Pointy Hats is a trick-taking micro-game (18 cards) in which players try to outperform their rivals with great feats of wizardry. Try to perform your most powerful spell to impress your foes - winning the round and maybe the game. But be careful, playing too cautious or too reckless can cost you. Gameplay Summary: Cards are sorted into the Trick Card stack and Trump Card stack - and then shuffled. Each player is dealt 3 Trick Cards. Reveal the top card from the Trump Card stack. The player who dealt plays first. Turns then move to the right. The player with the highest numbered card takes the trick. The next Trump Card is turned over and the round continues until all three cards have been played.
