Description from Boardgamegeek.com

The Icarus Club is a trick-taking game from Japan (Also called Backhander). It takes a theme of an illegal casino run by gangsters. The player who wins the most money loses the game, because they get picked up by the police. So the real winner is the player with the second highest score.

Before play starts, a line of cards is laid out (similar to !nversion), and this dictates the lead suit for each trick. However, players can alter the line by paying bribes. In this way, players can win tricks unexpectedly.

Does it have English rules?

Many of these games are from non English speaking countries. It is safe to assume that most of these games do not include an English rulebook in the box. Translations for many of these games can be found on Boardgamegeek.com.
