Description

Gummi Trick is a fast-paced and fun trick-taking game that's easy to learn and plays quickly, with each game lasting around 15 minutes. Designed by Hisashi Hayashi and published in 2023, it's a great option for 2 to 5 players looking for a lighthearted and engaging experience. The game is all about clever hand management, as you try to outmaneuver your opponents by playing the right cards at the right time. With a deck featuring multiple colors of cards numbered 1-10, you'll need to think strategically about which cards to play and when to hold back. The gameplay is simple yet exciting, with each player receiving a hand of nine cards and three face-down cards that add an element of surprise to the game. As players take turns playing cards, they must follow the color played previously if they can, or throw off a different color if they can't. But here's the twist - even if you can follow suit, you can choose to play one of your face-down cards instead, adding a layer of unpredictability to the game. After twelve tricks, the points are tallied up, with face-up cards worth their listed number and face-down cards worth 1 point. The player with the highest score wins, making Gummi Trick a thrilling and competitive experience that's sure to leave you wanting more.
