Trickarus is a clever trick-taking game where flying higher isn't always better. As you win tricks, your winged adventurers soar toward the sun—but fly too high, and you'll need to start losing tricks before you crash.
The twist comes from dual-value cards that change between day and night. Playing any 5 switches the game between day and night, flipping every card's value: a 3 becomes a 7, a 2 becomes an 8, and so on. Sun cards are trump during the day, while Moon cards take over at night.
You'll need to constantly rethink your strategy, using cards that seem weak in one state but become powerful when flipped. In Trickarus, knowing when to win—and when to lose—is the key to staying airborne.
