Description

?????? (They Two Are Clumsy) was designed for the 2019 exhibition ????????? (Is this a trick-taking game?), for games that pushed the boundary of what could be considered both a game and a trick-taking game.

It is a game for 2 people that uses a seven-suit deck, with one suit ranking 1-7, one 2-8, another 3-9, etc. The game also uses a board, some chips, and another set of cards ranked 1-7.

Each player is dealt one card from each suit and during play, must follow suit.

In the game, the players are competing for the same love interest, and thematically, winning a trick causes a player to move closer or further from that goal. Depending upon the suit that player won the trick with, they may be able to activate a special ability.

The loser of a trick either earns coins which can be used to increase the rank of card(s) in the future, or draws a new card from a suit still in their hand and then returns one of the two cards in that suit to the bottom o the deck.

Points are won when a player passes the other on the love track and based upon the distance from the other player at the end of the round.

The players complete two rounds and the person with the most points wins.
