Description

In Texas Showdown, a trick-taking game for 3 to 6 players, the goal is to avoid taking tricks as skillfully as possible. The game is simple to learn and can be explained quickly, making it easy to dive into a 45-minute play session. Players are dealt an even number of cards and take turns playing a single card, with the goal of not winning the trick. The twist in Texas Showdown is that playing off-suit doesn't necessarily keep you safe, as the suit can change during the trick. The player who wins the trick is the one who played the highest card of the most frequently played color. The game continues until someone reaches the target number of tricks taken, and the player who has captured the fewest tricks wins. With its simple rules and strategic gameplay, Texas Showdown is a fun and engaging game for anyone looking for a quick and exciting card game experience.
