify the "platypus" through their adjective cards. To set up, eight common words or proper names - the "platypus" cards - are placed face up in front of all the players. The guides know the card that the explorers must guess, and to help the explorers, they give clues in the form of adjective cards that best define the platypus for them. Each guide has a hand of four clue cards, and after each new clue, the explorers must eliminate one or two cards that they think don't match what's being defined by the clues. If the explorers eliminate the platypus, then everyone loses; if they succeed four times, however, then the platypus will stand alone and everyone wins.
