St Patrick (English)

St. Patrick, originally released as Salvage, is a simple trick-taking game that combines the fun of Hearts with the evaluation of Oh Hell and the fairness of Duplicate Bridge. Everyone starts with 20 points and takes damage throughout the game. The game ends when a player reaches 0, at which point the player with the most points wins. In the original Salvage game, an oil tanker catches fire and you are part of the rescue team sent to put it out. You'll take damage when you put out the fire, but before the operation begins, you can salvage oil as insurance against the costs you'll likely incur. In St. Patrick, you now compete to retain the most life points by using relics to ward off snakebites.
