A duel of nerve, dressed in tarot
Trickster is a trick-taking card game from the Preference family, reimagined with hand-painted tarot art and a warm, candle-lit table. Every hand, you wager exactly how many tricks you intend to win — bid too high and the debt drags you down, bid zero and survive untouched for a clean reward. There is no luck-only safety net: the must-trump rule forces hard choices, and a single wild card can flip a round on its head.Bid the exact truth
- Round sizes climb from 1 card up to a full hand and back down again.
- Declare the precise number of tricks you'll take — the last bidder can't make the table's bids add up to the hand size, so someone is always squeezed.
- Hit your bid for a big reward, overbid for scraps, underbid and pay the debt.
Master the table
- Follow suit when you can, trump when you must — you can't duck a void if you hold a trump.
- The Poker is wild: play it to beat anything, or flip it to a plain seven for a quieter move. Lead with it and everyone must throw their highest trump.
- Climb to the target score across the full round plan; highest net result wins.
