Rules
How the game works
Start by exchanging cards. Select three cards that you do not need from your hand and give them to another player. Then, receive three cards from another player. (There are some rounds where no cards are exchanged.)
Players play cards in order, starting with the player who has the 2 of clubs. After the first player plays a card, the other players must play cards of the same suit. However, if a player has no cards in that suit, the player may play any card.
After all players have played one card, the player who played the strongest card wins all of the cards that were played in that round. Then, the player who won the round plays the next starting card and the play continues in the same way, with each player playing one card.
The hand is complete when all of the cards have been played. Count up the point value of the cards that each player has won. The game finishes when a player's score goes below a certain value. At that time, the player with the score closest to 0 is the winner.
Card strengths
Cards of the same suit as the starting card are stronger than cards of other suits.
The strengths of cards in the same suit are in order as follows.
A K Q J 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
Card point values
Heart cards | -1 |
The Queen of spades | -13 |
Shooting the moon
If a player gets all of the negative point cards (all of the heart cards and the Queen of spades), their score does not go down, and all other players are given -26 points.
How to operate
To exchange cards, select the three cards you want to exchange with the other player and press the "Exchange" button.
