Since 2008, Chicane has captivated fans of hand management and trick-taking with its medium-light complexity design, shining brightest at 3 players.

How It Plays

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Trick-taking

Players play cards in rounds, and the highest card wins the trick — a classic card game mechanic that's endlessly satisfying.

About This Game

In a hand of Chicane, each of the Decktet cards is treated as just having one suit. For the double-suited number cards, only the top or bottom suit is active in a given hand. Players bid to determine which it will be.
