Title:
Pies +upgrades
Description:
Great Pies Need Great Ingredients!
Use Trick-Taking To Get The Best Fruit. Careful, There Are Incentives To Play Low Or Go For Special Actions!
Quick and tasty! In Pies, you have three rounds to collect combinations of fruit cards to make the tastiest pies. Every round, every player plays a card into the trick. Then, players draft from the cards played in descending order (highest card gets first dibs). If you’re the last player to draft, you also get a plum card.
Will you play high and snag a card you’ve been looking for? Or, will you try and aim low, bolstering your inventory of plums? Will your opponents allow either strategy?
Special actions on specific cards further complicate the decisions!
Make the most delicious pie mixes to win the game!
Pies is a quick and tasty trick-taking game in which players play fruit cards over the course of three rounds with the goal of collecting combinations of ingredients to prepare the tastiest pies
Each round consists of six tricks (five in a five-player game). One card is played by each player, with the person playing the highest-value card drafting one card from the trick into their display, with others following in order of descending card value, with the last player also receiving a Plum card. Special actions can be triggered at this point, allowing players to steal fruit cards or call the dog to protect their fruit from other thieves!
At the end of the game, the player with the most valuable pie mixes wins.
Baking Lessons:
Strategy
Use The Turn Order To Your Advantage
Often, going last gives you an advantage. You have the most information–look at the state of the table and decide if you need to win the trick, play low, or go somewhere in the middle. Don’t forget–winning the trick causes you to be the new lead player!
Use Table Talk To Figure Out The Value Of Cards
The economics of Pies happens fast! Pay attention to what your fellow bakers are picking up. Add a little table talk to suss out what players are going for!
Don’t Sleep On The Special Actions
It can be easy to focus on creating your pies (set collection). Don’t ignore the power of stealing cards or picking up the dog (which protects your pies!).
