The CardForge cast

Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.

  1. The Finesseur Finesse (force an opponent's high card via positional play; bridge / hearts / spades)
  2. The Squeezer Squeeze (force a discard that gives up a winner; advanced bridge + hearts)
  3. The Endplayer Endplay (throw opponent in to force a losing lead; bridge / hearts / whist)
  4. The Counter Card-counting / pip-tracking (track played cards to deduce remaining hands; gin / bridge / blackjack-style)
  5. The Long-Suit Suit establishment (set up a long suit to run for tricks late in the hand; bridge / whist / spades)
  6. The Bluffer Deception under uncertainty (poker betting; representing a hand you don't have)
  7. The Discarder Strategic discard (hearts: avoid points; spades / gin / rummy: shed dead wood)
  8. The Trumpkeeper Trump management (when to ruff, when to hold; whist / spades / euchre / pinochle)
  9. The Forcer Magic forcing (the spectator "freely chooses" the card you intended)
  10. The Shuffler False-shuffle / stack management (control card order while appearing to randomize; mathematical card magic)
