Start for freeWhat to Expect
Mü & More offers a variety of trick-taking games using bidding and team-based mechanics. The highest bidder becomes the Chief, who partners with another player to fulfill their bid, while others try to prevent this. Players choose trumps and play cards to win tricks, blending strategic bidding, partnership, and card play with several game variants included.
Who Is This Game For?
This game is suited for experienced card players aged 11 and up who enjoy complex trick-taking and bidding mechanics. With a 60-minute playtime, it fits well in a game night setting. Prior knowledge of trick-taking games helps in mastering its strategic depth.
How It Works
Mü & More uses Trick-taking, Bids As Wagers, and Team-Based Game mechanics. Players bid how many tricks they expect to win; the highest bidder becomes Chief, the second highest Vice. Both choose trump, the Chief selects a partner, and together they try to reach their bid, while opponents attempt to stop them.
