Restrictions breed creativity, and designing a solo trick taking game seems like a challenge.

Gameplay

You play on 8 fiefs, valued 0-7. Each turn you draw 8 cards, and you have to win exactly that amount. The fief always leads, and you have to follow suit as usual. You also have 4 once per fief powers, and you get more as you collect them.

Components

Sideroom has a great production with high quality cards, and a nice small box to store them. The art is absolutely adorable, and it really ties in the theme even though the game is mostly abstract.

Conclusion

I absolutely love small solo games, and this one has it all. Quick, easy to play, lots of replay value, great decision space and small package. Sideroom has tons of amazing solo games, but this one is on the top easily.

Score: 9/10
