About the game

What you do in a play session

Picture this: you are an elite thief, disguised as a detective, attempting the perfect heist. But as you arrive at the crime scene, you run straight into another criminal, also posing as an investigator! The problem? The treasure is gone, and the police are closing in. If you don't figure out who this phantom thief is and what evidence they left behind, you'll inevitably end up as the prime suspect.

Who Done Trick takes that classic, addictive trick-taking structure and injects a massive dose of mystery and investigation. Here, it's not enough to just try and win card rounds; you need to treat every trick as a clue. The game requires you to connect the dots between the played cards, the presented alibis, and the evidence that emerges during gameplay. It's essentially a 'whodunit' mystery blended with the tension of a strategic card game.

With a very quick playtime of 20 to 30 minutes, it is perfect for those moments when the group wants something clever without spending the entire night studying a complex rulebook. The deduction dynamic ensures that every round feels unique, as what you learn about your opponent in one trick might be the key to unmasking them in the next. If you enjoy card games that make your brain work a little harder while you try to read your friends' intentions, this is your new tabletop obsession. It's fast, it's tense, and above all, it's incredibly fun to watch everyone try to cover their tracks while simultaneously pointing the finger at the culprit!
