Zip Zap Zop

Zip Zap Zop is a unique combination of deck-building and trick-taking that allows players to play a trick-taking game where they decide what cards they get dealt. This new concept gives the agency and strategy of a deck-building game, while maintaining the quick-paced, tactical nature of a trick-taking game.

The theme is integrated throughout, with players taking on the role of comedians in an improv show. The card play has the players interacting with each other in an improv scene and the new cards they buy are suggestions from the audience for the next scene.

Zip Zap Zop’s trick-taking follows the rules of a standard trick-taker, with a few differences:

You may be able to play more than 1 card to the trick. Some cards are modifiers that modify a played card. If a player ever plays the same number as the previous card, then that player may play an additional card to the trick. The played cards then add, forming a new number. After playing tricks, players will buy cards using the number of tricks they won as currency.
