Solar Eclipse is a trick-taking game of cunning combinations as players play two cards to every trick. There are two suits in this game, sun and moon cards. Sun cards are always played face up, but moon cards can be used to deceive and be played face down. The ultimate combination is a pair of sun and moon cards which share a value.

In order to achieve victory, players must skillfully deceive their opponents and predict how many tricks they'll win each round.
