It may sound like sacrilege, but I've never liked trick-taking. I grew up around Bridge and Euchre and Hearts, but they never really did anything for me. As a result, I've ignored all the "modern" trick-taking games like Wizard, Skull King, and The Crew. Something changed the other day when I watched a video of Cat In The Box, and suddenly I realized that there were interesting things happening in this space and I should pay more attention.

Now I'm on a quest to buy up all the greatest trick-taking games out there! My only caveat is that they should work with 2 or 3, as I'm not really a fan of team play and I don't often have 4 available.

You are a straight up legend sir! I loved that game to death! No other card game I've played since has had the same level of crunch in deck building and gameplay that doomtown had.

Are you working on any other games atm or you got your hands full with managing the lemmy instance? :>

I got my hands full by managing the Ai horde ๐Ÿ˜… but before that I made my own little FOSS Slay the spire clone called Hypnagonia ๐Ÿ˜‰
