The objective of heroes and tricks is to be the player to win the most tricks (there by having the most heroes) in the game. Each trick is lead by a hero card that defines the target suit and color, dramatically changing the play dynamic of typical trick taking games. Players then play into the trick, but only see the last played card and need to use deduction, item play, and hand management to win the most tricks.
