Skull King

 

There is a rumor that pirates fought their battles at the card table, announcing numbers of tricks and adhering to the announcement as exactly as possible. In ten rounds you are dealt 1-10 cards and announce the number of intended tricks. You need to follow suit, Skull cards are trumps; instead of the color lead you can play special cards: Escape - value 0 to avoid a trick; Mermaid - highest color card; Pirates - higher than all colors and Mermaid; Scary Mary for Escape or Pirate and Skull King - only beaten by Mermaid. Depending on tricks taken and deviation from the announcement you score plus or minus and bonuses from cards showing coins.
