A sharp trick-taker where you bid with colored chips and pay dearly for winning the wrong tricks.
Who it's for
Card-game groups who love exact-bid trick-taking with bite and careful prediction, and anyone wanting a clever half-hour filler with claws.
Not for you ifβ¦
You dislike trick-taking or punishing scoring. Missing a bid can hurt badly, and the color-chip system takes a round or two to click.
Vibe's take
A mean, precise trick-taking puzzle where nailing exactly which tricks you take, by color, matters more than raw card strength.
A trick-taking game where you bid by grabbing colored chips, one per trick you think you will win. Follow suit, dump a card, or trump with blue, but land a trick in a color you have no chip for and it stings with penalty points. There is even a Sluffer role whose whole job is feeding unwanted tricks to everyone else.
