About the game

What is Short Zoot Suit?

Short Zoot Suit is a trick-taking game that exists in the land of Bollywoods, or Bear Hollywood. The bears are out tonight, looking good, but making sure their suits aren't too short! Players try to balance the number of tricks they win with the number of times they played off-suit, or short-suit. At the start of the hand, players create a personal draw deck out of some of the cards they are dealt. Drawing from this deck can help players manipulate their hands for later play and short-suiting. The game ends when any player is out of cards, allowing for player-defined hand lengths. —description from designer
