About the game

What you do in a play session

Mimic Trick is a card game for 3-4 players that blends strategy with a touch of chaos. The premise is simple: you're playing a classic trick-taking game, but there’s an intruder in the deck — the mimic! This special card always mimics the led suit, giving you more options when it’s your turn to play. But beware! Capturing too many mimic cards can cost you negative points at the end of each round. The challenge lies in balancing traditional trick-taking strategy with the unpredictability of the mimic. It’s a quick game, perfect for a casual session with friends, but still requires solid planning to come out on top.
