A two-player trick-taking duel where taking too much — or too little — costs you the game.
Who it's for
Trick-taking fans who enjoy a tense head-to-head duel with an unusual all-or-nothing scoring twist.
Not for you if…
You need more than two players or prefer trick-taking games with straightforward highest-card scoring.
Vibe's take
Tight and psychological, with each trick a calculated risk between greed and restraint rather than simple high-card wins.
A two-player trick-taking duel inspired by Goethe's Faust, where Mephisto tempts and Faust resists across four thematic domains. Win all the tricks in a suit, or none of them, and you claim that domain — collect two domains as Mephisto and you win, otherwise Faust triumphs.
