About the game
What you do in a play session
Dino Trix: Tarot Adventures is the ultimate tarot card collection that will have you and your friends laughing, scrambling, and of course, losing in wild bids. The set features Hold My Beer, Oopsie, and Thread the Needle – each with its own vibe but all using the same tarot deck and special powers that make all the difference. Hold My Beer is pure challenge for 3 players, with bids and abilities that can flip the game in unexpected ways. Oopsie turns the dynamics into fixed pairs, keeping the adrenaline of bidding but with slightly altered scoring and powers. Thread the Needle expands the circle to 4‑5 players, bringing a brand‑new scoring system that makes every game a fresh experience. What ties it all together is classic trick‑taking, but with a twist of predicting what will happen – the Predictive Bid. In every game, you’ll have to read opponents’ eyes, calculate odds, and decide whether to bid high or play it safe. The combination of teamwork and trick‑taking creates moments of pure tension and fun, and the tarot deck gives a visual charm that never goes out of style. If you love card games that demand strategy, communication, and a splash of craziness, Dino Trix: Tarot Adventures is the way to go.
In short, the collection offers three distinct experiences, each with its own scoring system and ideal player count, but all keeping the same tarot card essence, smart bidding, and a lot of fun in teams. Get ready to laugh, compete, and maybe even gain a dash of tarot wisdom along the way!
