Satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else’s misfortune.
Welcome to Schadenfreude, where you’re rooting for your opponents to gain too many points and lose!
Win tricks by coming in second, hoard just enough cards to reach the top, and play cards to shove your opponents over the edge to their demise.
In this castle of delicious misfortune, the only true victor is the one who stops just short of glory.
