About the Game

Welcome to the kitchen of the dumpling masters, Trick Dumpling! Keeping in mind the motto "Quantity over Quality", fill your little steamer with as many dumplings as possible. Wait, that coworker next to you looks like a slacker? Well, they're rumored to be the owner's nephew, so you'd better not bother them. Well, unless they're the spy next door.

Trick Dumpling differs from the usual trick-taking game in that the highest numbered cards are discarded when the total of the numbers in each suit exceeds a certain number. The reason for this is that the steamer is very small and can only hold up to 10 dumplings, as the restaurant has saved on capital expenditure.

(maximum) 10 dumplings per dish! Compete with other cooks to complete the perfect dish of dumplings by reading the dynamically changing strength of the cards. But don't forget to check your secret identity. If you're the owner's nephew, or a spy snuck in from the shop next door, you won't have to work so hard on your dumplings, will you?
