Rewind + Tricks In My Mind (TIIM) Expansion - How to Play

In Rewind, players play a must-follow, fixed trump trick-taking game. In the first round, they mark their rank in the trick. Then, at the end of the hand, they play in reverse, trying to get the same rank they got before in each trick.

What an innovative trick taking game.
The idea of placing the cubes and then removing them is so unique and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for covering another trick taking game 😊

Yeah the shared activity of placing cubes after each trick and then figuring out how to remove them is quite pleasing.
Thanks for watching!

The regular game seems to be very good, the idea to try to rank the same on every trick in reverse order seems to be a good challenge. Tricks In My Mind, on the other hand, I don't know. I've tried to evaluate what I would do based on this first trick, but the decision is too open and there is no much information to do it, specially in the beginning of the first round. Maybe if we play 10 rounds of tricks, and on the second phase of the game we could bet with, let's say, 5 cubes, in the first 5 tricks, and then the last 5 would close the deal, the decision would be more interesting, because with the first 5 you can try to predict a pattern (based on the cards you saw on the first phase), but the last 5 tricks you could try to mess with the bids of your opponents while trying to match yours.

Certainly could be an interesting variant to try out for Tricks In My Mind!
