Pick your horse, play your hand, and back your bet — Trick Stakes is a clever fusion of trick-taking card play and horse racing prediction for 3–4 players.
At the start of the game, each player is dealt a hand they'll keep throughout — no drawing, no swapping. Your horse runs based on the results of trick-taking rounds, and as the race unfolds, you'll gradually learn your horse's strengths and quirks. The key: use that knowledge to place smarter bets and outpace the competition.
🐎 Unique hybrid — trick-taking meets horse racing in one tight package
🃏 Fixed hand — the same cards all game, growing familiarity creates strategy
🎲 Betting and bluffing — read your opponents, not just your cards
⚡ 30 minutes — fast, replayable, satisfying
