New variant available - All Fours Calypso

[mandrel]

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 play a card of your personal trump suit (in similar fashion to another popular Trinidadian game - All Fours (hence the name): https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... anallfours)
• If a player leads a card of their personal trump suit, in order to beat it a player needs not only to play a card of their personal trump suit, but they must play a card of higher rank

Rules are described here: https://repiqued-interests.co.uk/games/ ... iant-swiss.

And to get you in the mood, here is one of Kitch's Christmas tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEQtZBpejo4.
