Loopin' Gluey is a trick-taking card game for 2-4 players stuck in a loop.
The PDF contains the full game rules and an optional score board you can print and play. All you need is a standard deck of playing cards.
I recommend playing the variant game ending rules playing for score first.
The game can be played solo simulating an opponent who makes random choices. This will give a sense of the mechanics, but it plays very differently.
I'm pretty happy I got the rules down to a single page while still having them reasonably formatted and complete. I learned Inkscape for this project to make the game board, which also makes a pretty cool header.
I was toying with making 2s also worth points when taken to increase chaos/give another way to push someone into having to go around the loop again. I've left it out of the published version, but if you experiment with this variant I'd love to hear feedback.
