Skull Queen
Players take the roles of pirate captains competing to collect the largest bounty through a series of trick-taking rounds. Before each hand, players secretly bid how many tricks they expect to win, then play cards to meet—or thwart—those bids using suits, special cards, and timing. Between hands, players place crew on a five-space plank to score points based on their end-of-round placement; scoring depends on how well bids matched actual trick results. The game runs for a number of rounds equal to the player count, and the highest total score after the final round wins.

Praxy6.5 Generally don't like trick tacking game, but this one is really nice with the 4 meeples used on the plank, they can go up or down (and still score some points) so you don't necessarily need to win the trick, and the tension of the risk a meeple fall off the plank, which other players will try to do of course!
