Booray Bayou

Booray, or Bourré, is the trick-taking card game of Cajun country, and Booray Bayou deals it out on a lantern-lit porch over the bayou. You play against ten painted critters, from Beau the gator to Pearl the possum, and each has its own nerve.

Every hand you make the call. Look at your cards and the turned-up trump, then stay in or sit out. Stay in and you can swap cards from the stock, then the tricks begin: follow suit, beat the card on the table if you can, trump when you can't. Take the most tricks for the hand bonus. Take none at all and that's a booray.
