Zaraba Twenty-Two (ザラバ22)

Zaraba Twenty-Two is one of the finalists for the 2020 Trick Taking Party Awards. It is a three-player only trick-taking game using a subset of a standard deck of cards.

In the game, the lead player will play 2 cards to each trick, and the first one that is "followed" becomes the lead suit; the other card is moved to a stock chart area.

At the end of a hand, suits without any cards are worth 0 points; suits with cards in the area whose ranks sum to 22 or more are worth -1; and suits whose ranks sum 1 to 21 will be worth positive points.

Players score points for the cards won in tricks and the player with the most points after a number of rounds wins.
