Five cucumbers is a trick-taking game with the goal of not winning the last trick! you have two choices on your turn: take over a trick by playing a equal or higher card or you must play your lowest card. You must try to keep a low card in your hand for the last trick but also you'll need high cards for taking key tricks! the player who wins the final trick must take cucumbers. If a player has more than five cucumbers they are out. As more and more players are out there will be a final hand of two playing for victory!.
