Dwarf King

Candra Says: “A fun, chaotic trick-taking game! If you want a hardcore strategic trick-taker, go for The Crew. But if you want something with that trick-taking strategy in a more casual set-up, check out The Dwarf King! The scoring rules change hand to hand, so you can’t get too comfortable!”

The Dwarf King(Le Roi des Nains) is a trick-taking game played with a deck of 53 cards: three suits (Dwarves, Goblins and Knights) of thirteen cards each and fourteen special cards. The game also includes twenty contract tiles.

The game is played over seven rounds. At the start of a round, the dealer randomly draws one special card, reads it to all the players, shuffles it into the deck, then deals the deck out evenly to all players. (The dealer for the first round is the game’s owner; for subsequent rounds, the dealer is the one who took the 5 of Dwarves in the previous round.) T
