The emotion cards add a clever layer of strategy—you're not just trying to win the trick, but to claim exactly the feeling you need. My group was immediately hooked after one round.

I've played a ton of trick-taking games and the emotion set collection here actually makes you think twice about which tricks to chase. The dread card mechanic had our whole table groaning in a good way. Played three rounds back to back, which never happens with my group.

I was skeptical about another trick-taking game, but the emotion cards actually change how you strategize each round. The artwork on the primal emotion cards is gorgeous and makes the game more immersive. Only reason it’s not a 5 is the rulebook was a bit confusing on the scoring.
