Description

Please check grandpabecksgames.com for video that demonstrates how to play. Scheming and Skulking, is an exciting card game where every hand can be a winning hand… if you play your cards right! This can be a trick-taking game, because of this that each turn, each player, plays one card. The highest numbered card, or the most powerful special Pirate card played will win. This is called “taking a trick.” Each hand players look at their cards and then create a Scheme as to how many tricks they’ll win. With a “Yo Ho Ho,” players concurrently bid how many tricks they’ll win. Those bids are recorded on the included score pad. Players continue to Scheme to make sure they win exactly how many tricks they bid. If you get your bid you score. If you win more, or less, than you bid, you loose points. You never know which cards are skulking out there that might thwart your scheme because there are all the time some cards not dealt out. The five powerful PIRATE cards, the adaptable TIGRESS card, and the all-powerful SKULL KING card may, or may not be Skulking in another player’s hand. There may be many, or few JOLLY ROGER cards dealt, which are the valuable trump cards. Getting your bid is a dynamic challenge that makes every hand of every game dramatic and interesting. If you have and escape card, it means that you can avoid taking a trick. This is especially helpful when you bid to win zero tricks. Every hand, whether you have high or low cards, can be a winner, if you play your cards right! There are lots of ways to score bonus points that allow you to come back from at the back of, or to quickly shoot ahead. You are all the time in the game, no matter what cards you are dealt. Scheming and Skulking will turn out to be a new family favorite for you, just as it is the all-time favorite of Grandpa Beck and his family. This award winning game will never cease to entertain and challenge. Once you are playing, we would love to hear from you through an Amazon review!
