Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- advanced variant rule cards — Optional rules that modify how tricks, following, and penalties work each round, including class/revolution twists.
- ally/party leader mechanic — The party leader selects an ally by naming a card; together they must win a target number of tricks to gain bonus points.
- revolution and open-hand variant — If conditions are met, a revolution can be declared which may reveal hands and switch card rankings for the rest of the round.
- Simultaneous reveal — If conditions are met, a revolution can be declared which may reveal hands and switch card rankings for the rest of the round.
- trick-taking with bidding to determine the Trump suit — Players bid to set the Trump color/condition for the round; the longest bid determines the party leader and ally setup.
