Prey is a 12-trick trick-taking game where 3-4 players play the first six tricks with one side of numbers (predators), then FLIP their cards over to play the final six (prey). You must follow suit if you can. The goal of the game is to be the first player to win your assigned number of tricks(determined by dice roll), twice. Can you manipulate your hand (and, the upside down cards in your hand!) in clever ways to win? -description from the publisher
Learn to play
Prey has 3 videos from 3 creators: 1 review and 2 how-to-play guides. They date from 2024 to April 2025.
To learn the rules, start with "All the Games with Steph: Prey" by Steph Hodge, which runs 23 min.
For an opinion before you buy, start with "Prey" by Jamie, Tabletoptiktok.
If you like it, try dungeon in memory and Emergency Exit Only, also by Toru Ii, or SCOUT and dnup, which share several of its mechanics.
