Watch “XYLOTAR UNHINGED (expansion) review,” a board game review for Xylotar: Unhinged from Board Game Gumbo (Board Game Gumbo) on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Board Game Gumbo (Board Game Gumbo) on YouTube:

Trick-taking games are all the rage. And designers keep coming up with new and interesting twists, so we keep playing them! In this follow up to the awesomely 80s themed trick-taker from Chris Wray, XYLOTAR UNHINGED introduces two expansions, which can be added separately or combined together for all the "epic 80s ballad feels." In Bonus Beats, players will get unique power cards that can help them break the rules, while in Off-Key Cards, players get half-valued cards to keep other players guessing. ** A complimentary copy was provided by the publisher. ** Laissez les bon temps rouler! Board Game Gumbo plays your games every TUESDAY on TWITCH! twitch.tv/boardgamegumbo @boardgamegumbo on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, and Instagram

About Xylotar: Unhinged, from BoardGameGeek:

Discover the epic conclusion to the tragic tale of 80s musician and polar bear, Bobby McColdsnap, as he resurfaces for one final return rock tour across the North Pole. "His music has been dubbed 'Arctic Wave' which stirs up nostalgic memories of an 80s mix tape fed through a Panasonic boombox with its bass turned all the way up to avalanche!" -J. Howard Jones, UnKut Magazine Xylotar Unhinged is the expansion to the 2024 trick taking deduction card game, Xylotar. Unhinged introduces two expansions, which can be added separately or combined together for all the epic 80s ballad feels. Bonus Beats: Add dynamic flair and a unique style to your playing with bonus beats. Bonus Beats gives each player unique power cards which can be played only once through the game, but can those power chords be enough to push your performance to the top? Off-Key Cards: The core of Arctic Wave is its unhinged style mixing nostalgic melodies with raw & rapid improvisation - an explosive cocktail of rage, angst, longing, and nothing but authentic emotion. Off-Key cards inject fluffy furry fuzziness into the deduction gameplay with half-valued cards keeping musicians on their toes... or paws... -description from the publisher
