A short, sharp trick-taking game with an unusual goal: don't take your tricks too early, but don't wait too long either. You need to grab the tricks you're owed as late as possible, because dumping your cards at the wrong moment can leave you with nothing to show for it.
Who it's for
Trick-taking fans who want a quick, brain-tickling twist on the genre and enjoy games of nerve and timing.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a straightforward classic trick-taker or a longer, meatier game. The offbeat scoring can confuse newcomers on the first hand, and it leans best on five players.
Vibe's take
Agonising timing decisions in a tiny package, every card a bet on whether to pounce now or wait.
