📖 About This Game

Welcome to your first day of Genie school! Before you can become a certified Genie, you need to master the art of granting wishes...remember to always grant exactly 3 wishes. No more, no less! Third Wish is a trick taking game that has players aiming to win exactly 3 tricks each round. The deck is made up of 3 asymmetrical suits and special Genie cards. It is a must follow trick taker where the highest card, regardless of suit, wins the trick and the lowest leads the next trick. After a set number of tricks (10 for 3 players and 13 for 4 players) any players that took exactly 3 tricks will gain a gold lamp. If you take more than 3 tricks, you will gain a bust cube, which can help you avoid tricks in future rounds, but will have a chance to count against you at the end of the game. After a set number of rounds (short game is 6 for 3 players and 4 for 4 players) the player with the most lamps wins! —description from the designer
