About Tricky Landing

The circus has come to town, and the troupe of clowns have an extravaganza prepared. All participants are ready for a series of death-defying stunts as they are fired from colorful cannons across the big top. Who will make the most spectacular landings and put their competitors to shame? Find out in Tricky Landing, a dexterity-based trick-taking game in which rather than play cards, you throw cards toward a target card! Make a successful landing for your card to be part of the trick, with the order in which cards land determining the lead suit. Miss the target and you'll set the trump for the next trick, but if more than one player misses the target, you all take a penalty. Play three rounds to determine which death-defying clowns have put on the best performance. —description from the designer
