- Trick-Taking — Players play cards to win tricks, with the highest number in a specific color winning the trick, not necessarily the leader's card.

Quotes (from this video)
- Keep or Cull the series where we play a lot of games and then decide if we want to keep it in the collection or call them out of the collection.
- It's a double cow, which is sad because I really wanted to like this game. And it's not that I didn't like it. It's just that it was fine.
- But it was a in this genre I enjoyed it, but I'm the more of these I play, the more I'm like, I want to go back and play Fury Dracula, which is basically more straightforward where it doesn't take 16 hours to play.
- I was a little unsure because it was fun. But there's so many games. It's I'm I'm very happy to have played it, but I will never choose to play it again.
- Probably Bone Wars or Cudilero. So, I'm going to go Kudro because you had the other one.
- And best uh I think I liked the trick takers the most.
- But here we have a crazy good deal for you for $0 and0 or whatever currency you use in your country. You can subscription to this series forever.
