Those Pesky Garden Gnomes

This is a trick-taking cards game with a twist or two!

The game uses standard trick-taking rules and is played over several hands. In every hand, each player has his own goal for the hand – and these change randomly with each new hand. Thus, a player knows only his goal and not those of the other players. A player’s score for a hand is based on how close he comes to achieving his goal. The points a player scores are added to his game score. To win, a player has to have the lowest game score at the end of the game.
