📖 About This Game
ZeroBid is not your typical card game. Instead of racing to win every trick, players must carefully balance their bids and play to capture exactly the number of tricks they predict. Bid too high, and you’ll fall short. Bid too low, and you’ll overshoot your mark. The result? A thrilling mix of strategy, psychology, and luck that keeps every round fresh, competitive, and full of surprises.
A unique twist on classic trick-taking. Built on the familiarity of a traditional poker deck, ZeroBid introduces custom mechanics and cards that completely reshape the way players approach each hand. The goal isn’t to dominate—it’s to outthink your opponents, anticipate the flow of the game, and sometimes even win by cleverly losing. The rules are simple enough for newcomers to learn quickly, but layered enough to keep experienced card players hooked.
Perfect for 2–6 players. Whether you’re looking for a quick head-to-head duel or a lively game night with friends and family, ZeroBid scales effortlessly. Each round plays quickly, so there’s no waiting around, and the shifting dynamics mean no two games feel the same. You’ll be laughing, bluffing, and second-guessing each other from the very first shuffle.
Designed for real players. ZeroBid includes 91 custom cards with a premium linen finish that feels smooth in your hand and shuffles like a dream. These are casino-quality cards—made to last through countless nights of play, without the flimsiness or fading you’d get from cheaper decks. The compact box slips easily into a backpack or travel bag, making it the perfect companion for vacations, camping trips, or downtime on the go.
