Shards of Creation
Cosmere trick-taking where each divine Shard is a suit with its own rules.

A trick-taking game set in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere where each of the eight Shards is its own suit with unique card values and abilities, and every game shuffles a different combination together.
Who it's for
Trick-taking fans who want asymmetric suits, and Sanderson readers who want the Cosmere on the table.
Not for you if…
You prefer classic uniform suits where the trump logic stays identical from game to game.
Vibe's take
Sharp and shifting – the suits behave so differently that half the fun is recalibrating your read of the hand each time a new Shard combination hits the table.
