You ve got crabs game review năm 2024

You’ve Got Crabs is the new game from the designers of Exploding Kittens and Bears vs Babies. And my job here is done because with that sentence I have told you if this game is for you or not. Send me my cheque, Mr. Editor, I shall be in the conservatory.

Really, this review is superfluous. You know enough about games to be reading a website called ‘Tabletop Gaming’. The odds are very strong you have an opinion on Exploding Kittens and its ilk. You’ve Got Crabs is much like its older sibling, only better presented and more briny.

The gameplay is borrowed from the traditional, if little-known, set-making game kemps. Play is simultaneous: everyone grabs cards from the middle all at once, trying to get four the same. When you do, you give a pre-arranged secret signal to your teammate sitting opposite, who must yell, "You’ve got crabs!" to win you both a point. But if anyone else notices your frantic signalling and shouts it first, they get the point.

And that’s the whole game. You can play it with a deck of ordinary cards, but ordinary cards do not have artwork and crab-puns from the Oatmeal guy on them, or come in a sweet box with cute little drawers.

If you’re still on the fence about it, there’s an expansion that consists of one wild card and a pair of rubber crab claws that you have to wear if you hold the card – if that sounds like fun, knock yourself out. If not, don’t dare be sniffy about it. Fast, funny intro games like this are bringing new people to gaming, widening the hobby, and that’s good for all of us.

Form teams of two players each (max of 5 teams). Each team meets privately to come up with a non vocal signal to indicate when either teammate collects 4 of the same Crab Card.

Each player will get a hand of 4 cards. One side plays at a time. On a side’s turn, all players on that side can simultaneously swap any card from their hand with a card from the middle of the table (The Ocean).

When you have 4 of the same Crab Card, you can't say anything out loud. Instead, when you’re ready, give your secret signal to your teammate. When they notice, they will point at you and shout, 'YOU’RE A LITTLE CRABBY'

If they’re right, your team gets a point. If they’re wrong, your team loses a point.

However if a player on another team suspects you’re passing a signal, they can point and shout, 'YOU’RE A LITTLE CRABBY!' If they are correct, they steal one of your points. If they are incorrect, steal a Crab Token from the accusing player.

The game is over when the last Crab Token has been taken from the Crab Pot. At that point, all teams should count up their combined Crab Tokens. The team with the most Crab Tokens wins.

You ve got crabs game review năm 2024

Split into Teams

Split up into teams of two. Privately decide on a secret signal with your teammate, such as touching your nose or blinking a lot.

Try to Get Four of a Kind

Sit across from each other, draw cards, and try to get four of a kind.

Pass Your Signal

If you get four of a kind, you have crabs! Do your best to communicate this to your partner using your secret signal.

Collect those Points...or Not

If your partner sees your signal and yells 'You’ve got crabs,' you gain a crab point, but if an opponent sees your signal and yells 'You've got crabs,' you lose a point.

Whichever team has the most crabs wins.

We have a big family (5 kids from 7-13 years old) and this was an instant hit the same day we received it from the mail. The rules are quite straightforward and even the youngest teammates can still be competitive. It will take a while to figure out best strategies, but the game is exciting and something that you want to keep playing. Definitely recommended as a family staple!

Product was very well made, all the cards and the crab tokens were great quality. The game itself was somewhat enjoyable and kept a group entertained for a few plays. The game lost a bit of traction as it was very repetitive. Could be a good drinking game with a few alterations to the rules. Overall, good product and would recommend if you enjoyed other games from the creators.

After you get the hang of it it’s easy to play. Having to come up with and use a secret signal definitely is what makes the games funnier. As a lover of exploding kittens it was always going to be a hard act to follow

I got this as a gift for my brother. I think the game mechanics aren't as good as Exploding Kittens.

Great party game! Heavily influenced by the card game sometimes known as "kemps". Simple to learn, and games are quick. Goal of the game is to collect 4 of a kind and nonverbally signal to your partner to call it correctly. And you can also try and call out opposing players. The attempts to pick up on the cues can result in hilarious results. Love the variety of cards. Cool addition to the collection.
