Who it's for

Trick-taking fans who want a spatial scoring layer instead of counting tricks alone.

Not for you if…

Constantly shifting trump frustrates you, or you want a pure card game without a placement puzzle.

Vibe's take

Slippery and sharp – shifting trump keeps every plan provisional, and winning the wrong trick can be worse than losing it.

About this game

A dinosaur trick-taking game where the trump suit changes with every single trick and the tiles you win get placed on an asymmetric mat that scores its own way.
