Description

In The Bark Side, you can unleash your inner bad dog and get away with it, as long as you're not the one left holding the bag in the end. This trick-taking card game is all about strategy and a little bit of mischief, and it's easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. With 3 to 6 players, you'll be dealing with a sixty-card deck, where each player is dealt a hand of ten cards and then passes two cards to their right-hand neighbor, setting the stage for a round of clever maneuvering. As you play, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to play and when, trying to avoid being the one who ends up with the highest card and loses the round. The game is full of fun twists, like the "tail-tucking move" where you discard your lowest card, and the ability to play sets of cards to really shake things up. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, The Bark Side is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for a casual game night with friends. Designed by 円卓P and published in 2018, this base game is a great addition to any card game collection, and its simple rules make it easy to dive right in and start playing.
