Description

In Shadow Cards, players secretly predict how many points they want to score in that round. Before each trick-taking round, two cards from their hand are chosen, whose value also determines the points to be scored. The question always arises: Do I set aside the high numbers to score a lot of points at the end, or do I keep them to make it easier to win tricks during the game? Those who combine instinct and strategy can prevail and win after three rounds. —description from the publisher
