Quotes (from this video)
  • There's no definitive best board game convention they just can't be because it really depends on what you want
  • so what may at first seem like a straightforward logic puzzle decorum is also a game about communication and compromise
  • but i think true genius can very often shine not only shine but can very often shine through the simplest of games
  • The elegance and genius of design they're just the inspiration of a party game that works
  • The real challenge isn't just solving the problem with the limited information you and your players have it's dealing with the frustrations that will inevitably occur when your partner does something that messes up your plan
  • i felt the same way with some heavier war games that i've been wanting to get into more and more and more it's just finding people to actually play those games with who are willing to put in the effort to learn them
  • there is a crucial time i feel like to play a game that excitement period between learning about the game getting the game and it's sitting on the shelf there is a window there where you are still excited about the game and it's not just become something that's sitting on your shelf

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Hand Management — Players have a hand of nine cards and can play as many cards as they have that work together in a set. If a player cannot do anything, they must pass.
  • Pattern Building — The core of the game involves creating sets based on matching shapes and colors.
  • Set Collection — Players play cards to the table in sequences of shapes or colors that group towards a 'quirkle' (a card with a different color and a different shape). Sets must be three or more cards of the same shape with different colors, or the same color with different shapes.
  • Tableau Building — Cards are played to the table, and players can rearrange them as long as the final layout is valid. Completed sets are scored and removed.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Area Majority — The banquet table will show whether these different suits are going to be in positive values or negative values. If at the end of the game there are more cards below it then every card that each player has collected of that type will be worth negative points but if the above the banquet table outweighs the negative points then they're going to be worth positive points.
  • Card Drafting — Each turn you have three cards at your disposal, you're going to have to play one of them in front of you, you're going to have to play one of them in front of an opponent and the other one is going to have to go on this banquet table.
  • commodity speculation — The values of the suits of cards that you're collecting is going to either be worth positive points or negative points based on what the other players do.
  • Hidden Information — Spy cards that could be played face down which kind of spices up the banquet table a little bit.
  • Immunity — Shield cards that cannot be attacked by other players.
  • Set Collection — Set collection style game where the values of the suits of cards that you're collecting is going to either be worth positive points or negative points.
  • Take That — Assassin cards that can eliminate cards from other other players or even from yourself.
  • variable scoring — Noble cards that will have double value.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Unfortunately, the tension is completely eradicated from the game when comparing it to a game like no thanks.
  • I love it visually I think the artwork is really nice it has this kind of like uh Golden Age Disney fil vibe to it with these nice um gilded cards.
  • Ultimately it boiled down to that card crafting system being a bit of a gimmick I think rather than an actual unique mechanism.
  • This feels like this was the intended game and Cascadera was built after it rather than the other way around.
  • For me if you played cascadero and not cascadeo I'd definitely recommend looking at cascadeo.
