About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare for a celestial and infernal clash in "Angels and Devils," a card game that will test your luck and strategy in trick-taking rounds! With five suits – wings, spears, arrows, fire, and flowers – the game introduces a unique twist: angel cards (white) and devil cards (black). The objective is simple: survive! Each round, you participate in tricks, and whoever wins them might end up with unwanted cards in hand. Devil cards are a constant danger; accumulating too many can cost you precious life points at the end of the round. But don't despair! There's a light at the end of the tunnel (or in the sky): angel cards can be your salvation, recovering your points under certain conditions. The game accelerates and the drama increases as life points dwindle, culminating in the end of the game as soon as a player reaches zero points. "Angels and Devils" is perfect for those who enjoy trick-taking games with an extra layer of risk and reward, where each card played can bring you closer to salvation or damnation. It's a fast-paced game with easy-to-learn rules, yet it offers interesting tactical decisions each round. Ideal for those seeking a dynamic card game experience with a touch of luck and misfortune, where risk management is as important as winning the trick. If you like games that keep you on the edge of your seat, "Angels and Devils" is a great choice to liven up your game nights.
