About the Game

Faux Gold is a must-lead may-follow trick taker.

As disillusioned alchemist apprentices, you want to smuggle out as many ingredients as possible to sell them on the sly.

The lead player will be forced to play a certain suit in the trick, while the follow player may play any card they want. Depending on the combination of cards (and the lack of understanding of chemistry), the lead suit might change along with other effects like setting trump, or reversing the strength of ranks.
