Five Cucumbers is a trick taking game with the goal of NOT winning the last trick! Its 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.
