AndagainMA: Weird Trick-Taking Games Games in which a player can play multiple cards in the same trick, such as The Great Dalmuti, Tichu, etc. I'd be interested to see, and link to, a web page devoted to such games. The distinctive things about this game are: the phase that happens before you declare which of your tiles you are going for; and the role of the player "in the know." For reasons that will become obvious, this role rotates from hand to hand. At the end of the game, you have 2 piles, one of appliances you were collecting, one of appliances you weren't. home1.gte.net /vze1sw8q/Games/WTTG.html   (3782 words)

Relationship Tightrope review, by Tom Vasel Sometimes taking a lot of sticks is a good thing, as long as you know that you can get rid of them all. The game was fairly simple to teach; although I usually play through a couple of rounds, because I found that some new folk have a hard time grasping how the different colored sticks cancel each other out.

BookBytes - Fantasy Unfortunately it wasn't a trick; the magician no more understands why it happened than anybody else does, and only the fact that the event was captured on film prevents the police from treating it as a kidnapping or some kind of parental child abuse. A government takes its talented children and trains them by way of video games to be warriors against interplanetary enemies--but some of the war games aren't games at all.

Mit List und Tuecke: a Board Game Review Suffice it to say that this is a 4-suited trick-taking game for 4-6 players in which the first card led forms the trump suit for that trick, the high trumper takes 2 cards of his choice while the low card player takes the remainder and must lead. The chief downside to the game may be the relatively small amount of control a player has over his own destiny, precisely because of this giving up of the lead and the ability of other players to collectively deliver up negative cards to the trick leader. In addition, the nature of the game seems to cause players, at least our players, to spend a lot of time considering their options, which runs counter to expectation in a card game and may be generate unwelcome waiting periods. spotlightongames.com /review/mlut.html   (1019 words)

Some Renaissance card games: Deck, and Game list This game is played by an even number of players in two teams; the most common numbers are four and six, but the literature also mentions games with two and eight players. Based on a more-or-less arbitrary comparison of three modern games using this kind of wildcards (Venezuelan, Uruguayan, and Jaenese Truco) I will rule that the point-value of the Pendanga and the Pericón is that of the highest card of the game, plus one point of premium for the Pendanga, and two for the Pericón. It seems that in many gambling games of the time, it was customary to play with one or two wildcards, by agreement of the players. astro.uchicago.edu /~ruben/cards/reconstructions/reconstructions3.html   (3904 words)

Control Nut! review by Tom Vasel James carries around a crate of games and is very willing to play and teach them - being in fact one of the best teachers of games I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Finally, players take any cards they had left in their hands (if the other team ran out of cards first), divide it by four, and add that to their total. This game is an amazing first effort from James, not only are the rules well designed and playtested, the components are also very nicely done - it looks very professional. www.thedicetower.com /reviews/controlnut.htm   (1792 words)

Games, Games, Games A bidding, trick-taking card game where there are some funky rules such as the 2 taking if there is a pure suit hand, etc. Also the object is to get points, not tricks which changes the flavour quite a bit.

Card Games - Online Gaming Rules For example in a trick taking game it is easier to have all one's cards of the same suit together, whereas in a rummy game one might sort them by rank or by potential combinations. An exception to this may be made in games with fixed partnerships, in which it may be felt that the partner(s) of the person who broke a rule should also not benefit. That person takes all of the cards in the pack, stacks them together so that they are all the same way up and the same way round, and shuffles them. www.cardgames.freegames.eu.com   (2067 words)
