Other Trick Taking Games

FIASCO CARD GAME

The game Fiasco is believed to have been a popular pastime of rouges and royalty where players took great delight in upsetting the plans of their opponents. It's a game that is great fun and very easy to learn but is also tough to master and is geared for the advanced card player. Choose your favorite suit and try to collect all of the cards in that suit. You can play high cards to try to win the pot and accumulate points but this leaves you open for your opponents to hit you with Fiasco penalty cards. You can lay low but this may cause you to lose the chance to win with your points. Knowing when to be on the offensive and when to play defense are crucial as you try to outwit your opponents. The player with the highest score after the deck has been exhausted three times wins! Fiasco comes with 54 cards and a rule book.

Average play time and difficulty rating are noted for classic games like Gin Rummy, Crazy Eights, or Pinochle. You'll also find Court Character card illustrations (modeled after the work of French card artist, Rouen) identified and explained. This set is definitely gift-giving material for the avid card players in your life.
