Watch “Unboxing and Rules Skim through Seas of strife - Rio Grande Games,” a board game unboxing for Seas of Strife from Thatboardgamelife on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Thatboardgamelife on YouTube:

Join me for an unboxing and rules skim-through Seas of strife, kindly gifted by Rio Grande Games [Ad] Please note that after filming this, I realised that my copy was missing the main rulebook, so my skim through is of the variant rules sheet. The original rules are available online and are simple to follow. I love the artwork on this! Full review coming to my Instagram @thatboardgamelife

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!
