Description (845 chars)

In the world of Savage Bowl, anything's game. Late hits, excessive celebrations, cheap shots, crushing tackles, bribing the officials — do anything you can to score in the flashiest way! While surviving all this carnage, your goal in Savage Bowl is to win an exact number of tricks (based on the player count). Play cleverly as the ref can penalize you for being too savage. In the first half of the game, they give yellow card penalties to the highest-value cards in each trick, then the second most valuable player wins the trick. The carded player also has to sit out the next round! In the second half, the ref's had enough and anything goes — no more yellows. Savage Bowl is a must-follow trick-taking game with five suits (numbered 1-13) and a trump suit (numbered 1-8). Score only if you win the correct number of tricks.
