Igor: The Life of the Party

Players compete in a trick-taking game using cards in five suits numbered 0–9. Each turn, players follow suit when possible; if any card is played out of suit, the highest out-of-suit card wins the trick. Trick winners collect coins, and the player with the most coins after several hands wins. Two rule cards begin each hand in play face-down, requiring players to remember and obey unusual instructions. Rules may require specific words or actions, and the dealer and hand’s top trick-taker can each add or remove a rule, causing the conditions to change throughout the game.
