About the game
Dino Trix: Tarot Adventures is a collection of three tarot games: Hold My Beer, Oopsie and Thread the Needle. All three trick-takers utilize a tarot deck and share similar card play and special powers. However, with scoring differences and different player counts, each game provides a distinct experience. Hold My Beer is a 3-player only game with bidding and special powers. Oopsie is a twist on Hold My Beer but is a fixed partnership game with slight differences in special powers and scoring. Thread the Needle is a 4-5 player game that shares the same basic card play and similar special powers but a completely new scoring system.
