Trick-Taking Card Games

Xactika is a card game for two to ten players designed by Marsha Falco and published by Set Enterprises in 2002. It is a trick-taking game played with a dedicated deck of 81 cards, aimed at players twelve and up, with a typical playing time of thirty to forty-five minutes per game. As with Set Enterprises' other pattern-matching card games, Xactika applies a distinctive rule set to the trick-taking format, rewarding players who attentively track cards played across a group that can range from two players up to ten.
