Rowdy Partners is a team trick-taking card game staged as a wrestling match in Dusty Gulch. Partners play through eight-trick rounds, landing hits and countering attacks while low cards take the trick. Pop tokens can alter values and suits, trigger signature moves, or tag a fresh wrestler into the ring. Reduce an opponent to zero health and secure the pin to win. Headliner boards adapt the system for two or three players, while four players form two full tag teams.
