Tricks of War

Tricks of War is a game that exists out of the question, “Can we play multiple tricks at once?”. In the game, players are waging war throughout Europe during the Renaissance on multiple fronts while making pledges to their people about what kind of ruler they will be. Our suits represent our pledges with Military, Alchemy, Espionage, Culture, and Religion being the many different ways to wage war against your fellow rulers. Monarch cards are our trump suit. These cards are inspired and represented by 12 real life Renaissance monarchs. They come with an ability to affect the game and count as whatever suit you pledge to your people.
