Card Prophet is a trick-taking card game about one deceptively hard question: how many tricks will you win this round? Call it exactly right and you score. Miss by even one - over or under - and it costs you. The deck grows every round, so your read on the table has to grow with it. HOW IT PLAYS Each round you're dealt a hand and must predict how many tricks you'll take. Then everyone plays it out, one card at a time, following suit, chasing (or dodging) tricks to land on their number. Prophets beat everything. Jesters lose to everything. Trump changes each round. The player who reads the hand best - not the one with the best cards - comes out ahead. PLAY YOUR WAY • Apprentice mode: a gentler ruleset that's perfect for kids and new players • Classic mode: the full bid-your-tricks challenge • House rules: switch on rage bidding, let the prophet card pick trump, or play with double penalties for a sharper game PLAY OFFLINE, ANYTIME No account, no connection, no waiting. Sit down against smart bots that actually play the odds - great for a quick round on a plane, a train, or the couch. Landscape table, tactile card handling, and a calm, readable board. Predict well. Fulfill the prophecy. Terms of Use (EULA): https://legal.cardprophet.co/terms Privacy Policy: https://legal.cardprophet.co/privacy
Mago (Wizard)

In Mago, the winner isn’t the player who takes the most tricks, but the one who most accurately predicts how many there will be beforehand. Each round begins with a bid: How many tricks will you take? If you’re exactly right, you get 20 points plus ten for each trick. In addition, every trick over or under your bid costs ten points. That’s why even a weak hand counts—if you bid zero and take zero, you’ll often end up better off than someone who overbid. In the first round, everyone has exactly one card. You hold it so that everyone can see it—except you. With each round, one more card is added until the deck runs out. Wizards trump everything, including the trump card. Fools don’t trump anything. And whoever bids last must not let the numbers add up exactly: A bid where the total exactly matches the number of tricks in the round is forbidden. Someone has to be off by a trick. • Three to six players—against computer opponents or with friends • Fifteen rounds with four players, ranging from one card to fifteen • Play with friends using an invitation code, each on their own device • If someone leaves the game, a bot takes their place so the game can continue • When playing against the computer, no internet connection is required Mago follows the rules of the classic trick-bidding game and is a standalone, unofficial creation.
