Entertaining Chat about Trick Takers!

I have only recently started diving into the realm of trick takers. I love how these guys obviously love trick takers and do a great job of describing the games and getting me excited about trying to new games!

LEE!!!! ,

Great people, great talks.

I know these dudes! Love that they’re talking about trick-taking games. Sounds super niche, but the genre is having a crazy boom. Truly unique games are being built in the genre, most notably in Japan. These are highly playable if one so desired. Many can even be played online for free. It’s kind of awesome! Support these guys. They’re great.
