Overview

Roulette-Taking Game is, according to an apocryphal story in the rules, a taboo folk game from France that is only allowed to be played by locals, and the designer negotiated for 50 years to be able to license it. The game is a trick-taking game where the winner of each trick earns the right to place a bet on a roulette-type betting mat. What players are betting on is the rank and suit of the card that wins the last trick. A new dealer will lead each round but will not participate in the bidding.
