Description provided by The Boardgame Mechanics on YouTube:

#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:09 - Title Screen 0:27 - Description of the Game 1:38 - Components 3:13 - Final Thoughts 5:02 - Credits In the trick-taking game Seas of Strife, formerly Texas Showdown, originally published as Strife, you want to avoid taking tricks as skillfully as you can, but playing off-suit might not keep you safe as the suit can change during the trick, possibly stinging you in the end. Before play, all the cards are distributed evenly among the players. Once a player leads a single card for the first trick, all other players must play a card of the same suit, if possible. If a player can't play on suit, they can play a card of any color — but after they do this, all subsequent players can play a card of either matching color (or possibly a third color if they have neither of the first two). Once all players have played to the trick, you see which color has been played most frequently in the trick. Whoever played the highest card of this color wins the trick. If two or more colors are tied, then the highest card counts as the winner. You play several rounds until someone reaches the target number of tricks taken. At that point, whoever has captured the fewest tricks wins! —description from the publisher To watch a few rounds of play through click the link below: https://youtu.be/vSNrWcE14Vs For more information about Seas of Strife: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/225482/seas-of-strife 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***

About Seas of Strife, from BoardGameGeek:

In the trick-taking game Seas of Strife, formerly Texas Showdown, originally published as Strife, you want to avoid taking tricks as skillfully as you can, but playing off-suit might not keep you safe as the suit can change during the trick, possibly stinging you in the end. Before play, all the cards are distributed evenly among the players. Once a player leads a single card for the first trick, all other players must play a card of the same suit, if possible. If a player can't play on suit, they can play a card of any color - but after they do this, all subsequent players can play a card of either matching color (or possibly a third color if they have neither of the first two). Once all players have played to the trick, you see which color has been played most frequently in the trick. Whoever played the highest card of this color wins the trick. If two or more colors are tied, then the highest card counts as the winner. You play several rounds until someone reaches the target number of tricks taken. At that point, whoever has captured the fewest tricks wins!
