Thanks for the play through... I have video suggestion for these type of card games... have a camera on Dave's cards, so we can play along with him and get more out of the watch through. On Dave's turn you can show his cards to the camera, while he makes a decision. It would give us a better feel for the game/strategy/struggles/fun. Thanks for the game!

I had the same thought. May be a little tricky in terms of the tech (and annoying for editing) , but in a hidden information game like this, it would really be nice to know what one of the players is holding so we get a better feel for why our "featured player" is groaning and cheering when a card emerges. Sometimes a really useful card is played and the player rushes to scout, but they don't scout + show, and may wait 3 turns to reveal why they were so excited. By that point, you've forgotten the moment when they grabbed that key card. Makes it hard to track the clever plans and strategies people are deploying--or when they abandon Plan A for a new Plan B. Still, this was a really fun video.

Gosh that Nick Murphy guy sure is handsome!

Woot SDJ nominee content - and a wild Murph has appeared! Love Dave’s honesty on being great at shuffling but struggling when sleeved. I really enjoy watching the video closely for the first 20 minutes then I’ll often cook or do gardening while mostly just listening as these are so good for getting the “feel” of an actual play. Thanks BGG 👍

This game is so good! The fact that comes in the oink games size box is just an additional bonus!

I wish the box was a tad bigger.

Love this series that you guys have, can't wait to binge on more episodes

That was one of the clearest teach I have seen in a while. Well done!

I came here because of @thebrothersmurph's recommendation of Scout, didn't expect to see Nick at the table!

I've gotten to play this a couple times and I love it. I love old classic card games like Spades or Cribbage. This is basically just one step higher in complexity with the double sided cards but it's very simple and clever at the same time.

Thanks for the video, well-explained, straight, clear and cheerful 😊

Thankfully, the Oink collection of games on the Switch eShop released Scout in their game menu. Got the game for only $5 and it was a steeeeeeeeal. This game is so much fun. I don't win much in the Oink games because either the computer is super cut throat, or I'm just terrible at Oink games in general lol. Thanks for the upload. Watching this play physically makes me want the game a second time

I've never watched your show before, and I found Nick delightful

Thank you all for this playthrough! It was fun and useful to learning the game and seeing how it plays. From this I think I like the game and will try playing it on BGA.

Super excited to see this one played! Been interested in it. Also, it took me a good 20 seconds to figure out what Daves hand was doing holding up the box. Haha.

Well that looks like a great game and portable. I''ll be on the lookout for it when it comes back in stock. Thanks for sharing. Dave, get some aloe 😀

I love that you sleeved the cards :D also, this is an amazing game

This is an interesting trick taking game. It almost seems like someone should have come up with this concept before...either beat the hand or take away a card, which makes the hand weaker for the next players. So simple, but such a great concept.

Gotta say, the Gamegenic ads interest me and are short and well done, not breaking the flow.

I like whist/president type card games - this looks good

Played it with my game group and it went over really well. It's weird though, this is a reprint but the original Scout-game never got the attention and play that the Oink-version has received.

This looks like a fun easy game.

i love this game

Random question, that I don't think anyone mentioned: Isn't the choice of shapes on the point chits as well as the names/items on cards make it easier for those with issues with readability?

Have you tried the app? It's pretty fun. I just wish there were more players online because it is much more fun to play against other people than against the computer.

This game looks great. These playthroughs cost me a fortune as I often find myself wanting to buy them afterwards. Just waiting for it to become available in the UK There's no talk about the theme though. Not sure how this links in with the big top artwork?

@jeremybraisher1418

Жыл бұрын

The theme is supposed to be you are "scouting" potential members of your circus and each card is a member, one number is their rating on one event while flipping is their rating on another event. For example - Kenneth may be a 6 on the unicycle but he could be a 9 on the trapeze so that card is a 6 one way and a 9 the other. When they are played and you scout a card you are recruiting that member to your show so you could scout that 9 and make a great straight that makes your show unbeatable. The theme is very thin but doesn't take away from the fun of this game at all. We've almost worn our copy out because we are against sleeving trick taking games.

I wasn't expecting to see a tiny box. lol

Are those sleeved, or laminated? The cards look perfectly centered in each one, I’d have second thoughts about sleeving a game where you flip the cards back-and-forth so much.

When hearing the how to play, I was a little hesitant on it as there is no arranging. Aft watching, actually seems interesting though it kinda depends on luck sometimes

Based on watching this video, I feel like it should (like dominos), add cards same no on both ends (maybe put a double stripe to indicate it is same no.)

I think Scout is absolutely amazing, but i may be biased haha

We used Gamegenic - Prime Sleeves (Standard American).

I played this at a local con a few weeks ago. While I can see the appeal, it felt more luck-based than I like. If someone got a strong opening hand, they could go out in just a few turns, which happened about half the time.

I think that they went through all of their copies quickly, especially once it was nominated. It's not even available in Japan. I did see the original edition is available on Amazon.co.jp for $16 plus shipping, which is cheaper than the Oink Games version. I've ordered stuff from there many times and the stuff gets to the US pretty quickly. The one really nice thing about the original version is the cards are very nice plastic but seem like they might scratch from lots of use. Thanks for the note and for watching-Lincoln

In the rulebook there is no rule about 2x 2s are stronger than 2x1s. Only more cards can win the trick. Update: only in text but no illustration with this situation 😀

Are you aloud to scout if there is only one card in the middle I thought you couldn’t

It could be that if the numbers were on both corners the player could switch the order by fanning either way throughout the round. Either by accident or intentionally. Great show!

I know there are a lot of differences in gameplay and mechanics .... but Scout does at least remind me of Linko (Abluxxen). For those that have played both Scout and Linko (Abluxxen) .... - Do you see a similar feel between the two ? - Do you prefer one over the other ? - Do you still think they are different enough to have both in one's collection ?

My suggestion is you make it nice & clear who scored what each round & what the running scores are. Enjoyed the video otherwise.

There seems to be an inbuilt design flaw in this game. The fact that most people play cards sitting opposite each other makes it too easy to mistake which number on the card is the side "up" and in play each round. It would be easier to play this game with all players sitting on one side of the table, looking at the cards the same way up. Apart from that, it looks like fun.
