Read the full game description
Sweet Takes is a multi-suit trick-taking card game in which every color played can have its own winner. Players receive nine cards plus a secret stash of three face-down cards they may gamble on without looking. A player follows the first suit they can, then the second, and so on, while off-suit cards can create additional contests inside one trick. After twelve tricks, each color is awarded separately: high cards capture the suit, low face-up winners score more, and hidden cards add small bonus points. The most valuable candy haul wins.
