I really appreciate that, and it bears repeating that game publishers should do everything in their power to minimize the overall footprint of a game. It’s a neat and tidy production, and it’s worth mentioning every inch of that box is taken up by the components.
I’ll take a bit of a detour, there is a svelte box holding everything here-it’s a seriously tiny little thing, a cardboard critter-a 33-card deck, a board and some forest tokens and gems. Tricks and Treatsįox in the Forest Duet is the sequel to its previous trick-taking game, Fox in the Forest. I’m kicking myself for not playing this sooner! Let’s see why this collaborative game of tricks is such a delight. It's probably why it resonates so well with me, and why I think it’s one of the better small, filler games to come out last year. That essence is well translated into Fox in the Forest Duet. For me, what did it, was the concept of partnership, of mind-melding with the person across from me trying to infer what they had in their hand, or the give and take of winning or losing a trick. It was our go-to game during lunch time, or whenever school days were less about studying and more about waiting for the clock hands to strike 3PM. I, and my friends, and even acquaintances, loved playing Spades. If we were going to welcome the last hour of our childhood, Spades was going to be the way to do it. Legs of desks rattled on linoleum, screeching, while someone pulled out a deck of cards, soon split into hands corralled by eager fingers, organizing and placing like suits together. After finishing exams, inking the pages of countless yearbooks and talking with friends of the very real decisions that will come in the next steps of our lives, our teacher gave us the last hour of the final day of our high school year all to ourselves. One of my most vivid memories involving a trick-taking game came on my last day of high school. Published by: Renegade Games Created by: Foxtrot Games
