Idea of the game
So it is not too easy, you have two choices on your turn: Take over a trick by playing a high card or discard your lowest card. It is not enough to keep a low card in your hand for the last trick. You will also need some high cards for taking over key tricks.
Five Cucumbers is a modern variant of the trick taking game “Agurk“, well-known primarily in Scandinavia.
We are excited to bring you our modern version!
