Pies is a quick and tasty trick-taking game in which players play fruit cards over the course of three rounds with the goal of collecting combinations of ingredients to prepare the tastiest pies

Each round consists of six tricks (five in a five-player game). One card is played by each player, with the person playing the highest-value card drafting one card from the trick into their display, with others following in order of descending card value, with the last player also receiving a Plum card. Special actions can be triggered at this point, allowing players to steal fruit cards or call the dog to protect their fruit from other thieves!

At the end of the game, the player with the most valuable pie mixes wins.

  • Trick taking to determine auction order is a very clever and rarely seen mechanism.
  • Clever trick taking, card combination and collection to fulfil recipes and collect tie breaking pies or faithful guard dog gives you multiple options on each hand.
  • Beautiful reimplementation of a cult classic Plums.
  • Trick taking with a purpose.

Contents:

  • 93 Fruit Cards
  • 9 Pie Tokens

Mia ★★★★★

Grabbed this for a game night and we ended up playing four times in a row. The three-round structure keeps it tight, and hunting for ingredient combos to build the best pie is way more satisfying than I expected from a simple trick-taking game.

Edward ★★★★★

Three rounds fly by when you're frantically matching fruit cards to build the best pie combos — my group finished a full game in under twenty minutes and immediately wanted another. The trick-taking mechanics stay simple enough for beginners but the ingredient combinations give you real choices ever

Hazel ★★★★★

The fruit-card combos make every hand feel like a tiny puzzle, and the three-round structure keeps the pace snappy even with a full table. I’ve already pulled it out twice this week for lunch breaks, and it’s become my go-to when we need something quick but still thinky.
