2:53 These cards are worth 22 points, you can only count multipliers of the color of your team.

Ha, thought this was going to be a re-release of the original Tatsu game (which I love) or a tie in property. So strange to find out it's unrelated.

[@bullfrog417]

Agreed. Was very disappointed.

Another trick-taking game to add to my Wishlist. I guess at this point I'm going to be the "trick-taking guy" at weekly board game night.

It's a bit weird to call a game 'Tatsu' in english when there's already a game of this name, even if out of print. Can't put my finger on why it's weird to me... it's like, you need a reason to allow a bgg search to find both your game and another game..

[@violentfrog_]

You can still buy original Tatsu through the publisher's store at least.

@@violentfrog_ I actually own a copy due to the relative novelty of being 'backgammon based'. It's a fine, ok, game. Just not an exciting one to me, and ultimately too dice dependent.

In the US: Can’t copyright a name. It wouldn’t even have common law trademark because “Tatsu” means dragon and both games are about dragons - you cannot trademark something the describes the good being sold. Ie: you can’t trademark a brand Pie for pie goods. Maybe you can TM “Apple Pie” and only sell pear pies. Maybe someone can make an argument that tatsu is not in the English language…though the US doesn't even have an official language.

Still waiting for top 10 games of 2022, last one posted was top 20-11 games of 2022

Make sure to look under the Live Tabs under the Dice Tower page. This was a KZbin change they rolled out where live shows, including our Top 10 Lists, no longer show up in the regular "Videos" feed. You'll find three groups of us did our Top 10 of 2022 and also a Top 10 Surprises of the year. Hope that helps.

Dice tower judgement...buy cat in the box 🧑‍⚖️

Naming your game the same as an already published game is both scummy AND stupid because the other game may choose to protect its copyright forcing you to change the name.
