About the game

What you do in a play session

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is a clever little card game that packs strategic depth into a tiny 28-card deck. With two identical suits (Sun and Moon), you and your partner form a secret cult while collecting souls and controlling temples. The twist? Random card distribution means you'll often need opponents to play cards FOR you to complete your master plan. Rounds fly by, but points can skyrocket unexpectedly - it's trick-taking meets risk assessment with a dash of elegant bluffing. Perfect for quick games that still burn some brain cells, this one's deceptively simple but surprisingly strategic.
