A pirate game of exact trick bidding. Guess how many rounds you'll take, then keep your word as trumps and the Skull King wreck your plans.
The goal is to score the most points by taking exactly as many tricks as you bid. Just 4 steps.
One card each in the first round, then one more every round after. Suits and trump flags are in the deck.
Before play, everyone declares how many tricks they'll take this round — from zero up to the number of cards in hand.
Play one card each. The highest trump or highest card of the suit wins the trick. Special cards break the order.
Hit your bid exactly and score points; miss it and take a penalty. The Skull King and mermaids bring bonuses.
Skull King is a game of precise prediction: the point isn't to grab as many tricks as possible but to take exactly as many as you declared, so sometimes it pays to throw a round on purpose. Special pirate cards and the Skull King add bluffing and surprise upsets to what looked like a settled trick.
