trick-taking game

Trick-taking games are card games with a distinct and common play structure: Each round of play is divided into units called tricks, during which each player selects one card from his or her hand. These games compose one of the most diverse and prolific genre of card games. One theory regarding the prolific nature of the genre is that they are popular because of the relatively intense play complexity — including both  psychological and mathematical elements — that  emerges from a relatively simple structure.
