Rio Grand Games: Five Cucumbers - Trick Taking Card Game, Ages 14+, 2-6 Players

FIVE CUCUMBERS - Five Cucumbers is a trick taking game with the goal of NOT winning the last trick! It’s not easy. You have two choices on your turn: Take over a trick by playing a high card or discard your lowest card. It is not enough to keep a low card in your hand for the last trick. You will also need some high cards for taking over key tricks. Five Cucumbers is a modern variant of the trick taking game “Agurk”, well-known primarily in Scandinavia. We are excited to bring you our modern version!
The player who wins the final trick must take Cucumbers. If a player has more than five cucumbers, they are out. As more and more players are out, there will be a final hand of two playing for victory! Five Cucumbers is a modern variant of the trick-taking game Agurk, which is well-known in northern Europe. We are excited to bring you our new version of Five Cucumbers!
