Can't Win
3–4 players · 45 min · 10+
Can’t Win is a trick-taking game where you must guess exactly how many times you’ll win, embellished with a twist at the start of each round: You also have to choose a constraint for yourself that limits which cards you are able to win tricks with. The constraint you choose can work for you—or against you—in matching the number of tricks you actually win to the number you bid you would win. At the end of every round, you’ll record the points you earn for your wins and matching bids. Your final score is calculated at the end of the game by multiplying your total wins with the points you score by bidding correctly.
