Chouineurs (FR)

*French version

Chouineurs (FR) is a trick-taking game where your hand is never set in stone. In a quirky fantasy world filled with playful characters, players compete across 4 rounds of 7 tricks using suits, trumps, and even super trumps. The real innovation lies in the double-sided cards that can be rotated during play.

At the start of each round, you choose your hand orientation and place a bet on how many tricks you expect to win. Succeeding earns big points, but the game constantly evolves. Thanks to the unique "cry" mechanic, when you play the lowest card in a trick, you can either gain a point or rotate one of your cards to reshape your strategy.

This clever system lets you continuously adjust your plan to hit your exact target. It’s a brilliant mix of card game, bluffing, and tactical flexibility that keeps every round engaging and unpredictable.

You will enjoy Chouineurs if you like fast-paced, interactive games full of smart decisions. If you enjoy classic trick-taking games but want a modern twist with more control and surprises, this one stands out.

The rotating card mechanic is a rare innovation in trick-taking games, adding surprising depth while keeping the experience accessible and fun.

Designed by Frédéric Vuagnat and illustrated by Crocotame, Chouineurs brings a fresh creative take to modern card games.
