Angels and Devils is a board game released in 2023 for 3–4 players and 30–45 minutes per game. It was designed by T親方 (Master T) and its main mechanics are Trick-taking.
In this must-follow trick-taking game, there are five suits (wings, spears, arrows, fire, and flowers), but the biggest feature is that there are two types of "angel cards (white)" and "devil cards (black)". If you win a trick and get a devil card, after the round ends, your life points will decrease according to the number of devil cards you got. However, if you can successfully acquire angel cards under certain conditions, you can recover your life points. The game ends when even one player has 0 life points.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Angels and Devils is 30–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
