About the game
Get ready for a cosmic duel in Solar Eclipse, a card game that will test your ability to read opponents and predict the future! Here, each round is a trick-taking battle where you play two cards, and cunning is your greatest ally. There are two suits: Sun and Moon. Sun cards are always revealed, showing your intentions, but Moon cards... ah, those can be played face down, creating a veil of mystery and bluff. The master play? A pair of Sun and Moon cards with the same value, a powerful combination that can turn the game around. To emerge victorious, you not only need to deceive your adversaries with unexpected plays but also have the courage to bet how many tricks you'll actually win. It's a fast-paced game, with matches lasting about half an hour, ideal for 2 to 3 players who enjoy a good dose of strategy and direct interaction. With a light to moderate weight, Solar Eclipse is accessible for those starting out but offers enough depth for veterans seeking the perfect move. Think carefully, play smartly, and conquer the eclipse!
