#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:08 - Title Screen 0:27 - Description of the Game 1:37 - Components 3:21 - Final Thoughts 5:04 - Credits Programming note - At 3:06 we stated the cards were not linen finished but after additional review they are. I missed this during the review and wanted to set the record straight. In the card game Xylotar, you’ve found the long lost xylotar schematics from the instrument original designed by Bobby McColdsnap and Keifer Basset. This unique musical device was based on both xylophone and synthesizer technology in the mid 80's. and was created as an alternative to the keytars of the era. Without knowing exactly how it should work, play until you discover the sweetest sounds. The player who scores the most points has found the perfect balance of 80’s synthesizer rock and modern carimba-style melodies. Only then can you mass produce the xylotar, succeeding in your goal of achieving moderate commercial success! In this trick-taking game players know only the colors of their cards and their relative order. Use deduction and observation to figure out the value of your cards, then bid to try to gain extra points. —description from the publisher To watch a few rounds of play through click the link below: https://youtu.be/QKs92U3BDvA?si=s9G-Y51mdxXQgl_g For more information about Xylotar: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/414302/xylotar 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 Bezier Games***

This unique musical device was based on both xylophone and synthesizer technology in the mid-80s and was created as an alternative to the keytars of the era. Without knowing exactly how it should work, play until you discover the sweetest sounds. The player who scores the most points has found the perfect balance of 80s synthesizer rock and modern carimba-style melodies. Only then can you mass produce the xylotar, succeeding in your goal of achieving moderate commercial success! In this trick-taking game, players know only the colors of their cards and their relative order. Use deduction and observation to figure out the value of your cards, then bid to try to gain extra points. -description from the publisher
