The Dwarf King (BGG Link)

I finally broke down and purchased this game. I played it only once and thought it was an awesome redo of Hearts/Spades. The game takes the engine of Hearts/Spades, but puts a twist on it. Each round, the game has a mission that is selected by one of the players (one who has the 5 of knights). The mission might be positive points are yield of collecting something or doing something. However, they might yield negative points for collecting something or doing something. In addition, each round a unique card is added to the deck that gives the owning player special powers. The game is mad fun and I have been eyeing it for quite some time.
