A Duel of Nerve Dressed in Tarot

Trickster is a captivating trick-taking card game inspired by the classic Preference family, beautifully reimagined with stunning hand-painted tarot art and an immersive, candle-lit atmosphere. In this high-stakes strategic challenge, every hand requires you to wager exactly how many tricks you can win. You must navigate a delicate balance: bid too high and the resulting debt will drag you down, or aim for a zero bid to survive unscathed and secure a clean, tactical victory. With no luck-based safety net, the mandatory must-trump rule forces you to make difficult decisions where a single wild card can completely flip the round in your favor.

Bid the Exact Truth

Strategic bidding is the heart of the gameplay in Trickster. Players must carefully analyze their hand strength while managing the shifting pressure of the table.

• Experience dynamic scaling as round sizes climb from a single card up to a full hand and back down again.
• Declare the precise number of tricks you intend to take, forcing opponents into uncomfortable positions since the final bidder cannot allow the total bids to match the hand size.
• Master the risk-reward system: hit your exact bid for maximum points, settle for scraps if you overbid, or face significant debt for falling short.

Master the Strategy

To dominate the competition, you must refine your card game strategy and adapt to the evolving state of the table.

• Stay disciplined by choosing when to follow suit and mastering the mandatory trump mechanics to avoid falling behind.
• Utilize the Poker wild card strategically: use its immense power to beat any card, flip it to a plain seven for a subtle tactical shift, or lead with it to force opponents to play their highest trump cards.
• Outmaneuver your rivals across the full round plan to achieve the highest net score and claim victory.
