TRICKARUS is a clever, high-flying card game where winning too much can send you crashing down.

The legendary Icarus and his friends have crafted handmade wings and taken to the skies. Jubilant with their newfound freedom, they soar higher and higher—but flying too close to the sun can bring disaster.

In this must-follow trick-taking game, winning tricks sends you ever higher into the sky. But at some point, players will want to start losing tricks to avoid flying right into the sun.

That’s easier said than done, because playing any “5” card turns day to night—or night to day—rotating your cards and flipping high cards into low cards, and low cards into high cards.

If your opponents can force you to fly too high, they may be in the perfect position to win.

A wonderfully satisfying Japanese import that we have the honor of bringing to the U.S.

  • A unique trick-taking game where winning tricks can be just as dangerous as losing them.

  • Features a clever day/night flipping mechanism that changes card values mid-game.

  • A stylish and satisfying Japanese import with quick, strategic gameplay.

Olivia O. ★★★★★

The whole table groaned when I pushed my luck one card too far and lost my wings — that risk-reward twist makes every round feel tense in the best way. Rules clicked after one playthrough, and the Icarus theme actually fits the mechanic instead of feeling pasted on.

Eli ★★★★★

The push-your-luck tension is real here, since every big win edges you closer to crashing. We were all leaning over the table by the final round, and the Icarus theme makes the risk feel perfectly thematic.

Leo ★★★★★

Teaching this to my game group took maybe ten minutes and we played four rounds straight. The twist where winning too many tricks sends you crashing like Icarus is genuinely clever, it keeps everyone from running away with the lead. Cards feel sturdy too, survived a very enthusiastic table.
