SCOUT - GameNight! Se10 Ep8 - How to Play and Playthrough

[@edwurtle]

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!

[@dcnole]

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.

[@jessehopson8867]

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

[@Sir_I.I_William]

I wish the box was a tad bigger.

[@AhJong0]

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 👍

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Gosh that Nick Murphy guy sure is handsome!

[@DrMcFly28]

Just wait till you see his brother

[@33studiosgames71]

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

[@raphboisxxx]

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

[@mattlatham1305]

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

[@jameskirk4692]

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.

[@MystLgnd]

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

[@randomjunk1977]

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.

[@gvdwatt]

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

[@branboom3342]

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

[@WetWhoops]

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.

[@msmilder25]

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.

[@alexbiersner3350]

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

[@darrengrabe4179]

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 😀

[@elqord.1118]

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

[@rappscallion3238]

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.

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

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

[@BWells5152]

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.

[@Lankysi]

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]

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.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

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

[@skitch76cd]

And they’re working. It’s making me want to go shop their site 😊

[@BoardGameDave]

Taylor!! Nice to see you here!! (I just ordered Scout today, believe it or not! Can't wait to show it to my family at Thanksgiving!) 🎪

[@nellgwenn]

This looks like a fun easy game.

[@jonathanagnew]

Dave is the best

[@sylwester_bugiel]

i love this game

[@CinemAdsvideo]

Sold out When will they have more?

[@pixxelwizzard]

"I didn't get a 'harumph!' outta that guy." r/unexpectedblazingsaddles XD Really enjoyed this. Y'all have great chemistry and I love how Dave teaches a game. Can't wait to play my copy!

[@yugiwinninglex]

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

[@Subangelis]

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

[@MrJusticeCold]

@BoardGameGeek Hi! Can I check what brand and size card sleeves were used for your Scout set?

[@boardgamegeek]

We used Gamegenic - Prime Sleeves (Standard American).

[@MindOfGenius]

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?

[@TemujinReads]

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.

[@davidarnott4850]

That's why you play multiple rounds. In a way, you're kinda describing any card game, right?

[@felipealvarez1982]

I wonder what card games you do not consider luck-based?

[@susanscandles]

Wished we could find this in retail!!

[@ramaya007]

If you have not found it by now check Barnes and Nobles

[@MrB711]

When are they releasing the new version?

[@bigpoppapump2594]

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.

[@boardgamegeek]

They are sleeved. The sleeves really seemed to work with no issues turning them upside down. Thanks for the note and for watching-Lincoln

[@marktan6427]

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.)

[@odditie]

In round 3 didn’t Nikki have negative 1 point? I believe they gave her a +1 point token.

[@Tabletop_Turtles]

was going to say same thing

[@GG4GJake]

The tokens are double sided. Every plus one token has a negative one token on the back

[@JarradShaw]

❤

[@PeanutFour]

"Ohh Davee..." "Yes Nicky?" =))

[@bradlittman2761]

What's the other game Lincoln mentions that is like this? At around 54:56. Thanks.

[@boardgamegeek]

Krass Kariert or Dealt! It's a really cool game as well that has a similar feel. Thanks for the note and for watching!-Lincoln

[@salamonlaszlolibrarian]

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 😀

[@phoenixstephan3655]

Where does it say that you can play descending card runs in the rules?

[@TorSverre]

In my version of the rules, it's under Show, Rule 1, "When playing consecutive numbers, the numbers can either be in ascending or descending order." There's also examples, showing a 56, a 43, and a 321.

[@susanscandles]

In NC and trying to find both LFGS and online.

[@boardgamegeek]

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

[@bestatstartrek2179]

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

[@TorSverre]

Absolutely. The rules say "After Scouting, as long as there is at elast 1 card remaining ..." clearly indicating that i can also be 0 remaining.

[@CharlieNagoo]

You can't Scout (take) one card because if you did there wouldn't be "at least one card remaining. "

[@saintsalieri]

What is the game named at 3:15 that isn't Bohnanza?

[@boardgamegeek]

Krass Kariert or Dealt! as it is know in the US. It's a great game as well. Thanks for the note and for watching-Lincoln

[@Sarculare]

As a lefty I don't get Lincoln's complaint. Most standard card decks only fan one way as well so I learned to fan my cards so they work. Where are these people who grew up with bidirectional cards?

[@boardgamegeek]

It's actually not my complaint. This was what the SdJ jury folks were saying was an issue. Nikki does graphics for board games and we have thought about it a lot and I am confused as well about that complaint. If you don't see what you want fan them the other direction. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

[@boardgamegeek]

I'm also a lefty who only ever fanned my cards the "right" way. I never thought of the card design being left or right because you can fan them the same way no matter which hand you use. -WEM

[@daddio6129]

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!

[@youvelookedbetter]

I think it's important to consider accessibility issues like this for people who might learn or think differently. Good point to bring up, whether or not it affects a lot of people.

[@zamparor]

I picked up a copy recently and the cards have numbers on both sides

[@bryanbrammer4353]

Where can I find a copy of this game?

[@boardgamegeek]

Oink Games has mentioned that the game is out of stock in the U.S. at the moment, and another print run will be coming. Oink does plan to attend Gen Con 2022 and bring over supply from Japan for that show. -WEM

[@bryanbrammer4353]

@@boardgamegeek Thank you for the info WEM! I'll snag a copy at Gen Con! This was a fun playthrough!

I hope y'all continue to keep these ads simple! I like them so much better than ads in other channels. I might have missed it, but do yall have a code to use on their website to show that we learned about them from your channel??

[@boardgamegeek]

Thanks for your note! We don't have a code because Gamegenic does not have an online store. We are working on something that would be awesome if it comes to fruition. We will let everyone know if it does. Thanks again for your note and for watching.-Lincoln

@@boardgamegeek If they don't have an online store, why are they advertising products we can't buy or is there a place where can we buy their products?

@@Bunny2086 they are an Asmodee company. They have stuff available on most online stores and lots of local stores. They have a store locator on their site. Right now Miniature Market has a lot of their stuff on sale because they are moving their warehouse. Thanks for the note and for watching-Lincoln

[@SGFlicksify]

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

[@matthewpannell7268]

The gamegenic stuff looks awesome but is there an online retailer? Can’t order direct from their site on a lot of stuff.

[@boardgamegeek]

Matthew, in the past I have purchased their stuff on Miniature Market, Amazon and the local store when we are in Dallas. Miniature Market has a lot of their stuff on sale right now because they are moving to a new warehouse. I really love their stuff and consider ourselves fortunate to have them as our sponsor.-Thanks for the note and for watching-Lincoln

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Seems Dave forgot to wear a hat, lol

[@jenniferw.2571]

This game looks really interesting... I tried looking for it and things came up pretty dry. What a shame!

[@boardgamegeek]

Oink Games is located in Japan, so restocking in the U.S. and elsewhere sometimes takes a while. -WEM

[@jenniferw.2571]

Just thought I would give a shoutout to let people know I found it on amazon just the other day!

[@CharlieNagoo]

You can't Scout (take) one card and leave nothing in the play area.

[@troyrobinson440]

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 ?

[@JakeDiToro]

This vidoe is missing the "Final Thoughts' chapter at 54:10

[@boardgamegeek]

Jake, dang it's in the description but I put a period and not a colon. Thanks for pointing that out-Lincoln

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

I don’t think you can “scout” just one card.

[@marquonuk]

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.

[@Sir_I.I_William]

The number played is orientated to the middle of the table. Not an issue.

[@jeffwilson4135]

That wasn't a trick taking game. A trick is where each person plays one card, like bridge.

[@noog8756]

Correct

[@Rethonovo]

this game might be fun to play but I had to skip to the end game discussion as it was terrible for watching. I know why you had to include it ...

[@GARDENER43]

UNO more fun than that! 😅
