SUMMARY:Tricky Tuesday @ The Peacock Inn
LOCATION:Peacock Inn Hotel
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 9% · why: lots of 
 people going\n\nWelcome to the Tricky Tuesday Meet Up! This is a smaller e
 vent but still the same sized fun! Come join us to play and explore modern
  card games (especially trick-takers and climbing/shedding games)! It's a 
 great chance to learn a new game and meet some new people. You can usually
  find us at the tables in the side room!\n\nThis event is made possible (a
 nd kept free for all members) via the support of Pretty Tricky Games. An A
 ustralian online store for niche and unique imported and indie board and c
 ard games. Some of these you will be able to experience at our events!\n\n
 Bring some games to this event if you can. There are none available at the
  venue. I will always have some packed - feel free to search for the rules
  and prepare yourself to play! These regular suspects include: Skull King\
 , Farm Hand\, The Crew\, Space Dragons\, VIVO\, and Inside Job.\n\nPlease 
 consider others when coming and in the lead up to the event. We want as ma
 ny people there as possible. If you are unable to attend mark yourself as 
 such as soon as you can so others can be notified and attend.\n\nThere's a
 n FAQ below but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach o
 ut.\n\nYour tricky friend\,\nDave\n\nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\nWhat is a
  trick taking game? Good question you handsome person.\n\nGenerally speaki
 ng\, a trick taking game is a card game which is played in a series of rou
 nds known as tricks.\nEach trick is evaluated to determine a winner or tak
 er of that trick and then will usually start - or lead - the next trick.\n
 The goal is usually tied to either winning or losing a number of tricks. T
 his may also come in the form of you guessing how many tricks you will win
  - known as a bid.\nSome games may have a suit that always wins - known as
  a trump.\nMost trick taking games are competitive needing between 3-5 pla
 yers\, others are cooperative\, there are also solo and two-player trick t
 aking games as well!\nPopular trick taking/trick taking adjacent games you
  may have heard of: The Crew\, Skull King\, Cat in the Box\, Scout\, Fox i
 n the Forest\, the classic games of Spades and Hearts\,\n\nWhat makes a Tr
 ick Taking game fun?\n\nThere's so much to trick taking games! They're gen
 erally quick to teach\, quick to play\, have interesting decision spaces\,
  and a wide variety of novelty. Even the classics though can be played tho
 usands of times without getting tiresome. Part of the fun is in the intera
 ction with others\, assessing their moves and countering them\, and how to
  win (or lose) at the right times. You have to stay on your toes\, adapt f
 requently\, and keep tabs on the other players\, what they have played\, a
 nd what they may play next!\n\nDo I need to know how to play/have played a
  trick taking game before?\n\nNot at all\, but it is good to understand th
 e basics and general terminology so you can pick things up a bit easier on
  the night. You can check out this video for a bit of a general breakdown 
 .\n\nIs this event free?\n\nYes\, but please support the venue by purchasi
 ng a drink or two.\n\nI'm on the waitlist can I still come?\n\nUnfortunate
 ly\, no. We have limited capacity and must abide by it.\n\nI don't have a 
 game to bring\, is that okay?\n\nGenerally it will be okay\, but it is enc
 ouraged to bring and share a game where you can! You can always bring a st
 andard deck of cards or tarot cards and learn a card game or two as well!\
 n\nCan I bring a guest?\n\nUnfortunately\, unless they have signed up too 
 it won't be possible. We have a strict limit on guests and the event would
  fill up too quickly otherwise.\n\nHow do I get to the venue?\n\nThe 86 Tr
 am is your best bet and has a stop pretty much right outside of the venue.
 \nThere are two train stations (Westgarth and Northcote) which are within 
 walking distance.\nParking is available in the area but can get busy. If y
 ou don't mind a little walk there is parking down the adjacent street.\n\n
 Dave\, I worry you will win all the games we play. Such an intelligent and
  beautiful man\, you must be a master of the tricks\, is this true?\n\nFir
 stly - thank-you for the kind words\, but secondly - no. I suck at trick t
 aking games and lose more than I win. Yet\, I enjoy them for their variety
 \, high interaction\, and quick nature regardless. You will be fine if you
  don't take things too seriously. It's about fun and meeting people... (bu
 t if you do beat me too often I will ban you from the group and venue...).
