Make-a-Million

A partnership trick-taking game, which includes rules for up to eight players. In the partnership game the object of each side is to capture tricks. Players have both Number and Money Cards and try to capture tricks where Money Cards have been played. The side first scoring a total of a million dollars wins. The privilege of naming trump color and collecting a face down widow go to the highest bidder. Failing to meet a bid means that a partnership loses the amount of their bid from their score. In addition to Number and Money Cards, players must reconcile with three special cards: the Tiger, the Bull, and the Bear. The Tiger card (the most powerful card in play) gives players an automatic highest trump, while at the same time functioning as a wild card. The Bull allows players to double the value of the current trick, while the dreaded Bear cancels the values of the current trick. Rules include variants for 4, 6, and 8 players.
