Read the full game description
Zombie Princess reimagines Spades as a darkly comic fairy-tale trick-taking game. Each player chooses a princess with a distinct power, then bids on the number of zombie hordes they expect to capture. Four round cards change the rules and scoring from hand to hand, while individual and team formats alter how bids combine and how partners share information. Accurate prediction matters as much as winning tricks: taking too many can burden a successful round with skulls.
