King of 12 Review - with Tom Vasel

[@WuerfelundZucker]

You missed a rule that makes the game even more tricky. Even if at the end of a round two people have the same amount of POINTS they cancel each other out and the one with the second highest points wins the round. So you could even try to do a „kingmaker move“ when you are in the back but by that finally winning yourself. With five people it happens too often that cards get cancelled out. That’s why it’s limited to four only. And yes the sweet spot is 3-4. Btw. there is a cooperative Version of that game coming up soon! Last but not least it is not a Lucky Duck Production they just did the English Licensing. Greetings!

Thank you so much! 🤗

Wow we synced up so well, my review video mentioned the same points! 2 player i felt lost some of the aspects of scores getting "cancelled". 4 player however for me is pretty chaotic so I wouldn't want to play it 5 player. But 3 player was definitely the sweet spot.

I disagree; the art on the cards is amazing, with a refreshing minimalistic look to them.

[@RulebooksForYou]

I agree!

[@CocoDrawsGames]

I think Tom was reacting more to the graphic design. I agree with you that the art is amazing and I like the white background, but I also agree with Tom that they could have made the text (the important part of the card) bigger or more prominent. My guess is they didn't get a graphic designer and had the illustrator do the graphic design and the illustrator went with the simplest possible solution because he didn't know what else to do.

What is the opposite side of Approved, though?

[@pikkdogs]

Kind of reminds me of my favorite Euro, Havana. We would enjoy this one.

Ah, I like when Welcome to the Dungeon gets mentioned, it's such a fun and light-hearted game! Really great to be played with someone who pushes their luck to the very limit and beyond. I call them 'players with balls of steel' 😂

Odds of Tom ripping up the machine card?

[@danielengel4593]

Love Letter on steroids, which was also best with 3 imho. The cards could look better or more interesting and I guess after some playthroughs people would eventually memorize the powers, so they do not have to ruin their eyesight. Some odd design choices were made.

[@nezukoshop]

I bet you could play the game up to 8 players with 2 copies of game. But it will be chaotic LOL.

[@danielengel4593]

You can.

[@oldfriendsneverleave]

The graphic design is really a downside. Illustrations are great, but it lacks symbols that you can easy see and recognise. And yes, the text is too small.

Nice micro game.
