Description

A trick-taking Decktet game for 3 to 5 players with a lot of trumps.

Double Knot is the favourite trick-taking game among pandas. It's a common habit to end a dispute with a game of Double Knot in order to decide who gets to sleep in the best bed. Unfortunately, in case of a tie, play is continued. This explains the amount of pandas.

The game is named after the two highest cards in the game, the Ace of Knots and the Crown of Knots.

In Double Knot every player bids a number of tricks. The object of the game is to win exactly the number of tricks bid and at the same time let other people fail to do the same.

In a hand of Double Knot, each of the Decktet cards is treated as belonging only to the top suit. The bottom suits of the first card played to a trick determines which cards can be used as trumps in that trick.

The rules of the game can be found at the Decktet wiki.
