The Gang - 6-player Teaching, Play-through, & Roundtable Discussion by Heavy Cardboard

[@andyeberly4135]

I realized my kids didn’t know how to play poker. I taught them and they didn’t like it at all. I then taught them this game and they loved it! Would never have made the purchase without having watched this stream. Thank you!

[@j0ana1978]

So good. And so interesring to watch you play...

[@njshaw2]

Great to watch this. I've played the game at 3 (too easy) and 4 (pretty good), so 6 was fascinating to watch. Makes me think it would be fascinating to watch a HC stream of an actual proper game of poker...

[@jerrywang696]

For three players, just play two hands each. You each play your two hands independently, but with the benefit of knowing both. It's easier than standard six player, but it solves the problem of three player being too easy.

[@sethchapman1425]

Still making me buy games Edward good job.

[@griff98199]

I'm pretty skeptical after the teach that I would find this interesting, but I've been surprised before - GG

[@griff98199]

Yeah, I think I'm out, but it did look like y'all had fun

[@sethchapman1425]

So wondering has Edward found Balatro video game yet? This game looks interesting and as a poker lover will be looking for it.

[@grantfraser5430]

Nope, going with first instincts. I don't see this as a game that would interest me. Mostly I'm not particularly interested in cooperative games. Love poker but the theme doesn't appeal to me unless there's a variant that allows bluffing. I do have a couple of poker friends who also play board games so I will suggest it purely based on Edward's recommendation.

It‘s like $14. So either way not an expensive thing to try

[@grantfraser5430]

@@ilqrd.6608 That's actually a good selling point. I think it just went back on my radar for filler games. Thanks for mentioning that.

[@goininXIV]

who would have thought that this of all games would be cautioned against by susd and highly recommended by hc within a few days?

[@thamesandkosmosgamesuk]

It got the SUSD Recommends award!

[@goininXIV]

@@thamesandkosmosgamesuk true, but primarily for introducing it to non-gamers. They were fairly sceptical when it comes to heavy gamers iirc.

[@sethchapman1425]

Spoiler: Watching when Edward had A8 I just knew we( since we are playing with Edward) were 2 or 1 .

In the first game round 3 you played the asistant wrong and had given to much information. One player activates the asistant without any disgussion and tells the tabble one of his cards. . And be not so hard on Paul: I played a game wher i had the card talked about in the first and told "I have a Queen". This player had a Jack high and took, wit the 2 and 3 chip, still in the game the 3 from me who was the only player without a chip. And he even diquesed that it was in relation to other players wher first only i matter because of the information.

[@grahamers]

The guy who keeps talking about how he can’t help peeling cards is annoyingly full of himself. Audio needs a ton of work.

[@kylemeighan1143]

Just my opinion, obviously, but when you guys were communicating rules as written this game looked kind of fun, but when you played in silence I found it boring as hell.
