Down in the Big Bayou, you're just gettin' started, lookin' to make a name for yourself.

Bayou Boss is a sly ol' trick-takin' card game, loaded with two BIG honkin' twists:

Y'all don't wanna be winnin' them tricks, no sir! The one with the fewest tricks at the end struts out as the champ. Your job's to bamboozle the rest into haulin' in more tricks than you.
There'll be cards sittin' pretty, face-up in the middle o' the table. When the round's done, folks take turns reachin' in to grab what they fancy. Best be plannin', cher, 'cause you don't wanna be left gnawin' on them sorry scraps.
Outsmart 'em, outplay 'em, and claim your crown as the Boss o' the Bayou!

Bayou Boss is a fun must-follow, must-trump Trick-Taking game in which players compete to take the least tricks possible. During the game players will also compete to take good cards from a central pool, the Swamp - but the only way to ensure you get the good cards is to win tricks...which is precisely what you don't want to do! Aided and exacerbated by Characters from the Bayou, the game allows players to manipulate the run of the tricks to their advantage - or to fall victim to a Character who may force you to win a trick or may change the trump. The game is highly replayable, including 10 different character cards, not all of whom will appear in each game, and is deliberately designed to scale well from 2-8 players.
