Excellent trick taking game. Beautiful production, rules all seem to work together, all the makings of a classic.

This takes a couple plays to get it down but then it's an amazing trick-taking game

This reminds me some of Nokosu Dice, in the sense that you have dice that are also part of your hand. There is no bidding here, but the multitude of trump suits (each suit is trumped by one other) plus the ability to really control when you are going to play cards by dodging them with your X's makes for a very strategic game. Even more so, the high cards are negative points and the low cards are where you earn points, so every trick counts and every decision is important. Delightful tension in this one - it's a really good trick taker!

I enjoyed this more than a lot of trick-tackers. I like the rotating trump and how the battle for 2nd place on X cards creates an interesting push your luck. Also the dice are neat in how they can give you an out on tricks. Plus, the art is gorgeous.

“Breezy plus” — Zee Garcia Greatly enjoyed my 1st play at 3 players. Good amount of flexibility with the card play. Love the scoring system and push your luck nature of Xs. Strategy and tactics are opaque in just the right way to keep me engaged with the decision space the whole time (when to use your Xs, what dice to take, when use the dice). I do like weird trick takers, so your results may vary.
