About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Check out Volltreffer, a card game that mixes some cool ideas for those who enjoy strategy and a bit of luck. This game is divided into three key moments. First, there's the card 'auction' phase, where each player builds their hand of 8 cards, one at a time. It's a different way to start, where you're already thinking about the combinations you want to make.

Then comes the time to show what you've got up your sleeve! You can play card combinations that are worth extra points – like three cards of the same rank, a set that sums up to few points, or even the complete set of colors. Think of this as a bonus to boost your score before the main phase.

And last but not least, the classic trick-taking gameplay! Here, the deal is to follow suit and try to win each round. Every trick you win brings you closer to the final goal: getting as close as possible to 66 points without going too far over. It's a fast-paced game with a dynamic that keeps you hooked from start to finish, ideal for those who want something different in the card game genre.

Volltreffer offers an experience reminiscent of some classics, but with a modern twist that makes it interesting. The interaction between the phases creates a cycle of planning and execution that rewards those who think ahead. If you enjoy card games with a twist, it's definitely worth checking out!
