Gameplay

This game is a trick-taking game where you need to make predictions of exactly how many and which tricks you're gonna win.

Prediction

At the beginning of a game, each player on their turn will make a decision of which tricks they will win by picking up color cards (one per trick they aim to win) from the table.

If you would take a card that doesn't exist, take it from another player and give them a white card. White cards are jokers and can be used for any trick.

Tricks

Trick game where you must follow the suit. Largest card wins. Red is trump.

Player who wins the trick, must return one card of the leading color (or red if they played a red card to win) to the center. If they cannot, they receive a black card worth -3 points.

Scoring

At the end of the game (after all 15 cards have been played), each colored seal left is -2 points and every black is -3 points. Whites are worth -4 points.

Player with most points wins.

Saboteur

Instead of taking any color cards, player can choose to be the saboteur. In that case, they take 4 black cards. During the round, if other player needs to take a black card, they'll take it from the saboteur first.

When scoring, saboteur gets -1 point for each black card they have left, maximum of -4.
