Description

Skull King is a trick-taking game similar to Oh Hell!, Wizard, Euchre, and Spades, where players must declare how many tricks they believe they will win in each round. A unique element of this game is that the bidding is conducted simultaneously, leading to rounds that are sometimes overbid or underbid. Since players must win the exact number of tricks they bid to score points, winning too many tricks is just as bad as winning too few, and this leads to intense competition where losing a trick can be just as exciting as winning one. Skull King uses a deck of 66 cards consisting of five Escape cards, four suits numbered from 1-13, five Pirate cards, 1 Tiger card, and 1 Skull King card. The game lasts ten rounds, and in each round, each player receives as many cards as the round number. All players simultaneously bid on the number of tricks they believe they will win by holding out a fist and on the count of three revealing a certain number of fingers (or possibly a closed fist for a bid of zero tricks).
