Abstract
A method can comprise conducting trick phases comprising players playing suit cards each having a suit value. A player can play one or more suit cards, and an opponent can play one or more suit cards. A trick phase winner can be determined based on the total suit value of each player's played suit cards. The trick phase winner can collect all played suit cards, which can be called trick cards. There can be one or more active enemy cards, and the trick phase winner can assign the trick cards as damage to the active enemy cards as desired. In response to an active enemy card being defeated by the assigned trick cards, a reward card can be drawn having a victory point value. A player wins the game by having a victory point total equal to or exceeding a victory point threshold.
