Smirk & Dagger Trickarus Card Game - Trick-Taking Game
Smirk & Dagger Trickarus is a trick-taking card game where Icarus and his friends fly higher with each trick won, but players must avoid soaring too close to the sun. Dual-sided cards show one value during the day and another at night, and playing any 5 card rotates the deck to change day to night, flipping card values. The game challenges players to balance winning and losing tricks as they navigate the shifting sky.
Highlights
- Dual-Sided Cards: Each card has one value during the day and another at night, with both values adding to 10
- Day-Night Mechanic: Playing any 5 card rotates all cards, turning high ranks into low ranks and vice versa
- Trump Cards: Sun cards are trump during the day and Moon cards are trump at night
- Quick to Learn: Rules simple enough to teach in a few minutes for new trick-taking players
- Strategic Depth: Mid-range cards and seemingly weak hands gain power when the day-night cycle flips values
