About the game

What you do in a play session

Prey is a quick and clever trick-taking game for 3-4 players, where you need to think twice before playing each card. The game is divided into two phases: in the first six rounds, you play with the predator side, and in the next six, you flip the cards to play with the prey side. The goal? Be the first to win the number of tricks determined by a dice roll, twice in a row. But beware: you must follow suit whenever possible, and managing your upside-down hand can be more challenging than it seems. Prey is perfect for those who enjoy fast-paced card games full of twists.
