About the game

What you do in a play session

Trick Dungeon throws you and your friends into a dungeon full of monsters, where each round is a trick-taking battle. The goal is to cooperate to defeat enemies, but only the player who lands the final blow takes the gold reward. The deck contains 32 cards divided into four suits, with values from 0 to 7; the 3s and 4s of each suit are magical spells, and each suit has a potion of a different value, which can be used depending on the chosen hero. In addition, there are 15 hero cards in three languages that set the gold goal for each round: some heroes require you to collect potion or spell cards, others give fixed gold if you win the last trick. When the active player fails to earn gold, all others receive 1 point as a reward for cooperation. The trick-taking mechanic follows classic rules: the highest card in the led suit wins the trick, but trump cards (defined by each hero) can change the outcome. The game is quick, with 20‑minute sessions, and works for 2 to 5 players, making it great for casual get‑togethers. If you enjoy trick-taking, cooperative challenges, and cards with AI‑generated art, Trick Dungeon offers a fun and strategic experience that will definitely keep the table lively.
