Bokken Schieten

Stay under the goat limit in this original trick-taking game!

In this original trick-taking game, you try to collect as many goats as possible without exceeding the limit. You are dealt 8 cards at the start. Each player plays 1 card, a trick, face up on the table. The player who played the card with the lowest value draws a hill card and places it on the table, choosing 1 of the 2 values ​​on it. The player who played the card with the highest value wins the trick and starts the next one.

This continues until all cards have been played. The hill is completed after 4 tricks and determines the goat limit. Whoever has collected the most goats after 8 tricks and has not exceeded the goat limit wins the game. You can also choose to play multiple rounds and record the scores.

Bokken Schieten is a card game that 999 Games successfully released 15 years ago, but is now publishing it in a new guise under its own management. The game has more depth than you might think at first glance and is also an excellent stepping stone to more challenging trick-taking games such as Wizard and The Crew.
