Description
A 3-player trick-taking game with a must-follow trump card, but there's a 4th player (a robot: 'Robo' in play).
Suits are 1 to 13 in 4 colors. Robo will play cards according to their program, so it depends on their program whether to play small and large number cards when following suit.
You can win up to 3 tricks out of 12 tricks, but if you win 4 tricks or more, you lose points.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- AI sequencing — robot hand is face-up and follows a deterministic pattern based on position
- programming — robot hand is face-up and follows a deterministic pattern based on position
- three-player only with robot filler — you always end up in a four-player setup nominally, since one seat is a robot
- Trick-taking — traditional trick-taking with a robot opponent influencing play
