Verhext!

A trick taking game in which you have to predict the number of tricks you get in advance. Some special cards make the game a little bit unpredictable as every player can also play a magic potion with value +1, +2 or +3 together (or even alone) to a number card. This way the number of cards of each player reduces which every trick by one or even two. The round ends once at least one player has no cards on the hand. The game consists of 4 colors with each 9 cards from 1–9 and magic potions with values of +1, +2 and +3. Beside these normal hand cards there exist piles for the guesses of the number of tricks the player gets with values of 0, 1 (or 1+), 2 (or 2+) and (3 or 3+). At the begin of each round every player gets 7 cards. The player select starting from the starting player the card with the number of tricks he will get. If a fixed number such as 2 is chosen more points can be reached than selecting the back of the side which mentions 2 or more tricks. The game ends once one of the pile of prediction cards ends or after 7 rounds. The player with the most stars on his (properly fulfilled) prediction cards wins.
