Cockroach poker game? What.

We got Shouta this episode although I find him to be rather awkward compared to the others. Aya is still cheerful as ever. I see right now, the show is dealing with the most popular games like poker. In due time, I hope they get even more creative.

The boy is like very cute, why there's no cute boy play game with me when I'm in school?
Anyway, this episode reminds me that 20 years ago Yu-Gi-Oh! used to be master of all games, now the franchise is only focusing on milking the trading card game until the last drop.

Poor guy doing all those things only to be miss understood and friendzonedi guess he has a lot of hardships ahead of him.

The game didn't seem very appealing it's the type where you have to make up a good tactic when to lie and when not to while avoiding a pattern which could be read by the others.

Having a game that's entirely about bluffing definitely helps in both establishing character interaction and showcasing interesting moments of gameplay. And next week's Incan Gold with its push-your-luck element will strike a similar vein, I'm looking forward to it!

Still a bit sad though that we don't get more games per episode or that episodes aren't longer ><

This time they are playing 'cockroach' poker. It was interesting to watch.

Miki is too adorable xd especially the 'on the way home' scene was so heartwarming ^^

Tanoue doesn't really fit in tbh
Feels like forced romance even though it's not

Aaa Kakerlaken Poker!! Used to play this with my friends back then all the time ^^
Although I was more like Aya "I kinda understand.. and I kinda don't"
Such a nostalgic feeling ^^ I wanna play it again now :v

Tanoue reminds me so much of myself... when I was 11. Seriously, him acting all flustered and anxious was really annoying to see.

Not a good episode, honestly. Mostly due to Tanoue's character and his interactions with the rest. The card game was quite interesting tho.

I know right, the character interaction are just gold and the different games really intriguing so far! Hopefully, it'll maintain this quality all the way through!

My condolences to that poor dude, Aya-chan's female intuition couldn't be more wrong lmao. I wonder if we'll get any development on that part though, Miki-chan it's time to play the anchor role!

Got to say those monologues from Miki-chan really are heartwarming and for some reason the dialect just gives it a unique charm.

I think my Thursdays are officially blessed now.

Agreed completely, she must be protected at all costs. Little moments like that hen they were deciding if they should call each other by their first names, so adorable. I believe it’ll have a lot more development. I’m gonna pick up the manga next week too for my birthday, it’s so relaxing and heartwarming

I'm probably the only one, but as a German I watch this for the nostalgia ...
I don't know a lot of games, but some of the games they laid out there I played before (especially 11 raus or 11 out) is something I played a lot during holidays with my family when I was young.

So yeah, this show is not great, but for me it is the actual games that make it interesting. :D

Well I happened to like them that way =P Even if they are very similar and in some way boring

I just dont think a male belong in those kind of shows ,,Like them because they are females only ,,or maybe a support male can work like the shopkeeper, but romance NO!!! Cute girls is what i want here

A guy penetrating into the CGDCT show? Definitely something different towards the genre. As much as a "romantic" crush getting in the way.

Cockroach Poker...hmm, 1st time knowing about this game. And an interesting one at that. But with Miki and Ono's intuitions, both Aya and the crush in question keeps losing due to their subtle behaviours.

For Aya is normal, but the crush surely got his facts reversed with the girl he likes to the childhood friend. What a failure.

This episode is more relatable than the 1st. I'd expect more games and Iyashikei going forward.

Honestly, the Cockroach Poker really seems funny to play ! I played some similar game whose I forgot the name but you had 5 dices and placed them inside a cup. Then shake it on the table, look at the number on each dice. After that one player which changes every round announces something like "I have 2 x 3" (meaning 2 dices that stopped on the 3).

The next player in line has to say "lie" or has to give a fact higher than the previous one. For example, he could say "I have 3x3" or even "I have 5x1". So let's say that I announced having "5x6" and the next player calls me "liar" but in fact I said the truth : he loses 1 dice and has to play with only 4. Game keeps going until only 1 player has at least a single dice.

A quite tactical game since you have to take in consideration the number of dices your opponents have and also be able to guess if they are lying or not. A bit similar with Cockroach Poker since you have to guess / trick.

Surprise surprise, this isn't gone all-girl, which is good because there are too much slice of life with all-girl character and I'm getting a bit bored about it.

And plus point for long explanation about the game rules, made it still on track with what this series is all about.

Oh, and I really got Haruo's vibe around Tanoue, especially when he called Ono :)

HIDDEN GEM OF THE SEASON DETECTED! HIDDEN GEM OF THE SEASON DETECTED!

Man, I didn't expect what I thought was a pretty obscure card game to show up but it really made the episode so enjoyable for me, becuase I'VE PLAYED THAT GAME!

I don't see them so much anymore, but some people within my friendship group are really in to board / card games like this, and I've played a bunch becuase of that. Though I don't actually like playing them so much to be honest, unless it's the cooperative ones. I'm too competitive so it doesn't feel very friendly or chill to be facing up against my friends.

The guy adds an extra light romance element which really adds to this show, and I was so happy to see the story develop the characters through playing the games! It's exactly what I wanted to see.

Score goes from 6 to 7 and has the potential for an 8 or even 9.

@Yuri-Crusader Don't worry about triggered people lol. I love your posts because of the passion even if I don't agree sometimes like with this show.
