In the seasonal trick-taking game Holly Oak, 3-5 revelers mark the passing of the seasons, seeking the favor of the Celtic Oak and Holly kings, locked in their endless cycle of growth, decay, and renewal.<\/p>\n
You must follow the current season if you can, but if you can’t, then you may play any card. If you play a card of the next season, the season changes!<\/p>\n
A change in season often alters who wins that trick, as the highest rank card of the season that the trick ends in, wins that trick. These potential mid-trick season changes means that standard trick-taking maneuvers, such as drawing out trump, often won’t work.<\/p>\n
Players score points either by taking the 6 Holly and Oak kings, worth 1 or 2 points each, or by taking no tricks at all, worth 8, 5, or 3 points in 3, 4, and 5 player games respectively.<\/p>\n
Between no-trick scoring and mid-trick trump changes, Holly Oak becomes a game of manipulating both the lead and current season to your advantage. Can you master the changing seasons?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":59991,"template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[578],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-59990","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-3-card-games","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"sale","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/59990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=59990"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=59990"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getyourfunon.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=59990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
