Narwhal is trump! However, not always, because orcas, sperm whales, and blue whales can also turn the tables. In Stichwa(h)l, everyone follows the familiar rules of trick-taking games, but there is a special twist: whoever wins the trick chooses a played card. This card gives them points, but the person who played it receives bonus effects for one of the next rounds. For example, they can change the trump suit or otherwise influence the round.
