About the Game

In this tense and minimalist trick-taking game, you’ll gather valuable bee cards to earn points — but if you ever capture the same bee twice, you suffer an anaphylactic shock and are immediately knocked out with zero points. Sharp timing, deadly traps, and ruthless hand-passing set the stage for a brutal test of survival from the very first card.

AnaPhylaxis is a trick-taking game where players must follow suit, navigate shifting trump interactions, and balance risk through a limited-use Pass mechanic. With a 28-card deck featuring duplicated high-value bees, players aim to win point cards without duplicating colors and numbers. Each round allows two critical Passes to avoid dangerous tricks, while a Pokémon-style weakness system lets certain suits beat others depending on the lead. Hands are slightly manipulated through card-passing, and the game’s fast knockouts and tactical sacrifices ensure that every decision could be fatal or victorious. The player with the highest total after several brutal rounds wins.
