Magenta: Fives – Trick-Taking with a Deliciously Sneaky Twist 🃏💜

It looks like a classic trick-taker… until you flip a card face-down and it becomes a 5.

In Magenta: Fives, you’ll play a familiar follow-suit trick-taking game—then break everyone’s assumptions with the game’s signature move: any card can be played face-down as a Magenta 5. Win tricks, collect cards, and push your luck as you try to make the total value of your won cards land on the magic number: 25… without going over.

🖐️ Classic Trick-Taking, Modern Tension

Lead a color, follow if you can, and fight for control—then decide when it’s worth winning a trick (and when it’s safer to let someone else take it).

🕵️ The Face-Down “5” Mind Game

Instead of playing a card normally, you can slam it face-down as a Magenta 5. It’s a perfect way to bluff, dodge, or spring a surprise—because nobody knows what you just sacrificed. (And only one face-down 5 can appear in a trick.)

🎯 Hit 25… Don’t Bust

You’re aiming for your captured cards to total 25 or less—closer is better, but go over and you bust. Every trick becomes a delicious risk-reward decision.

Why You’ll Love Magenta: Fives:

• 🧠 Smart & tense: familiar rules with constant “do I dare?” decisions.
• 💜 Signature Magenta twist: the face-down 5 creates bluffing and surprise plays.
• ⚡ Plays in about 30 minutes: perfect for weeknights and “one more game” sessions.

Play it safe… or flip it as a 5 and change everything. Welcome to Magenta: Fives. 💜🃏
