Cooperative Trick Taking and Lots of Empathy Make The Crew a Stellar Experience
When I think of trick-taking games, I almost never think of cooperation. Teamwork (in games like Whist) yes, but cooperation, no. The need to win — or take — tricks, is inherently focused on winning, and the idea of throwing a trick away…
