A unique trick taking game

Beautiful cards but a learning curve

Super fun new game, beautiful card art!

There was definitely a learning curve when I started learning this game, but it goes a lot faster if you look at product reviews or youtube "how to play" videos! The main reason I was getting confused was because the art looked so beautiful and detailed, I started equating that to the game's play mechanics and I made it a lot harder than it actually was. The cards are a little taller and a little thinner in the sides than normal "conventional" playing cards, but they're made of sturdy cardstock and they are SO SO beautiful. The game play is nicely paced and very fun, and it's definitely something you can have a conversation going on while playing. Highly recommend trying out this game, it looks so cool and it's fun to play!

Easy to pick up, pretty cards

This is basically spades but with different suites and some light rule changes. So, with that in mind, our group didn't have any issues learning the game. We've all played different trick taking games before so I'd say we are vaguely experienced when it comes to the genre. We played with 3 but are looking forward to try the team aspect of the 4 player rules.Suite colors could be difficult for people who have issues differentiating colors. The cards also have symbols on them but they're a bit more muddled compared to the colors. I would say that this game is not for young children (under 10) unless your child can play spades with no issues.

Super fun game!

Super fun game! Really easy to learn!

Fun game, but is complex to play. 8 years old and up.

This is a very unique card game and a bit complex to play, which takes a while to get a hang of. I was surprised at how nicely made the cards are; the paper isn't thin and flimsy, and the cards are clearly printed. Also the game comes in a nice box that you can store the cards and gold nuggets in. I would not recommend this game for young children, as it is a complex and tricky game - my 4th graders loved figuring the game out! With that being said, I would say the minimum age for this game is 8 years and up. The price of the game is reasonable too.
