About the game

What is Prey?

Prey is a 12-trick trick-taking game where 3-4 players play the first six tricks with one side of numbers (predators), then FLIP their cards over to play the final six (prey). You must follow suit if you can. The goal of the game is to be the first player to win your assigned number of tricks(determined by dice roll), twice. Can you manipulate your hand (and, the upside down cards in your hand!) in clever ways to win? —description from the publisher
