About this game
A trick-taking game designed specifically for two players, where winning too many tricks is just as bad as winning too few. Score high by winning 0-3 tricks (humble) or 7-9 tricks (greedy), but winning 4-6 is the worst score. Fairy-tale themed cards have special powers: the Fox lets you swap the decree card, the Woodcutter lets you draw a card. The odd-numbered scoring system creates a unique push-pull dynamic where you must carefully calibrate how many tricks to win each round.
