Savage Bowl (FR)

*French version

Savage Bowl (FR) turns American football into a chaotic and strategic trick-taking game where absolutely anything goes. Players must win the exact number of tricks needed to score points while surviving penalties, crushing tackles, and outrageous dirty plays from their opponents.

The game's biggest twist comes from the referee mechanics. During the first half of the game, the highest cards in each trick receive yellow card penalties, meaning the second strongest card often wins instead. Penalized players must also sit out the following round, creating a brilliant layer of tactical planning. In the second half, however, the referee completely loses control: no more penalties, no more limits, and total chaos takes over.

This combination of planning, prediction, and unpredictable gameplay creates fast-paced and highly interactive matches. Players constantly adapt their strategies, carefully count tricks, and decide when to play aggressively or hold back. Its exaggerated football theme and comedic tone give Savage Bowl a unique personality among modern card games.

You will enjoy Savage Bowl if you love trick-taking games that introduce fresh mechanics, strong player interaction, and surprising twists throughout every match.

Modern trick-taking games have seen a huge resurgence in popularity, and Savage Bowl stands out thanks to its thematic originality and clever penalty system that reinvents classic trick-taking gameplay.

Designed by URiO and illustrated by Mihajlo Dimitrievski and Tori Hasegawa, the game captures the chaotic energy of over-the-top football through dynamic visuals and smart design.
