Elbows Up!

The game is played with a 5-suited deck that includes a joker, two special cards, and cards numbered 1 through 10 in each suit. It is a trick-taking game in the vein of Wizard or Oh Hell. Players bid simultaneously on the number of tricks they will take each hand. They receive a ten point bonus for being correct, zero for overbidding, and points equal to the number of tricks taken for underbidding. A player receives an additional bonus if he is dealt a special card, bids the amount shown on the card, and then makes the bid. The game ends after ten rounds. High score wins.
