A trick-taking card game in which players collect Diamond Crystals based on the suits they play. Winner receives a $500 Shopping Spree at the Stronghold Games booth!
Description:
This Stronghold game by Mike Fitzgerald is a trick-taking card game in which players collect Diamonds - not cards bearing that suit, mind you, but rather actual "Diamond Crystals". What makes the game of Diamonds different from other trick-taking card games is that when you cannot follow suit you get a "Suit Action" based on what suit you do play. Suit Actions are also taken by the winner of each trick, as well as at the end of a full Round of play. Whoever has the most points in Diamond Crystals at the end of the game wins! Players will play in 3 preliminary rounds; top scorers will advance to elimination play. The winner will receive the title of U.S. National Champion, and a $500 Shopping Spree at the Stronghold Games booth!

Description:
This 2015 release from Smirk & Dagger is a casual-style, card-drafting game in which you quickly build your hand each round, collecting cards you want and poisoning your opponent's hand by passing along cards you think they can't use.

Will you transform all your rivals into ravens - or can they regain their human form in time to score enough victory to win?

The winner will receive the title of U.S. National Champion, and a $250 Shopping Spree at the Smirk & Dagger Games booth!
