Idle Hands
A must-follow trick-taking game in which players use face-up mission cards to determine the lead suit. The highest card of that suit wins the trick and adds the mission card to its hand. Tricks score points, but 4s and 8s are worth their face value in negative points, so the player with the most points—or fewest negative points—wins.
