Watch “Unboxing Court A Royally Clever Card Game from B5 Productions,” a board game unboxing for Court from Tabletop Bellhop on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Tabletop Bellhop on YouTube:

Check out what you get in the trick-taking card game Court from B5 Productions, hot off the Kickstarter presses. This is a three to five player traditional style card game featuring only three suits, tableau building aspects, golf scoring and the most perfect information I've seen in a card game. If you dig our content be sure to subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/tabletopbellhop?sub_confirmation=1 and consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopbellhop Disclosure: Thanks to B5 Productions for sending us a review copy of this card game. No other compensation was provided. ******************** Index: 00:00 INTRO 01:06 OPENING UP COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME 05:28 INITIAL THOUGHTS ON COURT 06:39 CLOSING AND WHERE TO FIND MORE ******************** From the publisher: Court is a game meant to bring gamers and non-gamers together it has enough complexity to keep hobby gamers interested but is simple enough for your friends and family who havent played anything other then traditional card games. The deck consists of 3 suits numbered 1-10 and a Royalty card of each suit. Each player starts with a hand of cards, they take turns playing a card into the "trick", the highest card played wins the trick and a crown worth -2 points at the end of the round but in Court the lowest card played in the trick gets to trigger its card power. Winning tricks is powerful but sometimes you want to come in last to trigger that special power just at the right moment to swing the game. You have to watch out for the powerful royalty cards though, when played they not only win the trick but also get to use their power. ******************** Pick up your own copy of Court through Gamefound: https://gamefound.com/projects/b5-productions/court#/section/project-overview Head over to the Tabletop Bellhop blog where you'll find more tabletop gaming content, including gaming and game night advice, reviews, and more: https://tabletopbellhop.com Find us all over the web: Mastodon: https://dice.camp/@tabletopbellhop Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabletopbellhop Twitter: https://twitter.com/tabletopbellhop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabletopbellhop Twitch: https://twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop Discord: https://discord.tabletopbellhop.com

About Court, from BoardGameGeek:

Court is a trick taking game with a twist. If you like classic trick taking games like Spades, Euchre or Hearts, you will love the extra strategy in Court which includes special card powers, varying objectives and set collection. Each player has a hand of cards, they take turns playing a card into the "trick" like traditional trick taking games highest card played wins the trick and a crown worth -2 points at the end of the game but in Court the lowest card played in the trick gets to trigger its card power. Winning tricks is powerful but sometimes you want to come in last to trigger that special power just at the right moment to swing the game. You have to watch out for the powerful character cards though, when played they not only win the trick but also get to use their power. After a trick is completed the winner gets to distribute the cards played to the "Court" in front of each player, the court serves two purposes, first the cards in each players court at the end of the hand is the players score for the round. Second after scoring each player picks up the cards in their court and that is their hand for the next round. There is also random special objectives in play rewarding players with negative points for getting specific card combinations in their court. The game is played over 3 rounds. At the end of three rounds the player with the lowest score wins.
