The Academy
Your role each round determines your goal in this trick-taking game. Players follow suit when possible, use the trump suit, and compete to win tricks according to their assigned roles. Complete a role-specific objective to earn an award, then pass the roles clockwise for the next round. The game ends when a player has collected three awards and the Ace in the Sleeve.
