About the game
A team-based expansion for Magic Trick. The gameplay is the same as the base game, but now players are on two teams of two players each, trying to collectively take tricks equal to their mid-hand bids. There is also a variant to score extra points for deducing some cards out of the game. Copies were handed out at The Gathering of Friends 2024.

Questions and answers
Magic Trick: Teams supports 4 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Magic Trick: Teams is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Magic Trick: Teams for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
