Pikoko (2018)

About this game

Pikoko is a trick-taking game that follows conventional trick-taking rules with two twists: Each round, players receive a hand of eight cards, but they don't see their own cards — only cards held by the other players. Each player plays cards of the player to their left, not their own cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 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.
