I’ve added two new games to Trickster’s Table since I last wrote: Trick or Bid and Cincos Verdes.
In Trick or Bid by Jeremy Zero, once per round, you can choose a bid card from a trick you won and its face value becomes your bid. Trump is the suit of the first card that is bid. The rules are simple but they enable tactical depth and require careful planning.
Cincos Verdes by Taiki Shinzawa adds a clever twist to standard trick-taking. Any card can be played as itself or, in certain situations, as a green 5. The values on cards you win are added to your tally, and you’re aiming to get as close to 25 points as possible without going over.
