インスタントシンジケート (Instant Syndicate)

This is a trick-taking card game. Each turn, players take turns playing one card, following the specified suit, which represents an “organization.” Once everyone has played a card, rights are distributed. Depending on the cards played, some players will gain something or be saddled with something, some will simply stand by, and one player will gain decision-making authority for that turn. That player can then strengthen one of the specified organizations. When the final turn ends, victory comes down to whether you had connections to the organization that ended up holding the most influence.
