Fluid Fealty (2021)

Fluid Fealty is a 1-4 player trick-taking game. The king is dead—killed by his own advisors—and many are rushing to fill the void left by his passing. To take the throne, and hold onto it, you need allies—but who can you trust when everyone is out for themselves? At the beginning of each round, players will choose a card from their hand to represent their ambition--this card will dictate both that player's bid for how many tricks they expect to win, and that player's favored suit for the round. Each round comprises 13 tricks; however, there is no single trump for a round. Instead, a played card is automatically considered a trump card if it matches that player's ambition suit--so different players have a different trump suit! At the end of a round, the player who came closest to matching their bid adds their ambition card to their alliances. Once a player reaches a certain number of alliances, they automatically win the game; but, the more alliances you have, the more your opponents will know about your hand... Fluid Fealty also comes with a solo mode, where you play against two automated rivals. —description from the designer
