Hello BGA Reviewers 
Heckin Hounds, an interesting twist to trick-taking is now in alpha!
Heckin Hounds is a 2-7 player trick-taking game exploring the perils of professional dog walking in the Underworld.
Basically players cannot see their own hands but other players' hands.
The shift leader of the round can see all hands (including theirs) but must hint other players their cards a bit, similar to Hanabi.
After receiving hints and optionally exchanging cards, players bid tricks, play cards and scores accordingly.
Players who end the game with the highest or negative score are eliminated, then the player with the lowest score wins.
