Your first couple minutes - so true! Thank you for the discussion.

In another yellow box rules also says "Important: For each card that is thrown at you, you must draw 1 card from the penalty pile. Do not put the cards thrown at you in your hand; just set them aside". Probably you also miss that

[@boardgamegeek]

Nope, we have followed that rule. As I noted in the video, once a player draws cards, you can't be sure that a previously safe gap is still safe. Additionally, I demonstrated drawing from the deck as I explained gameplay. -WEM

Tetsuo!

I won't use the word "broken" but I will never play this with 3 again since there were several rounds when no Cabanga's occurred (so the first player went out first). This makes for a REALLY slow and boring game.

[@boardgamegeek]

No, that's not broken at all, just uninteresting...although I would think that would make for a FAST and boring game, not a slow one. -WEM

@@boardgamegeek When the main mechanic of the game rarely happens, trust me, it feels like it wasn't playtested sufficiently. The end game condition is reaching 18 points. When one player goes out during a round and the others have 1 card left in their hand, the points accumulate SLOWLY.
