Good Little Tricks (2017)

About this game

Good Little Tricks is a compact trick-taking game for 2–5 players with a bespoke deck of 27 cards, split into 6 coloured suits of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 cards. The game is an ‘evasion’ game, similar to Hearts, in which the aim is to avoid taking cards, and while Good Little Tricks uses many of the conventions of standard trick-taking games it has some new tricks of its own! “The highlight of the show.” — Richard Breese, after playtesting the game at the UK Games Expo 2017

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
