Trick-taking games have been around for a long time, but they’re hotter than ever. Andrew serves as your guide to the landscape for this Meeple Mountain expedition.

Meeple Mountain has a great article on trick taking games. I want to try Sail, as my wife and I love cooperative games.

That's a great selection of games.

Worth noting that there is an excellent 2-player variant for Yokai Septet. It started out as a fan variant but the designer liked it so much that it was adopted as official. I've been playing this a lot in the Trickster's Table app.

Crew's 2p variant works well too.

Good article, really great game suggestions. I particularly enjoyed Cat in the Box.

No mention of Euchre, which is also a wonderful trick-taking game that uses (some of) a standard deck

There are a whole lot of trick-taking games in traditional card space:

the Hakka "Six Tigers" game
several games of the related "Six Red" deck are trick-taking
the Thai game จับหมู (Catch the Pig) which uses a western-style deck
a bewildering variety of tarot games
... and a cast of thousands.
