 So the other game which I did not play you know the rules you don't need to play to know it is foppin So foppin, I guess our friends couldn't get a real copy But their friend was a graphic designer and made a Steven universe themed copy that looked like a professional game All what Claude that Claude's in. Oh, that yeah, it was Claude. That's what it was called So and that game it was basically the same exact game only it looked like Steven universe and it looked like someone Professionally made this that was on real cards. It was you know, but it was the same game as foppin Oh, the original art is real good though, too. Sure. Why wouldn't it be? So here's the deal with foppin You got four different suits of cards But one of the suits as like a ton of cards in it and the second one has less cards and the third one is even less cards and the fourth one is like a really weak suit it doesn't have a lot of cards at all and It's trick-taking so you play a card and everyone has to follow suit and Someone wins the trick by having the highest card and then you know They take the lead and so on and so forth. It's a trick-taking game However The goal of this trick-taking game is not to win all the tricks, right? That is something you can do that would be beneficial for you But it is not necessary. It is the game about not being in last Right. So what happens is you play the trick and if you have the weakest card in the trick You are now the Claude and on the next hand you don't play you just sit there and watch everyone else play that trick So on the first trick of the game everyone plays but from then on Someone's always sitting out and it's never the same person twice in a row because They were the Claude last hand so then I can't be the Claude this hand, right? And when you're the Claude you don't play a card because you're sitting out But that sucks That sucks because you win the game when you get rid of your last card Which means you play your last card in a trick and you don't come in last place and That's how that goes. It's a clever mechanic because think think about it. Usually it's like in hearts It's somebody wins the trick and may get fucked because there might be a bunch of hearts in the trick This game is somebody loses the trick badly So That's pretty much all it comes down to. This is the extra rules, right? If let's say someone can't follow suit obviously no matter how high the number on their card is They're losing but if two people or more can't follow suit whoever's got the lower number and the weaker suit is the person Who is the Claude, right? So it's like, you know even playing a higher number when you can't follow suit is still better because at least hey I'm not gonna, you know, hopefully I'll beat someone else who can't follow suit also at the end of the hand right usually people don't have positive scores in this game if you and And and you have gotten rid of all your cards You got ten points if you have any cards in your hand those cards become negative points So the bigger the numbers are on the cards that are still in your hand the more points you lose You want to get rid of your big numbered cards if you got like a 15 in your hand and the hand is over That's a negative 15 that sucks ass you want to end the hand with like a negative two in your hand That'd be way better Also in the deck are four ones The ones are weak obviously it's hard to win a trick with them, right? It's hard to avoid if you play them It's hard to not be Claude because they're number one the weakest number, but they follow suit no matter what So if everyone can follow suit and you can except for one other person and they play some other suit That's off-suit and you play your one you beat them and you can yeah I didn't couldn't follow suit, but I had my one and I got avoided being Claude one extra time Yeah, there's one other thing in this game when the hand starts Everyone looking at their starting hand right has to bet you either say I'm going to get rid of all my cards or I'm not going to get rid of all my cards If you say you're not going to you play just you just play But if you say I can do it I am going to get rid of all my cards with this hand and You succeed instead of getting ten points you get twenty points. That's big. That's real big That's a lot like you're like going alone. I'm going alone double my score, right? But if you say you can do it and you can't your negative is doubled So if you got like a 15 in your hand, it's like negative 30. Ah Oh, you went alone. You got you right so when I played this it was funny Like there was a hand where I bet and I came close But it didn't make it so like negative five or something it was it was you know It was negative six something like that, right? Because I had like I had like a three left It was grid the next time like I'm not betting and then I got rid of all my cards And then I like it was the first three hands of the stupid game and Every single hand I bet the opposite of what I should have bet and I'm just like ah if I had just bet differently I'd be at like plus 30 right now, but instead I'm at negative 10. I Played it. I played it great, but I bet wrong So the betting is huge and that's this game. Yeah It's not as short as Fuji flush because you gotta play the multiple hands. It sounds like there's more tricky stuff You're dealing out the whole deck to everyone Oh, you didn't got a lot of cards to everyone right and you're playing all of them, right? You know so it but it's not like wizard. We have to do that multiple times So it's sort of this in-between length game But it's also really interesting like trying to just not be last if you just come in second on every trick It's like it's super great another thing that can happen a lot is because there's different numbers of the different suits It's like this we were playing in a Steven universe version, right? So Stevens were the weakest suit. Yeah, of course. There were not a lot of Steven cards in the deck period and there was one hand where I had a ton of Stevens, which is really bad because no one else is gonna lead Stevens So if I try to I'm eventually gonna be forced to play them and they're gonna lose every time And I'll keep being the clawed and that's like when you're stuck leading the hearts at the end of a game of hearts And nobody else is gonna top you just hard hard hard. However What happens if say I play I didn't it wasn't a hundred percent Stevens in my hand, right? I win just one trick got to come in first. So now I'm leading I Play a Steven and no one can follow Stevens. I just play another Steven Yeah, and another Steven and another Steve. I just I'm keep winning the tricks first place I'm Setting the suit at Steven every single trick Constantly no one can follow suit the cloud keeps moving around between the other players as they dump their other Cards and suddenly they see me keep doing this and they don't have Stevens They had to keep playing like they want to play their high point cards from the other suits, right? Because then if they lose this trick, but that just feeds you But that if they dump those cards that means when I get to when I'm out of Stevens I have to play something else my something else is More probably the strongest cards left because they wanted to avoid having low scores They use those strong cards and lost them, right? But maybe they save them and then if they end the gate the hand with those still in hand That's big negative, right? And so is this really great balancing act that goes on where you got a really count cards Think about what's in other people's hands, you know And adding a theme to it because you can't get the original version I guess, you know, it would be probably a little bit more fun If I've watched more episodes of Steven Universe than like three you should it's a it's escalated quite a bit Since you stopped watching why I got me enough my plan right now is wait for adventure time to end Like in a year or six months or whenever watch all of that now and then I'll move on
