About the Game

There is no master today. That's right, why don't you all try using forbidden books? No problem, as long as you clean it up by the time you get back. Wow, beautiful magic is coming out of this book. Is this supposed to… Too bad, I have to use the forbidden book to close the forbidden book!

Shut the Books is a trick-taking game where you bid with cards. Aim to win the trick with a card of the same color or number as the card you played. The number of tricks performed also changes depending on the number of cards played.
