I had an idea for this week’s post: let’s do a little bit of
a lighter game. Something substantial, but easy to play, and quick to learn. So
I looked around, and figured why not an old favorite like Bottle Imp? I mean,
it’s December, people. It’s the perfect time to damn your friends to hell via an
ancient trapped demon! Talk about getting into the holiday spirit… LOL
Bottle Imp is a tidy little trick-taking card game for 3 or
4 players, most recently published by Z-Man Games in 1995. Like other
trick-taking card games (e.g. Hearts or Spades), gameplay relies on clever
deceits and cutthroat card passes to win the game. And the story of Bottle Imp
really is as dubious as my opener suggests!
