Advanced cards
Optional cards added when artifacts are enabled. All count as special cards — playable even when you could follow suit.
Loot
Loot
- When you take a Loot card in a trick, you may form a Loot alliance with the player who played the Loot.
- +20 each at round end if both allies made their bids.
- See Scoring.
Kraken
Kraken
- When Kraken is played, the trick is destroyed — no winner.
- The player who would have won leads the next trick.
- Kraken mid-trick can change follow-suit obligations for remaining players in edge cases.
White Whale
White Whale
- When Whale is played, special cards cannot win the trick.
- The highest numbered suited card wins, regardless of suit.
- Ties: first played wins.
- If only specials were played, the trick is discarded and the Whale player leads next.
Kraken + Whale same trick
Only the effect of the second card played applies.
- Kraken then Whale → Whale rules (highest suited wins).
- Whale then Kraken → Kraken rules (trick destroyed).
