Calypso is a card game invented in the 1950s, which enjoyed a brief craze before being somewhat forgotten, but for a small number of players, and inclusion in occasional card game books.
It is a trick-taking game for four, played in partnerships, using four identical 52-card packs. Each player has their own trump suits, with players aiming to collect 'calypsos' (runs of all thirteen cards in their trump suit) using cards won in tricks.
