Trickster: The Fool's Wager

Tarot trick-taking card game

$5.99

iPad

Bid the exact number of tricks you will win — then make it true. A trick-taking card game played with a full tarot deck: solo vs cunning AI, or a private table for 2–6. A duel of nerve, dressed in tarot. Trickster is a trick-taking card game from the Preference family, reimagined with hand-painted tarot art and a warm, candle-lit table. Every hand, you wager exactly how many tricks you intend to win — bid too high and the debt drags you down, bid zero and survive untouched for a clean reward. There is no luck-only safety net: the must-trump rule forces hard choices, and a single wild card can flip a round on its head. BID THE EXACT TRUTH • Round sizes climb from 1 card up to a full hand and back down again. • Declare the precise number of tricks you'll take — the last bidder can't make the table's bids add up to the hand size, so someone is always squeezed. • Hit your bid for a big reward, overbid for scraps, underbid and pay the debt. MASTER THE TABLE • Follow suit when you can, trump when you must — you can't duck a void if you hold a trump. • The Poker is wild: play it to beat anything, or flip it to a plain seven for a quieter move. Lead with it and everyone must throw their highest trump. • Climb to the target score across the full round plan; highest net result wins. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Solo practice against 1–5 AI opponents across four difficulty tiers, from forgiving to merciless. • Host a private table for 2–6 players and share a code, or connect directly over your local network. • Optional Tarot Mode layers Major Arcana powers on top of the classic rules. CRAFTED TO LINGER • Hand-painted tarot card faces and an ornate, atmospheric interface. • Fully localized: English, Ukrainian, German, Italian, and French. • Built for iPad in landscape, with touch-first controls. Some card illustrations were created with the assistance of image-generation tools, then hand-selected, edited, and arranged by the developer. Game design, rules, code, UI, and writing are human-made.
