About this game

My Favourite Things turns trick-taking into a strange little mirror of your friends' personalities. Before you play a single card, everyone hands you a category, and you secretly rank five things you love and one thing you can't stand in it, right there on the cards you're about to play. Nobody knows the true strength of a card until the trick resolves, so you're bluffing and reading people using preferences you only half-know. It plays out over two short rounds, and the real prize isn't winning hearts, it's the conversations the reveals spark afterward.
