About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a card game that will keep you glued to your seat! In Trick of Fixer, the animals in a zoo settle their differences through trick-taking. Who will be the boss this time? To get there, brute strength isn't enough; you'll need the help of your 'fixers' – friends who work behind the scenes to ensure your victory. Think of a game that reminds you of your favorite trick-taking game, like Napoleon, but with a special twist of team strategy.
The objective is simple: win tricks to accumulate points and, perhaps, the title of supreme boss. But beware, because your opponents are also plotting their plans, using their own fixers to take you down. The team dynamic is crucial here; you don't play alone, but in pairs, where communication and trust in your partner are as important as knowing which card to play. It's one of those games you can pull out again and again, as each match brings new challenges and twists.
With rules reminiscent of classics but with a fun, new guise, Trick of Fixer is ideal for those who enjoy card games with one foot in tradition and another in direct interaction. Luck might lend a hand, but it's tactical intelligence and the ability to read your opponents (and your partner!) that will crown you the big winner. If you like bluffing, planning moves, and feeling that adrenaline rush of a contested trick, this game is for you. Gather your friends and find out who has the best instinct to be the boss!
