About the Game

Two crooks pretend to make clothes visible only to the intelligent people, deceiving the emperor and his court. In the final parade, a child reveals that the emperor is naked, exposing the fraud to everyone.

The Emperor's New Tricks is an avoidance trick taking game for 3 to 5 players. The objective is to be the player with as few points as possible in 3 rounds. In this game you as a player will play 2 cards in each trick: one of them will be the number and the other one will be the color (suit).

Inspired by the tale: The Emperor's New Clothes.
