About the game

The demon Mephisto offers Faust worldly honor, wealth, and pleasure. Seeing this as a chance to pursue his ideals and satisfy his boundless curiosity, Faust accepts the deal. Faust vs Mephisto is a two-player trick-taking game where Faust must resist Mephisto's temptations and explore four domains for two rounds. If Faust takes all or none of the cards in any suit, Mephisto claims that domain. If Mephisto claims two or more domains, he wins the game. Otherwise, victory belongs to Faust. Whose ending will you choose—Faust's redemption or Mephisto's triumph? —description from the publisher
