Römer

A fairly complex trick-taking card game in which players attempt to assemble a high-value team of horses to pull their chariots. Players pick a personal trump color, and one card of this color serves as their chariot. Up to six other cards - or "horses" - may be added to the pile formed by the chariot, and all will score according to values on the cards. Bonuses are received if the horses are of the trump color selected by the player, but placing trump cards into the chariot can be dangerous, as players are penalized if their trump suit is played and they do not follow suit. Each turn, a player may begin a trick or place a card from his hand onto his chariot pile.
