Description

Joffre is a quick and easy to learn trick-taking card game that's perfect for 3 to 4 players to enjoy together. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, it's a great option for a fun and fast-paced game night. The game has a rich history, dating back to World War I when it was first published as a propaganda game in 1914. It was later renamed Joffre, after the victorious French general, and has been a fan favorite ever since. In Joffre, players are divided into two teams and bid on the number of tricks they think they'll win. The game is played with a special deck where each suit represents a different army from WWI, adding a unique and interesting twist to the classic trick-taking mechanic. The deck also includes four special cards, including the "Joffre" and "Kaiser" cards, which can either earn you extra points or penalize you. With its simple rules and short playtime, Joffre is a great introduction to trick-taking games and is sure to provide plenty of excitement and challenge for players of all skill levels. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a fun and engaging game, Joffre is definitely worth checking out.
