About the game

What is Monster Trick?

You won't play just one trick at a time in Stichling, but up to four! This introduces many exciting choices: Serve this here? Those cards there? Do I open a new trick? With so many options you need to plan ahead carefully and find the right time to secure the most points. Can you predict the number of tricks you will win? There are other trick prediction games, but none where you must watch up to 4 tricks at the same time. Make exactly the number of tricks you predict, not one too many, nor one too few. If you lose your concentration for even a minute, your wily opponents will take your tricks away … The winner is the player who has the most victory points at the end of three rounds.
