Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Rage, players bid on the exact number of tricks they aim to win using a special deck with six suits and zero through fifteen cards. The trump suit changes randomly and can be altered during play via special cards. Over ten hands with decreasing hand sizes, players must adapt their strategy, managing their hand carefully to meet their bids amid changing conditions.
Who Is This Game For?
Rage is a family-friendly card game suitable for 2 to 10 players aged 8 and up. With about 45 minutes per game, it fits well into casual game nights. The rules are accessible, though players should be comfortable with basic trick-taking concepts and adapting to special card effects.
How It Works
Players bid on how many tricks they expect to win, then try to take exactly that number. The gameplay combines hand management and trick-taking mechanics. Special cards can modify the trump suit or affect how tricks are counted, creating a dynamic play experience over ten rounds with shrinking hands.
What Makes It Special
Based on the traditional game Oh Hell!, Rage was released in 1983 with a proprietary deck featuring six colored suits and six types of special cards. These elements differentiate it from classic trick-taking games. It belongs to the Uno family and has digital versions on Board Game Arena and Tabletopia. The designer is uncredited.
