Tornei

Tornei

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, jousting tournaments captivated audiences, evolving from mock battles into thrilling entertainment. Noble lords would pit their knightly orders against one another in fierce competition for honor and glory, all while secretly placing bets on which order would reign supreme. Now, it’s your turn to lead your own order of knights to victory and fortune in this grand jousting tournament!

Tornei is a trick-taking game. Each player selects a card from their hand, and whoever plays the strongest card takes all of the played cards; this is called taking a « trick ». Play continues in this manner until the players’ hands are empty.

In Tornei, players do not simply aim to take the most tricks; there are many cases where taking fewer tricks will award more points! Rather, players aim to predict the strength of the played cards in each trick, scoring points for each correct prediction.

What’s special about Tornei is that players do not try to predict how many tricks they will take in total. Instead, they predict whether their played card will be the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th strongest card in each trick.
