Sweet Takes

Sweet Takes is a super-fast and flavorful card game where each round is a sweet competition! The idea is simple: whoever scores the most points at the end of twelve trick-taking rounds wins the dessert. The deck has cards numbered 1-10 in various colors, and the number of colors used varies with the number of players. Each player starts with nine cards in hand and three hidden ones, which can only be revealed at the end. In each trick, the first player sets the color of the turn. Others must follow that color if possible. If not, they can discard another color. The twist is that even if you can follow suit, you can choose to play one of those secret cards! Whoever plays the highest card of a color wins all cards of that color in that trick, turning the winning card face-up and the others face-down. In the end, face-up cards are worth their printed points (the lower the number, the higher the value!), and face-down cards are worth 1 point each. It's a light strategy game, perfect for those who enjoy a good, uncomplicated card game, ideal for filling those gaps between heavier games or for kicking off a game night.
