Description

Cupid: Tricks & Tactics is a clever and engaging card game designed for two players, where simplicity meets strategic depth. Despite having straightforward rules that can be explained quickly, this 2021 release by Mark S Ball offers a challenging and fun experience that can last anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes. The game's core mechanics, including hand management, memory, and trick-taking, ensure that both high and low cards are valuable for offense and defense, keeping players on their toes. As players navigate the game, they must carefully track what's been played to make informed decisions, making it a game of attention and strategy. There's no such thing as a safe lead, unless you're paying close attention to the cards that have been played. With its unique blend of mechanics, Cupid: Tricks & Tactics requires players to manage their cards effectively, know when to take control, and when to cede the lead. This delicate balance of power and strategy makes for a thrilling experience, as players compete to emerge victorious in this game of wit and cunning, inspired by the tale of the Roman god of desire.
