Deadly Desserts

Deadly Desserts is a trick-taking card game. If you've never played a trick-taking game before, Deadly Desserts is the perfect game to start with! The game is played in a series of tricks, in which players play one card each. The winner of each trick takes the cards, most of which deal damage. Thus, your objective is to avoid winning tricks! It's a very fun gameplay style because you win by not winning.

If you're familiar with trick-taking games, Deadly Desserts builds off of classics (e.g. Hearts, Euchre, Bridge) and adds exciting gameplay features, such as Gourmayhem Cards to double cards' values or being able to play 2-10 players rather than 3-4.
