Piñatas

In Piñatas, you want to take tricks as late as you can.

Once you take three tricks, you're out of the round. But, you get points for how many tricks won by other players BEFORE you went out. If you wait too long and go out last, you'll only score your own won tricks!

Designed by Dr. Reiner Knizia, Piñatas has an elegantly simple ruleset with his signature spin on scoring. Combine that with an explosive art style (that will make you feel a bit bad for the piñatas at the end of the day), and you've got a trick-taking game that you can't stop playing.
