The goal is very simple: win as many club cards as possible - that's the only suit that scores points. The lower the club card you take, the more points you could win. But there's a catch: The last player to go out for the round does not score ANY points. So players who get too greedy might pick up a pile of clubs, but end up with 0 points for the round!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst there was Hearts, then there was Spades, and now North Star Games is bringing you Clubs.
