Overthrone is an impressive little card game that offers a great experience - provided you are not scared of direct conflict. It is a trick taking game (kind of) with A LOT of twists and turns. You can steal, bribe and even assasinate your opponents cards in this game - which other trick-taking game lets you do that? |
