How to Play Ducks and Geese, by James Ernest

James Ernest of Crab Fragment Labs explains the rules for Ducks and Geese, the first game designed for the Vines Deck.

Ducks and Geese is a Euchre-like trick-taking game for two teams of two players. The goal is to take the most points, and points include the seven tricks as well as the Ducks (Deuces) and Geese (Farmers).

Vines is a collection of more than 20 original card games from Crab Fragment Labs. You can print your own rules and cards from our free PDFs, or buy the professionally-made deck from our friends at DriveThruCards.
