Been trying to buy this game forever (I love trick-takers, & this one's a unique & essential addition to my collection [you mentioned Diamonds - that's a great, modern trick-taker, too]) - & it FINALLY was available online again! Great job explaining everything; just 1 other rule in the 5-player variant: only one Potato Man card can be played in a single trick.
Reverse trick taking game? Well, is it just coincidence Tom talked about Conquest of Orion, a game with the same mechanic, just yesterday? The evil potato and Potato Man really reminds me of the Dragon card of Faidutti's Dwarf King. However I can see some different ideas on Potato Man and as a fan of trick taking games I really wish I can get to play it. Thanks for the review and keep up with the awesome work!

All hail the Game Boy Geek!
So going to get this. Love trick taking. Thanks, Dan!

Looks like it could be really fun. I may have to give this one a shot.
Just grabbed this off Amazon for 16ish bucks. The month-long shipping wait from Germany is gonna kill me, though!
