The setup
What you are walking into
Capote is an online card game for 2 to 6 players that mixes classic trick-taking rules with bold bets and chaotic special cards. Each match is set around a casual card table full of colorful characters—and in Capote, no win is guaranteed, and any card can flip the game. Players bet how many tricks they think they’ll win, then play their cards round by round to hit that number exactly. If you win more or fewer tricks than you bet, you’ll take a virtual shot for each one off. Hit four shots and… you’re out. Capotado! If the cards aren’t in your favor, don’t worry—messing with your friends is also a valid strategy. Play your special cards at the right time to twist the odds, sabotage their bets, or turn a sure win into chaos.
