#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:07 - Title Screen 0:26 - Description of the Game 1:43 - Components 2:48 - Final Thoughts 4:57 - Credits Five Cucumbers is a trick-taking game with the goal of NOT winning the last trick! It's not easy. You have two choices on your turn: Take over a trick by playing a equal or higher card or you must play your lowest card. It is not enough to keep a low card in your hand for the last trick as you will also need some high cards for taking over key tricks. The player who wins the final (seventh) trick screwed up and must take cucumbers. Each player collects their cucumbers at the end of a round, and if a player has more than five cucumbers, he is out of the game; five cucumbers is the most you can have! In this way more and more players are excluded from the game until the final two are playing for victory! Five Cucumbers is a modern variant of the trick-taking game Cucumber (Agurk, Gurka), which is well-known primarily in Scandinavia. We are excited to bring you our new version! —description from the publisher To watch a few rounds of play through click the link below: https://youtu.be/cgFQJQCz2sM For more information about Five Cucumbers: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/147768/five-cucumbers 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 ***Review copy provided by Rio Grande Games***
