Who it's for

Groups who want a cooperative campaign with real mechanical bite and a fresh spin on trick-taking.

Not for you if…

You want one-shot sessions with no bookkeeping, or you find limited communication rules frustrating.

Vibe's take

Tight and nervy – you can see the tile you need, you just can't say so, and the campaign clock turns every sloppy trick into a debt you carry forward.
