The game uses a deck of 36 cards (in some cases — 52. Jokers in the game are not used.) And involved two to six players; in the case of the game deck of 52 cards can play up to 8 players. The hierarchy of cards in a deck of 36 cards (from the smaller to the larger-esteem): 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, B, D, K, T. Seniority cards in the deck of 52 cards: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7, 8, 9, 10, B, D, K, T. seniority of colors to play the fool is not defined.
Each is dealt 6 cards, the next (or last, and possibly any of the deck) card is opened and it sets the trump suit for the game, and the rest of the deck is put on top so that the trump card was visible to all. Ace can be the trump card. Not trump ace bounces in the game. The goal — to get rid of all the cards. The last player to not get rid of cards remain in the «fool». Party fool called «round».
Draw
The game also can draw (draw) — when the player who makes the move, walking latest maps and slugger latest maps bounces, with no more cards in the deck, or from other players, that is, as a result of the end of the game card is left none. The result of this match is treated by an agreement between a game. If the game is «without anyone’s» (the last hand of the fool is worse), the loser is the last straying.
Playing the game
First of all, players must decide what type of game it most interesting. This can be a Snap, translated fool or other less common species. The number of participants in the game can vary from two to eight people, depending on the card deck. But as a rule, when you play the fool activated deck of 36 cards, in rare cases of 52 cards. The aim of the game boils down to get rid of all the cards. A player who is not able to do, is recognized fool.
Before the round cards need to shuffle. Then each player is dealt one card, starting with the player left of the dealer in a clockwise direction, and so up to 6 cards. The remaining deck is laid on the table face down and one card from this deck (usually it is removed from the top) is turned face up and placed under the rest of the deck. Suit of this card will be the trump suit for that round, that is, will cover all the other suits. This card is part of the game as the last card in the deck, on the same basis as the rest of the card. If the entire deck will be immediately distributed to the participants of the game, the last trump card is recognized in the deck. If there was a change between the players or one or more players come into play, or gone out of it then the game starts from the beginning.
Game starts a man with his hands on the trump card of the smallest dignity. Walking, playing the fool, always clockwise, ie, sitting to the left under the player. The second round starts with the progress under the man who became a fool in the first hand. This is called «to teach the fool» (equivalent to the concept of walking «a fool», «a fool»). Perhaps, by agreement between the players start the next game «under the fool», ie in this case the setting player is the player sitting to the left of the loser man [1].
During the game, a player penetrating puts on the table any of its existing cards, and slugger player (the player, under which the entry is made) must either break it or take. To beat a card, available at the hands of cards to put on her highest card of the same suit or trump card if the card is not broken trump. If broken card — ace, then it can only beat the highest trump. Once a player has beaten the map, setting the player, or someone of his subjects can put another card of any suit, the dignity of which coincides with the dignity of any of the cards already on the table (to throw the map). Usually as nationals can speak any players other than kicking, but in some embodiments, the game has limitations, for example, only neighboring slugger. Usually pop accepted one card, with the right to throw up a visiting card belongs to the first, then, if he refuses to pop on to say the keyword «End!», This right passes to his left, etc. circle. Sometimes, however, allows for a pop to any player outside the order of priority and in any amount (but so that the total number of cards laid under slugger did not exceed the permissible). Allow such liberties impractical because of the possibility of conflict between nationals of the players, a pop-cards simultaneously. You can throw up as many cards that the total number of cards that must hit the batter does not exceed the number of cards in his hands at the moment when he began to fight back, or the number 6, if the cards in his hands more. If slugger player can not or does not want to beat at least one card, he must take all. If a player has beaten all the cards (strayed), then all the cards involved in this approach, flipped and folded in a separate pile — a retreat that is no longer involved in the game and peek in which it is impossible to end the round. While cards on the table does not bat or the player does not take them yourself, take new cards from the deck can not. Once docked played, the players take turns to get from the remaining deck of cards to six, of course, if they hold less than six cards. Take the first card from the deck should penetrating player, then take the card subjects, starting with the player to the left of the struggling, etc. clockwise. The last card takes slugger. Once in the deck of cards left, the game continues to remain at the hands of the cards by the same rules (except transoms cards from the deck) as long as all players, except, perhaps, one does not use up all their cards. The remaining cards a player is a loser (fool). There are also versions of the game with the distribution of seats at the time of disposal of the game (the first player to get rid of their cards is the winner, the second — the runner-up, etc.).
Thrown
Is the most common. You can go to any number of cards of the same rank. The player, under which the go, can close the card, and might take. Walketh player has the right to throw cards that match the dignity with any card on the table, including those who went and those that wing. If the game is played more than two players, the player who walked, has the right of first steps, but when he came to walk, the other players have the right to «throw» (add whipping) their cards by the same rules. Slugger should cover them as well.
However, you can not throw up more cards than remains in the struggling player — that is, if a player has three cards, he put one, and he decided to accept it, he can only add two after. Throws walked card player. If he has nothing to throw, then pop the novice player in a clockwise direction. Walketh player can throw again, when it again reaches to turn around. You also can not throw up more than five cards, even if a player has more cards in his arms, that is, the total number of cards to rebound — six.
- First Release — 5 cards (after the first bits discourage 6);
- 5-6 cards of the same suit in the hands of one or more players in the distribution oblige to retake.
Conversion
The rules are the same as in the teeter, but with one complication: if a player under whose walk is a card of the same value, he can put it next to the already lying card and pass both cards to the next player to beat («translate»). The next player can transfer again if he has a card of the same value. You can not transfer more cards than the next player has on hand. When the cards have been translated into a player who can not translate them on, he becomes a slugger, and shall cover all or take. Next game coincides with Snap.
In addition, there is the concept of «travel», a special rule is valid translation when translating a trump card, for this it is not necessary to put on the table, just to show. This rule is valid once during the round. If the player, take advantage of travel transferred a second time during the round, then re-translation trump card must be put on the table. Also can not be translated into the last lap, that is out of the game «transfer».
When playing the fool transferable «two by two» or «three on three» rules are the same. In this case, at the end of the game one of the players does not change the direction of translation, that is, when you play in a clockwise direction translation is carried out strictly on the player to the left. If the player no longer has left cards, translation is carried out on the next opposing player to the left. Similarly, if a player of any team finished the game last post, the course is a player of the same team, the next clockwise.
Peaks peaks
In this version of the game peaks are considered a special suit, released only in that the cards of the suit should be covered only cards of the same suit (a trump can not). In this case, the cards can not be peaks, and the peaks are not trump cards (can not beat the cards of other suits). If as a trump card still falls spades, then the game is no-trump. Queen of spades conceals any card of his suit.
