No pirate who ever sailed the seven seas was as savage as this resizing.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Bahahahahaa too true, Jon!! Avast!!

[@salsarocket]

Watching you resize the game physically hurt me. A+.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahahaa cheeers!! 🫡🫡🫡

[@nfirehazzard1]

Table is a master of disguise! It took me a second to recognize the intro music.. But once he appeared on the screen, the manurisms, pacing... So good! Love your videos so much! 😂

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahaaa! Thanks sooo much Kay!! I have been watching WEM for so long I was hoping to capture him somewhat, so this is so nice to hear!

[@jaredneal4192]

No trigger warning before defacing that innocent box... priceless 😂. I really hope Eric watches this and has a good chuckle.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

I hope so too!! I'll include a trigger warning next time, i promise!

[@Naru-Maki]

You really did a great job explaining this. It looked so overwhelming but I understood it perfectly. Thank you for covering everything and sharing it with us!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Of course!! Thanks so much for watching!! Hope you get a chance to play!!

[@burglekutt23]

“Any rules questions just grab a telephone” haha awesome. Excellent parody btw, I hope WEM is flattered! I love Skull King, it was the game that made me fall in love with trick taking and is still one of my all-time favorites. I feel like it’s one of the best in its class for making really memorable moments every game.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahaa cheers for the kind words!! And yesss! It's an absolute classic and a huge gateway for the genre, which is so rad!

[@marcelineleiman4330]

This is an incredible impression 😂 and just the kind of topic I imagine WEM might actually make a video about.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheeeers, Marceline!! I tried! He does love those interesting aspects of games. He's seriously the best!!

[@Warriorking.1963]

This is a terrific game, one of my favourites. One of the reasons I like it, is if you're introducing people to bidding trick takers for the first time, the first few hands have only got one or two cards in them, so they aren't overwhelmed by trying to figure out how many tricks they might win. So it's nice and easy for them to wrap their skull around... Super video as always their mate.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh yes it's so fun to be able to teach while playing! Thanks so much for the kind words as always, Warriorking!!

[@Tommy.Kerbow]

Well done! Thanks for the trick taking area at Dice Tower West! Tommy from Texas.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheeers Tommy, hope you're well!!

[@sshrdlu]

that wemmer is a sweet kid with a distinctly parodiable style. looking forward to his callout video in response

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Love WEM!

[@RolandIronfist13]

This was so deadpan it's passed into the realm of "I truly don't know if you dislike that edition or love it" territory.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Muahahaa perfect >:)

[@nadavleadner4190]

The game adjustment is the definition of art

[@stephenfinney3101]

is this a regular part of the T^4 formula?

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

A thank you a thank you

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Could be!

[@dishwasherlove]

I suggested you review this in a comment on an earlier video and now I have blood on my hands 🫥

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahahaaa this is all your fault!!

[@korologosmichael0]

Nice video. I feel like you could have taken about an inch off the depth of the box, there was still some air in there. Otherwise good job.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

I'm in shambles after seeing this! You're so right!!

[@barrettyeager96]

I use the box for Race for the Galaxy with AA (non-orb). It fits perfectly.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oooo great call! Love race ft galaxy!

[@Trig565]

Well done. Got -em- WEM.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hahaaa cheeers Trenzor

[@nakago7]

The game is exellent with Rascal Scoring rules!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Right?! What a fun change!

[@AndyMcGowan]

hi Taylor, may I ask you an opinion on the trick-taking game POWER VACUUM, currently on KS? As it's quite expensive, I'm kind of in doubt wether to back it or not

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Hey Andy! I've yet to play sadly, I'll take a peek soon and see if it looks good!

[@jonathanfranklin461]

Wow, you could have doubled your copies if Skull King by cutting out both numbers on each card. :)

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Oh my goodnesssss!! I could sold off the other! Instant profit!

[@jimgrant9081]

Hilarious! I'm shocked you were ever trusted with a scissors. By the way, Rascal Scoring seems like the way to go, but I haven't tried it yet. Soon -- maybe with that Rascal, Dan.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheeers Jim!! Hope the rascal scoring goes well!!

[@ericnowitzky449]

This game is a huge hit with my friends, so I give it a 10/10!! Any thoughts on the game Angels and Devils? I think it's a hidden gem!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

I totally get that! Oh yes! I'll have a video soon, Eric!!

[@craigsomerton2359]

Hilarious! You've token efficiency to a whole new level.

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheeers Craig! Button shy has nothing on this!

[@shreyinspace]

This is hilarious!

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

Cheeers Shrey!!

[@jotaf98]

Good day sir, due to the reckless destruction of trick-taking property, unlicensed by a federal Legacy Judge, we are going to have to revoke your Rules Teacher License. Have a nice day. -Sleeves County Sheriff Department

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]

I'll take my punishment 😔 I plead guilty 😭 Forgive me SDSC!

[@jotaf98]

Rules are rules, no takesies backies!

[@ashwinkamath4598]

You're so bald right now, I FEEL SEEN

[@ClaudeAndTaylor]
