Goofspiel, also known as “The Game of the Pure Strategy,” is a simple yet strategic card game for 2 or more players. It uses a standard 52-card deck, divided into separate suits for each player and one suit for “prizes.” The objective is to score the most points by bidding wisely to win prize cards. One card is revealed as the “Prize Suit” and players try to collect this suit as tricks are taken. A great twist to this game is all players bid by putting a card face down to represent the number they bid. Once everyone is ready all bids are revealed at once. This little twist makes for an exciting round if the total of the bids is higher than the tricks available.
The game continues until all prize cards have been won. Points are determined by the values of the prize cards captured, with the highest total score winning the game. Goofspiel is ideal for those who enjoy strategy, psychology, and bluffing in a compact format.
