Trick & Snipers is a board game released in 2024 for 3–5 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by 宮野 華也 (Kaya Miyano) and its main mechanics are Trick-taking.
You can't win just by taking tricks! The ‘7’ super card is covered in gold foil. A very simple trick-taking game with special win conditions such as ‘Taking the 7’ or ‘Make 13 by playing another suit’. In this game you must-follow the lead suit. Tricks are won face down (not worth any points), or face up (worth 1 point) if the trick is won by a special win (including a 7 or adds up to 13 if suit wasn't followed). The winner is the one who achieves two points first wins face down! There are two conditions for special wins: taking a seven, and having a card in a different suit that adds up to 13 against the maximum card in the lead suit. Game includes English rules
