Braggarts

Braggarts is a simple trick-taking game for two to four players. Each round begins with a bidding phase in which the knights brag about how many beasts they will slay (and thus how many tricks the player will have to win). Then the trick-taking begins, with players laying successively higher head and tail cards to construct a huge beast. Players must play cards higher in value than those already played, but can do so at either end of the trick. The player who plays the final card takes the trick. —description from the designer
