Hit The Slopes!

If you are a fan of bidding and trick taking this fast playing card game (3-5 players) is for you! It features a fun skiing/snowboarding theme sure to be a hit with not just skiers and boarders but anyone. Designed by Jeff & Kristin Irving. The trump suit and hand count changes each hand making bidding a real challenge, depending on the roll of the die. Roll "Hit The Slopes!" on the die and you can pick trump after looking at your hand but roll "Yard Sale" (ski/board slang for crashing and your gear flying everywhere) and you lose your deal! There are two decks: The playing card deck which features four suits (green circle, blue square, black diamond and double black diamond) and each card features the name of a well known ski slope. AND The hand count deck which determines how many cards each player will be dealt and, on even numbered hands, any bonus points players receive for bidding correctly that hand! —description from the publisher
