Six Ways 2 Sunday

A game of Six Ways 2 Sunday is played over 2 rounds consisting of 6 tricks each. The catch is that the six tricks in each round are not played in sequence, but collectively. That is, a player might play a card to any of the 6 tricks on a given turn. Each trick is limited to 1 card less the number of players, thus not all players will participate in all 6 tricks. The tricks are only resolved when the last card valid card is played and all 6 tricks are completed. Each trick is won by either the highest or lowest card played depending on the individual trick. Playing a losing card to any trick enables the player to take the special action associated with that trick's day: Monday: Lets a player move a previously played card. Tuesday: Lets a player immediately take another turn. Wednesday: Lets a player change the win condition (high vs Low) for any trick. Thursday: Lets a player remove a card that has been played. Friday: Lets a player swap the cards between any 2 tricks. Saturday: Lets a player draw an extra card into their hand. All players have an identical deck of 13 cards from which they will draw a hand of 4 cards. The game ends when the second round is completed. Players score points for each trick taken and additional points for capturing other players' highest and lowest valued cards. -description from publisher Every win comes with opportunity costs.
