About the game
Get ready for an unexpected appearance at your Doppelganger Tricks table with the Skeleton Promo! This expansion introduces a sinister, yet seemingly harmless, creature to your trick-taking games. The Skeleton is a promotional card that adds a touch of uncertainty and strategy to your plays, being exclusively compatible with the Brazilian edition published by Carteado Publisher.

During game setup, you'll shuffle one or both Skeleton cards with the rest of the deck. The big twist is that, at the end of dealing, one or two cards will remain undealt or unrevealed, creating a mystery about who might have the Skeleton, or if it's even in play! The rule is clear: the Skeleton is the lowest-value card, only surpassing other Skeleton cards and being the weakest of any suit. This means it will rarely grant you a trick win. But, like any good trick, there's a twist!

If the Skeleton is the only card of the initial suit on the table (because others were annihilated or no one else has the declared suit when it was the first card played), it can, surprisingly, win the trick! And if you're playing with both Skeletons and both appear in the same trick, they annihilate each other, adding even more chaos and laughter to the game. It's an expansion that promises to turn some tables and add extra spice to your trick-taking strategies!
