About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a card game that will make you think twice before betting big in Bid Coin! Here, the goal is to be clever with your tricks, but with a twist: you need to win an exact number of tricks that matches your bids, which are combinations of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. Won a trick and it exceeded your current bid? Well, you'll have to use one of your bid cards to increase the value, complicating things a bit. But if you're a ninja and manage to win exactly the number of tricks you bid, congratulations, you get rid of that round's bid cards. The first to empty all their bids is the big winner! And if everyone gets tangled up and no one can clear their bids after a few rounds, don't worry! We have a plan B: whoever is left with the lowest value of remaining bid cards takes the glory. It's a fast-paced game with rules that are easy to grasp but with enough depth to provide good laughs and discussions about who was the lucky (or unlucky) one this time. Perfect for those who enjoy a good trick-taking game with a touch of 'betting and guessing'. Ready to play?
