Who it's for

Card players who like trick-taking with a twist and enjoy weighing which color to commit and when to hold back.

Not for you if…

You dislike trick-taking games generally, or want something with a board and physical components rather than pure cards.

🦊

Vibe's take

Tactical and quick with a mischievous streak, since the humble cards keep the mighty ones honest.

About this game

A trick-taking card game with an unusually charming potato theme, where the smallest cards can sometimes beat the biggest. Each of four colors can be played only once per trick, and the three lowest yellow cards actually win if any of the three highest red cards show up. Each color has its own scoring deck with its own risk-reward math.
