Farm Hand

A 21-card micro game for 1–5 players played over six rounds in about 15–20 minutes. Each round deals an increasing hand size (one card in round 1, two in round 2, etc.) from six asymmetric suits with values 1–7 that are openly visible to all players. Players simultaneously bid how many tricks they expect to take by revealing fingers, then play trick-taking hands with a must-follow rule. The highest card wins each trick, but identical-numbered cards cancel each other and pass the trick to the next highest card. Scoring rewards exact bid matches with points equal to the round number and penalizes mismatches by −1 per trick difference. The dealer rotates and play continues for six rounds; highest total score wins.
