What to Expect

You get short, 20-minute trick-taking rounds for 3–6 players where teams are reshuffled each round and new rules are added. The game mixes hand management, deduction and variable player powers, creating unpredictable, social gameplay. Team cards and evolving rules force constant adaptation and encourage bluffing and reading opponents. Ideal for lively social play with friends or family.

Who Is This Game For?

Suitable from age 10; its short duration and accessible rules make it a family/light-gamer title. Players who enjoy trick-taking, alliances and deduction will appreciate it. No deep prior experience is required, though familiarity with trick-taking helps.

How It Works

Each round forms new teams, emphasizing alliances and shifting objectives. The core is trick-taking combined with hand management: players play cards to win or avoid tricks. Variable player powers and round-specific rule changes modify card interactions and hierarchies. Deduction matters as you interpret teammates' and opponents' plays.
