I've been caught out by this more times than I care to count!

Re: Swap Plays for Draws / 10 cards interaction

I believe the issue is that inflation was active, so the goal is really 11 cards in hand, so you didn't quite have enough.

New variant available - All Fours Calypso

Christmas has come a little bit early with the gift of a new variant ruleset now available to play - All Fours Calypso . This version of the game is structurally the same, but there are two key differences in the trick-play rules: If you hold a card of the led suit, you can either follow suit or pla...

Re: new project started on a game I am already working on

Hi, I am the developer of Quinto - apologies I have not done any work on this in a little while so have only just seen your message. The game I am developing is a different trick-taker called Quinto (https://www.parlettgames.uk/histocs/quinto.html) - I used the BGG id for bridge as a placeholder for...
