Description
Red Seven is an interesting mix between Scrabble and Bridge: tiles show a letter (with its value, as in Scrabble) and the symbol of a poker card suit. As in Bridge, we find two partnerships against each other: in the auction, the partners should propose a contract, i.e. a suit and a number of "tricks" they plan to take. The "trick", in effect, is made by confrontation between the value of the word you place on the board (as in Scrabble) and the one of the previous player: so, any word is considered in 2 "tricks" (the one with the previous and the one with the following player). The suit proposed by the winner of the auction is the "trump" for the round: once played, the tiles with this suit on will receive a bonus in points.
The game is played in 3 rounds: any player receive a random set of tiles per round. At the end of any round, the teams score victory points according to the contract made at the beginning of the round.

Quotes (from this video)
- Awards can set our expectations so high for the game that the game can really do nothing but disappoint us in the end
- while Game Awards don't influencing my purchasing choices they do influence what is available for me to purchase
- The actual winners are the board game fans
- Awards provide at the very best a good footnote a marker in time or just a good jumping-off point for discussion and exploration
- Awards matter for the reasons that others have highlighted and as you've mentioned they inspire discussion they put games in our mind that might not otherwise have gotten there but perhaps the most valuable thing they do is they force us to consider why do we like the games we do

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- changing rules — There's like a rule card in the middle, and at the end of your turn, you always have to win according to that rule card or you're out.
- Player Elimination — If you can't play a new rule card or cards to the table, and if you can't do that, you're out of the round.

Quotes (from this video)
- Flip 7 is a very silly push a lot game, but it just works.
- It's the only game where I don't teach the rules before we start playing. I just steal a card and say, "Do you want another one? There is 12, 11, 10. You don't want the same one." Boom. Oh, you're out. Haha. You lose.
- But flip seven is just it's even less. Flip seven is just like the perfect breakdown game.
- When it was at its best, Time Stories is one of the most fantastic storytelling vehicles in a board game ever.
- When it was at its worst, it was very bad.
- Dominion is the deck building game. It's like the OG deck building.
- Gloom Heaven we actually finished still one of my favorite experiences in a game ever.
- Basically everything I didn't like Frost Haven has just made better.
- It's a card game. It's a push your luck kind of game.
- So, you're always trying to trick your opponent into trying they can have have a color to themselves or trying to wait as long as possible to see if those good cards come up or just like doing whatever and see what happens.

Quotes (from this video)
- My biggest let down is the rules for uh Transgalactica.
- I think it's fun that a game can be the biggest disappointment and number one in the same month.
- It's an old school Euro. Like it's high interaction, very low on the rules overhead, but a lot of interesting choices.
- I still am unbeaten in Shipyard, which I think I I just have to stop playing it now because at some time I will not I will not win.

Quotes (from this video)
- I just love that resource progression.
- It the resource progression feels to me like that you start with a wheel then you get cards then you get uh spaceships right?
- The game is just way too heavy. It is insane.
- It's like a rock paper scissors. I'm building my ship this way to count to your ship. Then you should build your ship another way.
- Yeah. Because they are so heavy, right? They do take such an investment you want to like uh go through, but people were saying that that Colution was was awesome.
- I think the moral of this stream is we can call anything a Civ game if you try hard enough.
