Skull King is a trick-taking game similar to Wizard, Euchre and Spades, with players needing to state how many tricks they think they'll win each round. A unique element of this game is that bidding takes place simultaneously, leading to rounds that are sometimes over, or under-bid. As players must win the exact number of tricks that they bid to earn points, winning too many tricks is just as bad as winning too few and this leads to intense competition where losing a trick can be as exciting as winning one.
The new cards in the Skull King Expansion Pack add both additional suited cards that follow the standard game rules for Skull King as well as new special cards that add new abilities to the play.
