Watch “Looking at Trick-Taking From a New Purspective | Cat in the Box,” a board game review for Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Roll For Crit on YouTube:
Cat in the Box takes a different take on the normal trick-taking mechanic. Unlike most games, all your cards are just back cards. You only find out what suit (color) the cards are when you play them for a trick. Play your cards right, and you will be able to score tons of points! But if you are not careful, you might cause a paradox!

About Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition, from BoardGameGeek:
Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition is the quintessential quantum trick-taking card game for 2 - 5 cool cats, where your card's color isn't defined until you play it! Hypothesize how many tricks you will win, and record your bid. Place tokens on the community research board as you play your hand, and connect large groups of tokens to score even more points. Plan your tricks carefully as you cannot claim the color of a card with the same number that has already been declared. Doing so would be pawsitively catastrophic as you have just created a paradox!
New Deluxe Edition features:
Supports 2-5 players
High quality geekbits-style plastic tokens
Recessed player boards
Recessed Center Research board
Score pad
And a custom plastic insert to keep Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition tidy!
