Olika

Olika is a trick-taking game designed for three players (with variants for two and four). Each hand, players secretly select bid cards that show how many game points they stand to win or lose, and whether they're aiming to get the most card points, the fewest or somewhere in-between. After each player has dealt once, the bid values increase so the stakes get higher. The player with the highest score at the end of three rounds is the winner. The game can be played with a specially-suited deck or with a modified French deck.
