About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever had a game where everything seemed under control, only for it to flip upside down in a second? That is exactly what the Kraken Tamer brings to the table! This promo card, originally released with the pre-orders of Trunfos e Tesouros, is the definition of 'controlled chaos' for card game enthusiasts.
Don' even expect the Kraken Tamer to win you any tricks; he's a zero-value card, meaning he won't win the round. However, his real power lies in his ability to disrupt. When played, he immediately pushes the Kraken's trump indicator to level 4, allowing for a brand-new trump suit to be chosen right then and there. This can completely invalidate an opponent's strategy or pivot the game in your favor at the perfect moment.
Because he can be played at any time, he adds a layer of psychological tension to every hand. You can't just play your high cards and assume you've secured a win; you have to watch out for that sneaky tamer waiting to shift the tides. It's a brilliant little tool for players who love tactical disruption and high-stakes-style-play. If you want to keep your opponents on their toes and add a spicy layer of unpredictness to your sessions, this promo is a must-have!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the base game to use this?
Yes, this is a promo-only-add-on and requires the full base game to function.
Does it help me win tricks?
Not directly. It's a zero-value card, so it won't win the trick, but it changes who CAN win.
How does the-trump mechanic work?
It jumps the-Kraken-indicator to level 4, forcing a new trump suit to be selected.
Is it hard to master?
The rule is simple, but the timing is everything. It's all about knowing when to disrupt.
Is it a standalone game?
No, it's a promotional-only-card for Trunfos e Tesouros.
