Who's better at blowing bubbles without bursting them? In this cute yet cutthroat duel, two gum aficionados compete to chew the perfect-sized wad. Win tricks to collect cards and grow your gum, but go overboard and - POP!... it's gone. Only the player who controls their stickiness, predicts their opponent's moves, and plays with just the right tension will become the bubble-blowing champion. Bubble Gum is a two-player must-follow trick-taking game with a trump color. Each round, players are dealt 10 cards from a 24-card deck, with one of the 4 leftover cards publicly revealed to set the trump suit. When a player wins a trick, they add the opponent's played card to their "mouth" (score pile). If the total value exceeds 14, the gum bursts and the pile resets. The loser adds the opponent's played card to their hand, then discards one. After 10 tricks, the player whose gum totals closest to 14 without exceeding it wins the round. Win two rounds to win the game. This game blends counting, tempo control, and clever discards in a fast-paced chew-off full of tension and tactical gumplay.
