From BoardGameGeek
Take a seat at the most dangerous card table in Eldris. In the shadowed corners of The Gutter's End, every shuffle of the deck could lead to riches or ruin. Crits & Tricks is a high-stakes trick-taking game where the quests you embark on each round will reward you with loot. Each quest you draft has a unique objective you'll strive to complete by pairing your rolled dice with mercenaries from unique classes, Each class not only sets the win condition for the trick but also possesses a powerful CRIT ability that could shift the odds of the game in your favor. Rise to the Barkeep's Challenge in every round, winning the right number of tricks to claim extra loot. Lighten the pockets of your new 'friends' to win the game-but be wary, or you might walk away with more rivals than riches. -description from the publisher
