Every round, every player plays a card into the trick. Then, players draft from the cards played in descending order (highest card gets first dibs).
Quick and tasty! In Pies, you'll play cards to determine the draft order, then draft those exact same cards. Then, bake pies by combining the cards in set recipes.
Will you play high and snag a card you've been looking for? Or, will you try and aim low, bolstering your inventory of plums? Will your opponents allow either strategy?
Special actions on specific cards further complicate the decisions!
Make the most delicious pie mixes to win the game!
Use The Turn Order To Your Advantage
Often, going last gives you an advantage. You have the most information–look at the state of the table and decide if you need to win the trick, play low, or go somewhere in the middle. Don’t forget–winning the trick causes you to be the new lead player!
Use Table Talk To Figure Out The Value Of Cards
The economics of Pies happens fast! Pay attention to what your fellow bakers are picking up. Add a little table talk to suss out what players are going for!
Don’t Sleep On The Special Actions
It can be easy to focus on creating your pies (set collection). Don’t ignore the power of stealing cards or picking up the dog (which protects your pies!).
Don’t worry about suits or trump cards. Pies is all about the numbers!
If you go last, grab a plum card. These can be used like any other fruit!
Use pie tokens to add 3.14 to ties. Or, take the dog to protect your pies!
