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.

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.
