Watch “Katzenjammer Blues, Cat Blues Board Game, Reiner Knizia,” a board game review for Cat Blues from Board Games With B7 on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Board Games With B7 on YouTube:

Hey board game fans, welcome back to another episode! I'm starting to share hidden gem board games from my collection, so be sure to subscribe and give a thumbs-up if you enjoyed the video! I’d also love to hear your thoughts on today’s board game. In this video, I cover the board game, Cat Blues, originally known as Katzenjammer Blues. This is a card game crafted by the esteemed game designer Reiner Knizia, featuring stunning illustrations by Franz Vohwinkel. Originally published by Goldsieber Spiele in 1998, it quickly gained popularity, with Rio Grande Games releasing the English version the same year. A Japanese edition followed in 2013, and a Korean version was released by OPEN'N PLAY in 2019. This game accomadates 2-6 players, typically takes around 30 minutes to play, and is for ages 10 and over. I also included a 4-minute tutorial. I highlight the changes between the original and the new reimplemented version Cat Blues: The Big Gig as well. Enjoy the episode! ⬇️ My other Social Media ⬇️ 😸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/boardgameswithb7 My BGG Reviews: https://boardgamegeek.com/threads/user/871700?forumname=reviews&parenttype=boardgame&sort=recent Threads: https://www.threads.net/@boardgameswithb7 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554340049607&mibextid=ZbWKwL Background Music: Music provided by Chillhop Music https://chillhop.ffm.to/creatorcred #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamegeek #boardgaming #boardgamer #boardgamenight #catblues #KatzenjammerBlues #ReinerKnizia #FranzVohwinkel

About Cat Blues, from BoardGameGeek:

Cat Blues, first released as Katzenjammer Blues, is an unusual hybrid of rummy and auction rules, with a couple of strange ideas thrown in about the game ending once 20 points total have been scored, with a 5-point penalty for most jokers. It's a quick, cutthroat card game, colorfully decorated with cartoony blues-band cats and mice.
