Indian Trick

3–6 players · 30 min · 10+

In this game, you can see the numbers, colors, and point values of your opponent’s cards, but for your own cards you only know the numbers.

Players either exchange cards, add cards, or pass, then everyone reveals their hands. The winner takes all the cards from that round, and players compete for the highest total score.

  1. Each player holds one card, Coyote-style, so everyone can see it except the player holding it.
  2. Starting with the dealer/lead player, each player chooses one action: exchange, add, or pass.
  3. Once everyone has acted, all cards are revealed.
  4. The winner is the player with the highest number in the suit that appears the most.
  5. The winner takes all the cards.
