Description
Master a classic trick-taking game perfected over 70 years by the Goodge family. The Goodge Rules combines bidding strategy and trump selection into an accessible yet challenging card game that works for 3–4 players aged 8 and up. Bid to become "The Goodge," set the trump suit, stash cards strategically, and race to 500 points. Only certain cards score: 1's worth 20 points, 5's worth 15, 10's worth 10, and the Crown worth 25. Each round, three cards go face-down into the "Stash" before remaining cards are dealt evenly. If you bid and fail to meet your target, you lose points—making every bid a calculated risk.
