Description:

Icarus and his friends have crafted handmade wings. Both day and night, jubilant with their newfound freedom they fly higher and higher, but flying too close to the sun can drop them from the sky.

In this trick-taking game, winning tricks moves you ever higher in the sky. But at some point, players will want to start losing trcks to avoid flying right into the sun. But that can be tricky indeed, as playing any 5 card will turn it from day to night (or night to day), rotating your cards and turning higher ranks cards to low cards and visa-versa. If they can force you to fly too high, they may be in better position to win.

Features dual cards, with one value during the day and another at night. Both add to 10, so a 3 would rotate to a 7. Plus Sun cards are Trump during the day and Moon cards are Trump at night.

Rethink your trick taking strategy, playing mid-road cards to hopeless hands, as 1's and 2's can be quite powerful when flipped to 8's and 9's.
