📖 About This Game

This game is a Barbu derivative that was designed to have more challenging scoring. It uses 32 cards and has six sub-games, five of which are trick-taking games and one of which involves placing cards in a domino-style layout. In four of the five trick-taking games the object is to avoid taking tricks.
