The Fox in the Forest
Joshua Buergel · Renegade Game Studios · 2017
A two-player trick-taking game where winning too many tricks is penalized — score like a fox, not a pig. Fairy tale character cards have special powers that bend the trick-taking rules. The scoring threshold system makes every trick won a genuine strategic choice.
