Stormcaster is a trick-taking card game for 3 to 6 players. Each round you forecast exactly how many tricks you will take, then play the hand and try to land on that number. Hit it and you score. Miss it and you lose points.
The deck has four suits, Sun, Rain, Wind and Frost, plus ten weather cards. A Storm beats any suited card, trump included, and the Comet beats even a Storm and counts as two tricks. A sky card turned up each round sets trump, and a barometer shows your odds for each forecast before you commit.
Ways to play:
• Solo against bots, with three difficulty levels
• Pass & play on one phone or tablet
• Online with friends: open a table, send them the five-character code, and bots fill any empty seats. Play together across Android, iPhone, iPad and the web at stormcaster.app.
