📖 About This Game

In this trick-taking game, winning a Trick isn’t always desired because each card has a ‘Science’ (+) and ‘Madness’ (-) side that could challenge the balance of players’ Score Piles. Trick winners take an opponent’s card into one of their matching Score Piles - 2 suits of which are imbalanced from the start - with the goal to reduce each suit to 0. The lowest total score wins! —description from the publisher
