Filipino Fruit Market

About the game

What is Filipino Fruit Market?

Scheduled for Essen 2009 This game contains two original trick-taking games set in Philippine markets. Game #1 (Tindahan) is a cross between a majority game and a trick taking game. In each trick players have to decide if they want to play a card (to win a trick or to get rid of cards - remaining cards count negative in the End) or fight for a majority at a fruit stall. In Game #2 (Bastos!) every player has a suit in which they can never win tricks but which allows them to change the values for the cards won in tricks.
