Morff is a board game released in 2008 for 4 players and 30 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Team-Based Game and Trick-taking.
Morff is a pretty standard partner trick taking game with all the typical rules of trick taking games. There are 5 suits with numbers 1-8 in each suit. The start player plays a card, and everyone must follow the suit led. If a player does not have the suit led, he may trump the trick. The unique twist of Morff is that there is a trump changer side deck. Before each trick, the top card of the trump changer deck is flipped. Most of the time, the card will determine the trump color for the trick. However, some cards will make players swap hands with their partner or swap hands with opponents, so you never know for sure if you will have your hand of cards for the next trick, making hand management difficult. Scoring is simple, with each trick being worth 10 points, and the last trick of a hand worth 30!
Morff 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 Morff is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
Morff has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
