Bootlegger

Bootlegger is a bridge-like partnership trick-taking game with a few twists on the familiar theme. The deck consists of four suits with six wild "Bootlegger" cards. The latter may be played to any trick and cause the lowest (rather than highest) card to take the trick. Instead of the traditional bid/pass, a player may "Inkle," which is a non-bid signal to partner that one can support a certain suit. A "Nullo" is a No Trump bid to take no tricks. Teams score points (40 to 520, depending on the suit and number of tricks bid) for making their bid, or lose points if they fail. Play is to 500 points.
