The Fox in the Forest

Foxtrot Games

A two-player trick-taking card game with a fairy-tale twist. Alongside the ranked, suited cards, special characters such as the Fox and the Witch let you change the trump suit or lead after losing a trick. You score by winning tricks, but claim too many and you fall like a fairy-tale villain. Good for strategy and planning. Best from around ten years.
