Trick Smith

Description

In a kingdom of master blacksmiths, the king has issued a challenge: forge the finest gear using rare metals, and claim whatever is left as your prize. But the more victories you aim for, the fewer resources you'll have to forge them. Outguess, outplay, and outlast your rivals at the royal forge. Trick Smith is a trick-taking game with Must Follow and a rotating trump system, where players bid on how many tricks they expect to win by placing cards aside from their hand. These cards cannot be used during the round, making bold bids riskier. Win a trick and place a card atop a matching bid to score; fail, and suffer a penalty. The game plays over three rounds, and the player with the most coins from completed bids wins.
