How to Play

Objective

The objective is to get rid of your cards first by playing "tricks"

Setup

Each player is dealt 13 cards. Even if there are only 2 or 3 players, 13 cards are dealt and the remaining cards are discarded.

Other players cannot see your cards or the tricks you are about to play. When clicking on Play Hand, you are laying down your trick on the table.

Cards dealt to you are sorted by lowest to highest rank.

Card Ranks

The suits rank are as follows (from lowest to highest): ♠️, ♣️, ♦️, ♥️

The lowest card is a 3♠️, and the highest card value is the 2♥️

Instructions

Rounds

As soon as the game starts, the player with the lowest card starts.

The player may begin the round by playing their trick. Tricks can be any one of the following types: singles, pairs, triples, quads, sequences, double sequences.

The player's turn ends as soon as they play their trick.

The next player can then choose to Play Hand (to play a stronger trick) or Pass Hand (if they cannot beat the previously played hand)

The round continues until a player's trick cannot be beaten. Passed players cannot play until new round begins.

When a new round starts, the player whos trick was not beaten may play any trick of their choosing.
