Hello everybody. My name is Ilya.
My name is Tyler. Together we make up Colbrey, a couple that loves to play board games.
And today we'll be teaching you how to play Super Chonk.
Super Chonk is a two to six player game designed by Ben Jones and published by Pink Games who have sponsored this video.
Let's go to the table and let's learn how to play. As always, you'll begin by setting up. Place all the kibble tokens in the bag. Each player will then choose a color and take the matching player mat and the deck of four cards. You'll place your stroll card face up next to the discard space of your player mat. The remaining three cards will remain in your hand. Next, you'll shuffle the bowls and create a stack based on your player count. You'll reveal and place a set number of bowls based on your player count in the center of the play area. The bowls must be within reach of all players and at least one card length apart. Finally, you'll fill all the bowls with kibble, drawing seven kibble tokens for each bowl on the table and placing them as so. You're now ready to play. In Super Chonk, you'll take a role of a hungry kitty trying to eat as much kibble as possible. Each round, you'll secretly choose a card and race to one of the bowls with lower numbers getting there first, but higher numbers letting you eat more. If you choose the same number as another kitty though, you'll bonk heads and miss out entirely. As bowls are emptied, you'll claim them for even more points, but there is a catch.
Before scoring, you'll throw up your biggest stack of kibble. So, you want to eat plenty, spread out your flavors, and hopefully end the game as the chonkiest cat at the table. Now, let's dive into the details. Super Chonk is played in rounds. Each round, you'll prepare, eat, and then reset. Let's kick things off with prepare. Here, all players will secretly select a card and place the other two face down on your discard pile. You'll then mentally select a bowl and say meow once you're ready. Once all players have meowed, you'll do a countdown and simultaneously place your card by your selected bowl. You can say 3 2 1 go or better yet, meow meow meow meow.
Next is the eat phase. You'll resolve each bowl simultaneously. If any players play the same number at the same bowl, they bonk heads. You'll flip these cards face down and each player with a bonked head will take a random kibble token from the bag. None of the bonked head kitties will eat from the bowl this round. If your kitty doesn't bonk heads, you'll eat kibble. Whoever has the lowest numbered face-up card at the bowl eats first. You'll take kibble tokens equal to your speed. You continue to do this until all players have taken their kibble. If there's more than one card at a bowl, it is considered crowded. So, any players who played one, two, or three will take one additional kibble token from the bowl. If the bowl is empty when it comes to your turn, you're out of luck.
Additionally, when the bowl is empty, it can be licked for the last ounce of food. The player who played the highest numbered card at this bowl will take the bowl into their own supply. Once all bowls have been resolved, it's time for the rest phase. You'll place the kibble tokens on your player mat in stacks by type. Pick up the three cards in your discard pile and place the card you just played face up in the discard space next to your player mat. If any bowls were taken, replace them from the stack of bowls. Then, fill any new bowls with seven random kibble tokens. Do not refill the partially empty bowls. If the bowl stack or kibble bag runs out, continue to play with less until the game end is triggered. You're now ready for the next round.
You'll keep playing over numerous rounds until the game ends, which happens when all the bowls have been claimed. At the end of the round when this has occurred, each cat will first throw up. Before scoring, you'll discard your tallest stack of kibble tokens into the bag, as well as any matching bowls. If the stacks are of equal height, choose one to discard. Then, you'll count the value of your remaining kibble tokens and bowls. Each kibble token and bowl has a value equal to the number of icons shown, ranging from one to three. The player with the highest total value of all eaten kibble wins the game. Their cat has claimed the title of Super Chonk. If tied, the player with the least bowls is the winner. And if still tied, you'll share the victory and must play again to determine who indeed is the chonkiest.
You can also play with two players. In a two-player game, the zoom card will not be used. You'll only play with the two, three, and four cards. You'll put eight bowls in the bowl supply and put out three bowls face up in a line between the two players, filling them with kibble as usual. With two players, you'll play two cards simultaneously to two different bowls. To do this, you'll secretly select a card you will not play and place it face down on the table. Then, mentally select a bowl for each of the cards remaining in your hand. Execute the meow down simultaneously with the other player as you place your cards face up next to the chosen bowls. You'll resolve each of the bowls as you did in a three-to-six player game, and at the end of the round, collect the three cards back into your hand. No cards will remain on the table as you'll always have a full choice of three to use. The game ends as soon as there's only one or fewer bowls remaining to eat from. When that happens, move straight to scoring. And, unlike the regular game, you won't throw up any kibble in a two-player game. However, instead of comparing your total score, you're competing to win the most flavors. For each of the five flavors, you'll add up the value of all the kibble you ate in that flavor, including both kibble tokens and bowls. Whoever has the higher value wins the flavor. If you're tied, that flavor is a draw, and neither player will win it. Once you've compared all five flavors, whoever won the most flavors wins the game and is declared
Superchump. Lastly, once you're familiar with the game, you can try the advanced mode with the chaos cards. At the end of the setup, shuffle the chaos cards and choose one to play with. These change up the rules of the game. If you want even more chaos, you can also play with two chaos cards at once. And that's Superchump. Do you have any questions?
