Tricks (1995)

About this game

A card game. A game consists of two hands. In each hand, players buy 8 cards, bid, play their cards,then score. There are rules for buying cards even from opponents. Scoring is based on a bid card that tells you what the value of a bid will be. An example would be. Bid 5 win 3 = score 30 points, because the bid card shows that for any bid which results in (+ or - 2) of the bid scores the bid times 6.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 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.
