Seas Of Strife Rio Grande Games, Trick Taking Card Game, Ages 14+

SEA OF STRIFE: A clear and beautiful day at sea! That’s what you had planned when you left port this morning. Unfortunately, the ocean is often fickle, and today has turned out to be no exception. Now you must face a variety of hazards before you can reach safety! Can you navigate the troubled waters to return to port with your boat (and your sanity) intact? Seas of Strife is a trick-taking card game where the players try to avoid taking tricks! Each player has a hand of cards. In each turn, every player will play one card. Once each player has played a card, the player that played the “best” card takes all of the cards just played, also called a “trick.” However, the goal of the game is to take the fewest tricks each round, so avoid playing the best card as much as you can. Sometimes your opponents will conspire against you, forcing you to take a trick against your wishes. But, with clever play, you might be the only one who safely makes it back to port! Seas of Strife is played over several rounds. A round consists of as many “tricks” as the number of cards each player has at the beginning of the round. Type: Card Games. Players: 3-6 Players. Length: 30-60 minutes. This is Texas Showdown by Mark Major re-themed.
