The card game of trump
There is also a game called trump. The game is played with Penalty Out Cards. In this trick game, the goal is to predict after receiving the cards the exact number of stitches that you want to have made at the end of the round. Upon reaching the number of stitches there are pluses, minuses otherwise.
A variant of this is called with a friend or even Baptist Skat the trump card. Here is a map determined (eg, Green 19), with the wanted the friend and is secured in the optimal case the stitch. This games can be up to 840 points (maximum score ) are possible. Should be played with 4 or 5 players, but it also works with 7 or 8 players, with 2 playing cards and two friends (both the same card ). However commandments are the scores that you want to achieve, at least in steps of 5 ( games below 450 can reach the other party as easily, so these games are boring). The highest bidder is allowed to play and must reach his score, but determines the trump suit and receives the " floor" ( 4, 5 or 7 cards depending on the number of players ), he can replace it with his cards (freely selectable). The color must be played to be operated as long as it is present in the Player. Does anyone have the color no longer, he may trump or discard false color. Serves someone fails or comes up trumps from, although it has the color still, that party loses the game. The stitch either wins the highest trump card or the highest card of the suit led up. For simplicity, counting the difference in the opponents end of the game. There is no penalty, but you win the necessary points. Either the tenderer ( and his friend ) has reached the necessary points or get the opponent more than the difference to 840 points. There is also the option to play alone against the other, then pick your own card for a friend. Finds the friend out one by the player strikes up (ie, after winning a stitch) and according to " friend " calls. The friend card must then be placed, the other players discard. "Contra " ( may be ordered only by an opponent ), the points are doubled by " Re" ( may be ordered only by the game ends or his friend / his friends ) quadrupled. This can therefore meet maximum 3,360 points. The game is thus obviously much more exciting. The number of rounds is not limited and so you can certainly play for hours.
