The best Trick-taking games 🃏 2021
Looking for a really good trick-taking card game 🃏? We have collected the 32 best trick-taking games for you and listed them clearly.
What are trick-taking games anyway?
Players play cards from their hands onto the table. The order is usually clockwise and proceeds in rounds in which each player discards a card - in what is called a "trick". Each trick is scored separately to determine a winner and/or apply other possible effects.
The highest card wins the "trick"
The most common way to win a trick is to play the card with the highest value of the suit that was played first. Many classic card games use the "trump" system (where the particular cards, usually those of a particular suit, win the trick when played). Occasionally there is a bidding round to determine this trump suit.
"Serve" must
In many trick plays (though not all), players are required to "serve", that is, play a card of the same suit that was played, if they have one. If they don't have a matching card, they must play another card from their hand.
