About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a breathtaking costume party in Doppelganger Tricks! Here, elegance is key, but beware: there are doppelgängers among the guests, creatures capable of imitating others so well that they vanish when confronted with their exact copy. Style is everything, but only the real ones survive this card party. Doppelganger Tricks is a trick-taking game that will keep you glued to your seat, where special 'doppelgänger' cards have the power to mimic the lead suit. The trick? If a doppelgänger crosses paths with a card of the same suit and rank, both vanish from the trick in the blink of an eye! You'll have to use these treacherous cards masterfully to win tricks, get rid of threats, and, most importantly, guess what's real and what's pure illusion. It's a fast-paced game, with 40-minute matches for 3 to 4 players, perfect for those who enjoy strategic thinking, bluffing, and having fun with unexpected twists. The complexity is moderate, ideal for those with some experience in card games looking for a new and intriguing challenge. The art and theme promise full immersion in this glamorous and mysterious world, where each trick is a new chance to stand out or disappear into the crowd. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this novelty that promises to shake up the world of card games!
