📖 About This Game

Greedy henchmen try to pocket stolen goods before the boss returns. Working together — but not too loyally — you'll snatch up gold, silver, and diamonds, hiding your loot under your hat at just the right moment. Push your luck too far, and you might get caught empty-handed when the boss shows up. Snitch Trick is a trick-taking game where players must not follow suit, winning tricks to collect valuable cards while timing when to secretly stash them. Cards hidden under the hat score points, while unhidden cards can become costly penalties. The tension between hoarding more and hiding safely creates a chicken race of greed and caution, with each trick pushing players closer to a risky decision point.
