Skull King

Catalog Listing - Check Availability

Skull King is a trick-taking game with players needing to state how many tricks they think they'll win each round. A unique element of this game is that bidding takes place simultaneously, leading to rounds that are sometimes over, or under-bid. As players must win the exact number of tricks that they bid to earn points, winning too many tricks is just as bad as winning too few and this leads to intense competition where losing a trick can be as exciting as winning one.

Theme: Card Game Pirates

Mechanics: Trick-taking Auction/Bidding
