PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayClimb the social ladder — or kick it over.
The trick-taking game Tax the Rich features a deck depicting characters of various social ranks from the Poor to the President. Each round begins with a simple bidding phase to determine both the trump color and the number of tricks required to score bonus points. The winner of the bid must then acquire the required number of tricks, together with their ally.
The game is played as a trick-taking game in which the highest social ranks are the strongest cards. However, if at any time all remaining cards in your hand have a flag symbol, you may trigger a "revolution" by revealing your cards. This flips the social hierarchy upside down so that the lowest-ranked cards become the most powerful. Having called for a revolution, you stand publicly exposed, playing the rest of this round with your cards face up.
The game includes thirteen rule cards that add variety by giving certain character cards special abilities related to their profession: Workers "unionize", the Billionaires "power grab", the Police "stop and frisk", Scientists "debunk" etc. You can play with random rule cards or use one of the scenarios suggested in the rules.
With an optional variant, players can also collect cards with a feminist icon to trigger a feminist revolution, boosting the value of all female characters.

▪️ In late June 2025, I covered a quartet of titles from New Mill Industries — but it turns out that owner/designer Daniel Newman has a design of his own due out in October 2025 that's meant to capture the autumnal feeling in the air. Here's an overview of the 3-4 player game Folia Folio:
Autumn has arrived, and colorful leaves litter the ground. As a collector, this is your favorite time of year. Gather the halves of leaves, and assemble them in your albums. Create the most impressive collection to become the envy of your peers!
Folia Folio is a set-collection game that uses the structure of a may-follow trick-taking game. Players form albums by connecting left and right sides of matching leaves and matching numbers. The longer your chain of matches in one album, the more points you score.

▪️ Meio is a straightforward, must follow trick-taking game from Fel Barros and Mauricio Torselli for 2-4 players that you can play with a standard card deck and rules posted on BGG.
Each player receives a hand of thirteen cards, then places aside six of their choice face down for use in the second half of the round. Play tricks following standard rules, with hearts as the trump suit; after seven tricks, pick up your remaining cards and play six more.
Your score is the difference between the number of tricks won in each half of the game, and after three rounds, whoever has the fewest points wins.
▪️ Rowdy Partners from Jason Hager and Darren Reckner is listed as a 2-4 player game, but from the description it's clear that you want four people at the table for the optimum experience:
Howdy, partners! In the sun-baked dust of Dusty Gulch, where shadows stretch long and strange, disagreements find resolution not with a six-shooter, but in the Rowdy Ring. Here, common sense yields to the thrill of a wrestling match, proving that in this corner of the Wild West, might makes right — one suplex at a time.
Rowdy Partners is a team trick-taking game played over a series of rounds, with each round being composed of eight tricks. Work with your partner to beat the other players by draining their health through calculated strikes and sneaky counters. Swap wrestlers mid-match, unleash signature moves, and collect Pop to gain the upper hand. The team that first pins one of their opponents wins!
