For what concerns the game concept, Coyote is only similar to the public domain card game. In Coyote there are some special cards that can change the final outcome, doubling some values, transorming a positive number in a negative number and so on and this is where the fun comes from. You have so many ways to bluff your opponents and so many weird combinations of cards that every game is different.

Seems like the took a game that you can play with an ordinary deck of cards and your hand(holding the card to your head) and made it so it can have a copyright attached to it. Having said that, the game looks enjoyable and I like the them added by the headbands and feathers.
@ThePurpleSeahorse For the love of all that is holy, get off the pedestal! If I complained every time I heard a reference to "Drunken Irishmen" or saw a Bugs Bunny cartoon with a Scot in a kilt blowing bagpipes, or saw Snow White's dwarfs and thought, "That's not funny to real midgets," I'd hardly have time to do anything positive with my life. Grow a sense of humor - it makes better people out of everyone.
Everyone on trial over what might offend what pansy is why our country's gone to shit.
@galathonredd It's funny that you would invoke "all that is holy," because that's exactly what's being used as a joke in these games.
My sense of humor is pretty rich, but it doesn't involve laughing at stereotypes, or misuse of cultural treasures. Perhaps if Scots and Irish people spoke up a long time ago you wouldn't have to look at a stupid bunny in a kilt, or leprechauns on cereal boxes. That's your problem. If the country has a problem it's because no one has any respect for other people.
@ThePurpleSeahorse Apparently your humor isn't rich enough if you can find a rabbit in a kilt funny (despite it making fun of my Celtic religious heritage) but can't settle down about a feather in a headband. My people never spoke up because we're good enough to see the humor in our history.
The thumbs have it, in case you didn't notice. Lighten up, it'd go a long way further than self-righteousness. Or just keep on trollin', if you must.
@ThePurpleSeahorse Oh noes, a party game is mildly offensive through a sacred symbol. I guess it's okay to get offended everytime there's a game on China, harhar.
Those who get offended by the slightest things are just as bad as those who say the most offensive things.
@windscar18 Sure Chinese people have the right to be offended if you're abusing their culture for your fun and games. There's a history in this to my people. We're not just fodder for playtime.
I'm glad that you get to decide which things are "slight" or "mildly offensive" to other cultures. I guess I'll now decide that communion wine and wafers are worthless, and serve them with cheese at my next party. You can't be offended by that, though, as this would just be a fun gesture.
@ThePurpleSeahorse ...Or we can do things your way. EVERYTHING can offend someone, so let's all live in isolated white cells with no possessions or contact with anyone - it's the only way to be sure nobody has any fun, and nobody else takes offense to it.
If you are not a Jehovah's Witness or a Taliban, your very existence offends their religious beliefs. How do you plan to remedy that, since everyone should conform rather than tolerate, as you're expressing? There is NO difference.

@ThePurpleSeahorse There's a difference between being sensitive to stereotypes and being assholish about stereotypes. Look, if something offends you, there is no reason that you have to come out and announce your intentions. It's not like the reviewer here or the game here are like "This is how all Irish people act" and it's obviously not the intended message. Yes, I do think that people like you are just as bad as real racists, and I have met far more racism than you ever will. Now, get out.
@ThePurpleSeahorse In fact, let me make this clear. Your attempting to defend a relatively harmless joke tells me that you don't have enough pride in your heritage to let it stand for itself. You should be ashamed of yourself, because you just mocked your own heritage more than these reviewers here, and gave it a worse name. The true racists out there can now use you as an example of Celtic bigotry, as completely unjustified as that is. Is that what you want? No? Then be more responsible, jerk.
I'm really sorry if something in my game Coyote can be offensive to anybody. Very likely it depends on a lack in my knowledge of the native american's culture (I'm Italian). In any case it wasn't done intentionally.
Hope you have an opportunity to play the game and discover that it's based on simple math calculations and clever bluff. Nothing else.
Don't you worry about him, Mr. Albertarelli. He does not speak for American Indians at large. He speaks only for himself. And that being the case, he should simply not play the game and allow the rest of us toenjoy it in peace.
So I am sure you(or ThePurpleSeahorse) will ask how I know he does not speak for American Indians at large when he says this is offensive. Simple, I am an American Indian and I know several who I told about this game and they think it sounds like fun.So there.
Thank you. It's important for me to know that the opinion of Purpleseahorse doesn't represent a common idea in the American Indian community. Coyote is just a game, nothing else.
@sparrtac Not sure you have enough data to validate OR ignore either viewpoint. I found the idea totally distasteful. I would think, as a business person, you would want to know that - whether other viewers agree or think I'm a pansy. Would you have marketed the game with a crown of thorns, fish symbols, and crosses? 3 wrong guesses and you're crucified?? Some might think that was hysterical, some might be offended, but it would definitely impact your sales!
Sounds like another winner to me. I would totally play that game.
By the way, I am also a Christian, just not a religious person that would get offended by stuff like that.
Again to Sparrtac, do not worry about what other people say. You are never gong to please everyone so I say don't even bother trying. Put out a game you are happy with and let the chips fall where they may.

Thank you Tom for the great review of the Game.

I used to play this as a kid, except we used a regular deck of cards and called it "Indian Head Poker.' I suppose that's not very PC anymore...
