Test your cunning and timing with Schadenfreude, the uniquely strategic trick-taking card game from Japan’s Studio Turbine. Designed for 3–5 players ages 10 and up, and playable in just 15–20 minutes, Schadenfreude puts a twist on classic card play—where the real challenge is getting as close to 40 points as possible, without going over!
In Schadenfreude, players must follow suit, but there are no trump suits and some cards have negative values, adding an intriguing layer of risk and reward. To win a trick, you’ll aim to play the second highest card of the lead suit—a clever twist that changes every round! Collect unique cards for your score pile, but beware: duplicates are discarded, so every choice matters. When the game ends, only the player closest to—but not exceeding—40 points will claim victory.
Perfect for fans of innovative card games and clever strategy, Schadenfreude offers fast-paced gameplay, plenty of surprises, and the chance for some truly delightful misfortune!
