The Fox in the Forest

A two-player trick-taking game where players vie to win a majority of tricks without overreaching. Standard suited cards decide tricks, while illustrated fairy characters grant one-off powers that can change trump, alter leads, force draws, and affect trick resolution. Players score based on how many tricks they take relative to their opponent; taking too many or too few reduces the reward. Rounds use hand management and timing of special abilities to balance aggression and restraint.

    Very clever trick taking for 2p, which is hard to find.

    Not a fan of trick taking games, this one still worked for me. It's a fun challenge to outsmart your opponent. There's a considerable amount of luck involved, too, though.
