Quotes (from this video)
- The player who played the second highest card in the lead suit wins the trick.
- You're trying to sting the other players with bees.
- If you collect the same valued bee, same color, same value, you get eliminated by going into anaphylaxis shock.
- This is the meanest trick taking game I've ever played.
- The market adds a lot of unique and interesting aspects to this game because of the way that everybody else can see it.
- The hierarchy gets really difficult to follow like there's so many different combinations that occur.
- The first phase is actually trick taking for cards. And the cards that you win, you'll be playing the second phase in a card shedding phase.
- The way that this game works is you'll shuffle those two decks together.
- I find it chaotically pleasing.
- I think that experience along with the trick taking is very unique.
