Rants And Reviews: You've Got Crabs

Watch “Rants And Reviews: You've Got Crabs,” a board game review for You've Got Crabs from Nerd News Social on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Nerd News Social on YouTube:

With a game titled You've Got Crabs you could probably have guessed that the game style is a little bit off the wall. In this game you'd be correct. The game takes a group of even numbered players, splitting everyone into pairs with each party sitting across from their partner. Each side of the table takes turns during the game, picking up and putting down one card at a time from their hand, until they can't or don't want to. The point being they are attempting to form a collection of four identical crabs in their hand. Once a player has accomplished their goal, they will give their silent signal to their teammate on the other side of the table, telling them to call them out for having crabs. If they succeed, the players get to grab crabs as points. However, if another team picks up on the signal, they can call out the player before his ally, and thereby steal a point away from them. It's an incredibly simple game, but it's tons of fun. Who doesn't want to accuse their friends of having crabs?

About You've Got Crabs, from BoardGameGeek:

Form teams of two players each (max of 5 teams). Each team meets privately to come up with a non vocal signal to indicate when either teammate collects 4 of the same Crab Card. Each player will get a hand of 4 cards. One side plays at a time. On a side's turn, all players on that side can simultaneously swap any card from their hand with a card from the middle of the table (The Ocean). When you have 4 of the same Crab Card, you can't say anything out loud. Instead, when you're ready, give your secret signal to your teammate. When they notice, they will point at you and shout, 'YOU'VE GOT CRABS!' If they're right, your team gets a point. If they're wrong, your team loses a point. However if a player on another team suspects you're passing a signal, they can point and shout, 'YOU'VE GOT CRABS!' If they are correct, they steal one of your points. If they are incorrect, steal a Crab Token from the accusing player. The game is over when the last Crab Token has been taken from the Crab Pot. At that point, all teams should count up their combined Crab Tokens. The team with the most Crab Tokens wins. The game is a reimplementation of the classic card game Kemps, but with a different card distribution and breaking up the card swap phase by team.
