Description

Get ready for a deliciously sneaky game of Trick Dumpling, where the goal is to fill your steamer with as many dumplings as possible. But be warned, things aren't always as they seem in this kitchen. With 2 to 5 players competing to create the perfect dish, you'll need to stay on your toes and keep a close eye on your coworkers. Some of them might seem like slackers, but rumors swirl that they could be the owner's nephew, getting a free pass to success. Or worse, they could be a spy from the shop next door, working to sabotage your culinary creations. In this easy-to-learn game, you'll need to master the art of hand management and trick-taking to come out on top. But here's the twist: when the total number of dumplings in each suit exceeds a certain limit, the highest numbered cards get discarded. It's a clever mechanic that adds a whole new level of strategy to the classic trick-taking formula. With playtime clocking in at just 15 to 30 minutes, Trick Dumpling is the perfect game for a quick and hilarious gaming session. So gather your friends, don your chef's hat, and get ready to dive into the world of Trick Dumpling, where humor, spies, and secret agents come together in a wildly entertaining game of culinary espionage.
