Tricktaking Thursdays: Card Games with a Twist
Thursday, October 22 · 6:30 - 9:30 PM
Every Thursday, TTL turns into a trick-taking clubhouse — but not the trick-taking you grew up with. This series is all about card games with a twist: bidding wars, hidden roles, wonky trump rules, a wide range of themes, and mechanics that bend what you thought a "trick" could be.
If you know Euchre or Hearts, you're already halfway there. If you don't, that's fine too — half the fun is discovering how many different shapes this genre can take.
What to expect:
- A rotating selection of trick-taking games from TTL's collection — from classics to modern reinventions (think The Crew, Nokosu Dice, Cat in the Box, and rarer finds from the shelves)
- Quick-to-learn, quick-to-replay — most games wrap in 20–45 minutes, so tables can reset and try something new
- Game Stewards on hand to teach and help fill tables
- A great entry point for anyone who likes sharp, tactical games without a huge rules overhead
Details:
- Thursdays, 6:30pm at TTL
- Open to all members; solo drop-ins welcome
- Tables formed on arrival, mixing new and familiar faces
Complete each mission by playing cards into tricks and having specific players win specific cards as required by the stage’s objectives. The pressure comes from coordinating perfectly with limited ways to share what you can do and when you need help.
