Description

Dealer's Dilemma is a fast-paced trick-taking game designed for 3 players, where precision bidding is key to success. In this 30 to 45 minute game, players will need to strategically discard 2 cards from their hands to bid on the number of tricks they think they can take. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, but don't be fooled - the bidding process is where the real challenge lies. With two levels of bidding, players can choose to play it safe with an easy bid, making two predictions, or take a risk with a single prediction, hoping to reap the rewards. As the dealer for the round, you'll face a tough decision, choosing between two undealt cards to determine the trump suit and lead card. This unpredictable element adds an extra layer of excitement to the game, keeping players on their toes. With its unique blend of hand management, predictive bidding, and trick-taking mechanics, Dealer's Dilemma is a thrilling card game that will keep you coming back for more. Designed by Shreesh Bhat and published in 2023, this base game is perfect for those looking for a fun and challenging experience with friends. As Carol LaGrow says, "It is risky bid-ness," but the potential payoff is well worth the risk.
