Picante

Picante: The Spicy Trick-Taking Game!

Picante is a tactical trick-taking game in which you try to avoid your cursed suit to earn chili peppers! At the start of each round, you secretly choose a Picante suit: this is the suit you absolutely do not want to collect. Cards of other suits earn you 1 point each. Cards of your Picante color cost you negative points equal to their value! A round lasts 15 tricks, after which you tally your points. If you have the highest score, you win 2 chili peppers; if you have the second-highest score, 1 chili pepper; otherwise, nothing at all. Collect 3 chili peppers to win the game!
