What is Seas of Strife
In the trick-taking game Seas of Strife, formerly Texas Showdown, originally published as Strife, you want to avoid taking tricks as skillfully as you can, but playing off-suit might not keep you safe as the suit can change during the trick, possibly stinging you in the end.
Before play, all the cards are distributed evenly among the players. Once a player leads a single card for the first trick, all other players must play a card of the same suit, if possible. If a player can't play on suit, they can play a card of any color — but after they do this, all subsequent players can play a card of either matching color (or possibly a third color if they have neither of the first two).
Once all players have played to the trick, you see which color has been played most frequently in the trick. Whoever played the highest card of this color wins the trick. If two or more colors are tied, then the highest card counts as the winner.
You play several rounds until someone reaches the target number of tricks taken. At that point, whoever has captured the fewest tricks wins!

What the community says about Seas of Strife
Un juego de bazas inversa! La verdad es que es muy divertido
Es un juego de bazas, en el que el objetivo es hacer el menor número de bazas posible. Hay que seguir el palo (no es necesario superar). Si no se puede seguir, se puede bajar un segundo palo. El resto de jugadores tendrán que jugar cartas de uno de esos palos. La carta más alta se lleva la baza. Ilustraciones de un barquito. Es entretenido y rápido. Recomendable.
Recomendable 5,6
