Fishing Trick-taker by Friedemann Friese, the green-haired designer of Power Grid and many others. This one reminds me of Power Grid in that it's really all about the catch-up mechanism. You get 1 point for every card you win in tricks. You keep the cards you capture and recycle them for your next hand. If you don't have enough, you draw cards from the deck, which gets progressively more powerful with higher cards and trumps. This means that doing badly in a hand means your next hand will be much stronger. Powerful hands ebb and flow between the players, which is delightful, especially when playing with mixed abilities. Unfortunately I'm not convinced there's much skill as you can't card count or have much control which cards you receive. I'll keep playing, but I am not convinced it's a long-term keeper. #boardgames
