    It’s been years since I’ve played Coup but I still hear the phrase “I’m the duke” echo in my head like some PTSD’d combat vet.

    Ton of fun...love coup.
    Played in a tournament and one of the players wouldn’t look at his cards until several rounds in...hard to call a bluff on that.

    You can get 65x100 opaque card sleeves for this game. That helps when mixing and matching the expansions, albeit at extra cost. It does also somewhat protect them from knobheads knocking their drinks over, either accidently or in frustration.

    Great game, I find bluffing as the ambassador early on is great to keep you low profile so no one aggros on you while giving you the tools to do the dirty work for the rest of the game. People rarely challenge the Ambassador.

      Yeah, that is best strat theoretically and on BGA people just swap cards for 10 minutes (it feels like that) so they can work out what card are left in the deck. We prefer to all just Tax until there are 8 Dukes claimed and damn the consequences.

    One of our all time favourite games. It is a masterpiece of game design.

    We love Coup and if we play with more than 4 then we usually play with the Reformation team based expansion as it really allows the game to devolop and get to the point where people are lying to the enemy team, their own team and probably themselves.

    Here in Scotland we use the word coup to mean both the overthrow of a legitimate government but also, pronounced differently, to mean a complete mess, a shambles. E.g. “Ma hoose is a right coup”.

    If you get cards with different print backs you can still play them if you sleeve them.

      Rather they didn’t screw up the print run tbh

      @@BoardGameBollocks agreed, still, if you are stuck in that situation, you might as well sleeve them. Love your vids btw.

    Great game. I got given the rebellion G54 edition not long after...but always revert back to the original, as its piss easy to play and you don't have keep looking up what each character does.

    I was only talking about the card back discrepancy between the base game and Reformation with a friend last night. And thanks to the ridiculous card size I've been unable to find any opaque-backed sleeves which fit it. Livid doesn't cover it 🤬

    Great game indeed. Thanks for the review.

    Sigh.... I just can’t justify my antipathy to Coup, but it is how I feel.
    I own a copy of the original (tatty black and white art) edition but I never bring it out. Something about the gameplay just seems mingy to me, go figure.
    IIRC Love Letter came out around the same time and supplanted Coup in my affections?

    • @BoardGameBollocks
      @BoardGameBollocks  2 года назад +2

      Love letter only plays 4 unless I spend another £15

    You called this one right. Would have been a potential unsubscribing moment if you'd gone the other way...
