Tricky Badger (engl.)

Description

Tricky Badger is a family game for 3 to 5 players aged 10+ with a playing time of 30 minutes. Protect endangered European hamsters from badgers in this trick-taking, set-collection card game. Players compete over five rounds, choosing collection cards that determine whether the highest or lowest card wins each trick, with trump cards and trampling mechanics adding strategic depth.

Deep in the European forests lives the endangered wild European hamster. Your mission is to protect these hamsters from their natural predator: the badger. Tricky Badger is a trick-taking, set-collection card game played over five rounds. Each round begins with each player receiving nine cards, with pink always serving as trump. Ten collection cards are laid out face up from the deck. At the start of each trick, the active player—whose position rotates—chooses which collection card will be awarded to the winner of that trick. Each collection card features an arrow indicating whether the highest or lowest card in the trick wins. The active player leads a card, and other players must follow suit if possible. Certain cards can trample others, removing them from contention in the trick. If a trump card is played, the highest or lowest non-trampled trump wins the trick; if no trump is played, the highest or lowest non-trampled card of the suit led takes the trick. After nine tricks, the round ends. Discard the remaining collection card, deal new cards, and lay out ten new collection cards. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
