I was a card game newbie at the time and I’ve since brushed up on my card game knowledge with the help of a guide and by playing a multitude of other card games. I previously reviewed Anansi and the Box of Stories and chastised it for its poor rulebook and inability to explain a major concept of trick taking games. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is, strangely enough, declared the winner. Multiple hands are played until one player reaches 21 points which signals the last hand of the game. The number of tricks you won that hand determines the number of points you earn. The winner of the trick leads the next and play continues until all 13 cards are depleted from the players’ hands. Whoever played the highest valued card in the lead suit wins the trick, unless a card in the trump suit was played. If they have no cards in their hand of the same suit, they may play any card in their hand. The starting player leads the trick and the other player must play a card of the same suit. The top card of the draw deck is turned face up and establishes the trump suit. Each player is dealt a hand of 13 cards and the remaining cards are set aside to make the draw deck. The deck of cards consists of 3 different suits with values ranging from 1 to 11. The Fox in the Forest is a trick taking game made for two players. I mean it’s just a card game, but some eye candy wouldn’t hurt.”Īnd they lived happily ever after … that’s how games are made, right? “Oh yeah? Well, I was just drawing some pictures of a fox and fairy tale stuff. It’s actually going to be a trick taking game.” “Hey, so I have this idea for a card game.
