Read the full game description
3 Tricky Pigs is a trick-taking game in which every suit follows its own rule. Players begin each hand with a secret prediction of how many tricks they will take, then try to hit that number exactly. The lowest card normally wins, but a wolf in the trick reverses the contest so the highest card prevails. Huff and puff effects can alter values after cards have been played, creating tactical reversals and sharp reads around the table. Accurate bids and controlled surprises turn a familiar card-game rhythm into a lively thirty-to-sixty-minute puzzle.
