St. Patrick

St Patrick is a trick-taking game played over several rounds in which you compete to retain the most life points by using relics to avoid snake bites.Each round has three phases: deal cards, recover relics, and hunt snakes. Watch out, though, because if players are greedy and all the relics are recovered prior to the snake hunt, the relics turn to curses and each player loses as many life points as the number of relics they've collected. Keep playing rounds until after a snake hunt one of the players has lost all 20 of their starting life points. At the end of that round, whoever has the most life points wins.
