Haggis (2010)

Haggis (card game)

Haggis is a shedding card game designed for two to three players, developed by Sean Ross over several years and first published by Indie Boards and Cards in late 2010. The game is named after haggis, the national dish of Scotland, which is a type of pudding composed of the liver, heart, and lungs of a sheep, minced and mixed with beef or mutton suet and oatmeal, and seasoned with various spices. The game’s designer, Sean Ross, has Scottish heritage, and the name “Haggis” was chosen partly in honor of this.

Why is Haggis (card game) Popular?

Haggis is popular and significant because it is the first game to successfully create a climbing, trick-taking game designed specifically for two to three players, while most previous games required four players or more. The game has received praise for its innovative evenly distributed, face card “bombs,” which help balance hand strength and enhance the strategic element of the game, making it suitable for two-person play.
