Cupid is a trick taking card game for 2 players that uses part of a 52 card deck. Trick values are determined by the cards played: cards might be added together, subtracted, or simply worth one point. It all depends on which cards are in the trick. Both high and low cards are useful for offense and defense, and there is no such thing as a safe lead in this game... unless you pay attention to what has been played carefully. Based loosely on the Roman god of desire's tale, Cupid is won by the player who can manage their cards, track what has been played, and cede control of the lead when needed. —description from the designer
