Skull King is an exciting trick-taking game similar to Oh Hell!, Wizard, and Spades, where players guess how many tricks they think they will win each round. What's unique about Skull King is that bidding happens simultaneously, leading to over- or underbidding and intense competition where losing the right tricks is just as important as winning. With a 66-card deck, including pirates and special cards, each game round becomes unpredictable and strategic. Play over 10 rounds and see who scores the most points!
