## Description
In Trickjack, you and your friends compete for the king's favor by gathering influence from four powerful noble houses. But beware: too much power can be dangerous. If your total influence exceeds 21, you're out for the round! The game blends classic trick-taking with Blackjack-style tension. Each card played represents influence with a house, and winning a trick means gaining more power. The key is managing your total to get as close as possible to 21 without going over. The first to collect three king's tokens wins the monarch's trust. Get ready to bluff, calculate risks, and hope your opponents bust!
