Imagine whales. Huge, majestic, graceful... and insanely gambling! These representatives of the cetacean family are called "trump". While ordinary whales spend all their strength singing songs, these narwhals, blue whales, sperm whales, and orcas are looking for a way to quickly raise cash from the bottom. Every day they dive into the deepest depths and compete in gathering precious pearls. Are you ready to become a trump whale and prove to everyone that in the ocean, you are the pearl king?
Pearl Magnate
"Trump Card Whales" is a classic card tabletop game with a trick-taking mechanic. Players will collect victory points - pearls, by playing cards with amusing whales. To win a trick, you need to play the most suitable card from your hand on your turn. However, "Trump Card Whales" wouldn’t be called trump if they didn’t have a couple of aces up their sleeves. Unlike other trick-taking tabletop games, the trump here is a random card drawn from the deck at the beginning of the round. And when a player wins a trick, they determine the size of their prize. The winner chooses any of the cards played by their opponents and collects pearl points from it, while the owner of the selected card receives an additional bonus for the future. When all cards from the hand are played, the round ends, and points are tallied. The first player to collect 30 pearls wins the game and can sing their victory song to the other whales.
