The principles are pretty hazy, but the explanations are interesting.

I am considering grabbing some from their store: Store — New Mill Industries
Anyone wants to see if the shared postage is worthwhile for you? I would grab some of the pre-order ones so I won’t be getting these by AireCon in March

Ladies, Gentlemen and everything in between. I give you Xylotar!
A trick taker where your hand is organised by another player, so you know the relative strength of the cards and the colour, but not the rank.

Track Grail Games’ 2024 Card Game Collection’s Kickstarter campaign on BackerTracker (backerkit.com)
In case, anyone missed the Grail Games crowdfunding which includes Bottle Imp. I thought Bottle Imp is cool where you play hot potato with the bottle.
You can play a card that is higher than the value of the bottle imp. And if everyone did the same, highest wins. However, playing a card lower than the bottle is a Faustian play. The player with the highest “lower” card (hope that makes sense) wins the trick, but the winner gets the bottle.
The bottle’s new value is the winning card’s value. Meaning that the bottle’s value keeps going down. Which is thematic to the short story this game is based on
If you end up with the bottle at round’s end, you lose, regardless of points.

Why why oh why has it been shoehorned into the ‘Werewolf Universe ™’
The original theme (owls guarding a fortress) looks way better and is more interesting
