What is "Barbu"?
Barbu is a trick-taking card game from France, played by four players using a standard 52-card deck. Unlike most card games, Barbu is divided into several rounds, each with a unique set of rules and goals. The game is often played as a series of seven rounds, where players take turns choosing a round type, such as avoiding certain tricks, avoiding hearts, or trying to win tricks with specific cards. The goal is to score the most points by succeeding in the selected challenges while minimizing penalties in others. Each player starts with an equal chance to choose the type of round, making strategy and planning critical. Barbu combines elements of trick-taking, strategy, and variety, offering a unique and dynamic gameplay experience.
