Haggis

Haggis is a climbing card game for 2-3 in the same family as Zheng Fen and Big Two. It borrows and recombines elements from its parent games (card combinations, bombs, scoring for cards in hand, scoring for cards collected in tricks) and mixes in equally distributed wild cards and betting that you'll be the first to empty your hand of cards. Sean Ross designed Haggis over a number of years, extensively testing over thousands of hands to create a very engaging and balanced game. Gary Simpson has done a masterful job on the original artwork, that has to be seen to be appreciated.

The 2nd Edition of Haggis will feature the highest quality materials you have come to expect from the top "Euro" game publishers. From the thick, linen finished cards, a practical formed insert and thick box, we have choosen the best manufacturers available to produce this (soon to be) classic game.

There are a number of reviews and session reports that have been posted at board game geek. I’d suggest you have a look, here are few highlights:

Alex Rockwell - "Its pretty brilliant, and you can experience a game in the genre of Tichu, with only 2 or 3 players!"

Justus Pendleton - "My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed Haggis, as should be clear by the number of games we played in quick succession."

Jeff Mays - "Haggis is one of the best two player card games I have encountered. The rules are concise and clearly written, and it is an easy game to teach."

Ryan Metzler - "The wild card play, unique bombing mechanic and interesting scoring make Haggis a game that stands apart from its well-established counterpart (Tichu). People looking for a deep 2-3 player card game will definitely not be disappointed here."

archivists - "I love Haggis and have played hundreds of games"

Tom Shields - "Wonderful & beautiful"
