Predict your exact trick count each round as hand sizes grow and Wizard and Jester cards throw off your calculations.

Vibe's take
prediction satisfaction, escalating tension, trick-taking mastery, social card play
About this game
Predict exactly how many tricks you will win each round in this trick-taking classic with a twist. The hand size grows by one card each round, and four Wizard cards (always win) and four Jester cards (always lose) inject controlled chaos into your predictions. Scoring rewards precision: correctly predicting zero tricks is as valuable as predicting five. The escalating hand sizes create a satisfying arc from easy early rounds to nail-biting finales.
