Elevenses

Hi, Glenn here from the War Game Barrister, and yes we played card game, but what about second card game? Or perhaps 11 Z's? Welcome to 11 Z's, the game of competitive morning tea, where each of us is trying to put out the best spread to win these coveted trigger cubes. Now every player has the same 11 cards, and each player will have it set up just Eight cards face down, making their spread, three cards in their hand called their kitchen. Now on your turn, you can do one of two actions. You can play a card from your kitchen to your spread by playing it face up in this proper spot, and that means n So the seven card that I have here, biscuits, I can play here, I take the card that was there into my hand. Now I have to take out the action on the card, all players pass the card from the kitchen to the right. So I would do that there, get a card from that person, and now if you notice I have a card of a different color than my blue. That's okay, I can still play this card if it's in my hand. Now the other action you can take is called a rearrange, where you can swap cards that you have facedown for ones in your hand. The ones you swap out don't have to match their proper n So I can swap this card here, and take that into my hand, and I can swap this card here and do that. You may do that up to twice as an action. Now the game will continue until someone plays the 11 Z's card, meaning it's time for tea to start. At which point everyone then totals up the spoons on their cards, whoever has the most spoons wins that round and wins sugar cubes. Keep playing until someone has five cubes and they have the best morning tea. So, one of the 11 Z's aside from theme, because morning tea is amazing, is that this game is about putting things in their proper order, and I love that. But, I also love chaos, and you get that with the action on the cards that sometimes will give you cards from other players. These might be cards you've already played, or cards that you don't want to play, and now you have to adapt to strategy and love being forced to think on my feet Now, if this video helped you determine that 11 Z's is a fit for you, hit the subscribe button.
