Before beginning the game players draw a table. Below is a table for three players. In the table are entered orders and the results of draws.

Distribution maps and order. The first deliverer of the game is determined by lot, in the following games players are dealt cards by turns clockwise. The deck is thoroughly shuffled and each player depending on the game is dealt a certain number of cards. In the first two cards game, the second game of three and so on until the eighth game, the eighth to thirteenth game cards are descending, the eighth 7 cards in the seventh and 6 cards etc. After the cards are dealt to players, with the top card of the deck is removed and placed in clear text in the middle of the table is a trump card, if in place of the card will be the joker, the game runs without trumps. Across the deck this card is placed in a closed form, as well as in the game of Fool . Then, each player looks at his cards and makes an order for the game. The right of the first order belongs to the player left of the deliverer, the player announces the number of tricks that can take during a rally. Then each player clockwise announces his order, last order of the deliverer. Deliverer, making its application should observe the following rule: the sum of all previous applications of players should not be equal to the number of cards in his hand a deliverer. After all the orders have been made drawing begins.

Raffle. The first move in the drawing belongs deliverer, he can go with any of your card. Each next player in a clockwise direction to put the card of the same suit as the card deliverer, if the card is not a suit, you can put your any card. Laid cards taken by a player whose card is the eldest. After that, players take one card from the remaining deck. Next the first move in the draw next trick belongs to the player who took the previous trick. A feature of the draw is the Joker. The player who goes Joker must declare his "senior" or "junior". Accordingly, "a senior Joker" has all the cards, and "younger Joker" is the lowest card. If a bribe are 2 Jokers, they are opposing cards. For example, the player has made the first move in a bribe Joker, then the second card becomes lined suit of the setting, no matter how important the Joker. After drawing cards starts scoring.

Scoring. 3 possible outcomes of the game: the shortage of brute force, of the order. When shortfall for each missing bribe deducted 10 points in the case of sorting for each typed bribe has only 1 point in the case of the order player receives 10 points for each trick. For the statement and made "pass" are awarded 5 points.

Penalties. Over the course did not follow suit, if any player is penalized by 50 points, and the distribution is replayed. As a counterbalance to the straight Joker game uses the following rule: for the course of the Joker in the empty table the player is penalized by 10 points. The penalty does not apply if the Joker was the last card in his hand.

After scoring and recording the results in table games next hand begins. Game goes up until the table is completely filled. Party Winner has the highest number of points in the bottom line. In this example, Vadim, who scored 123 points. Sometimes it may happen that two players receive an equal highest number of points, in which case they are winners. If at the end of the party all players an equal number of points, then the game ends in a draw.

Note. In addition to individual parties, you can play games that are made up of three parties. The match can end early if you win 2 games one of its members. If the required number of games played does not reveal the winner, then it counts the occupied second place. If this figure is the same, the game is still one additional party. If the party is more 2 winner, is played out between the party leaders, and so on until, until there is one winner. The advantage of the match is that in every game of the players who find themselves in the role of the hopelessly backward, until the end of the match can still win or finish second.

In addition to the above-described variants of the game at the Joker, the Joker, there are options to Misery, with a modified table games and a modified deck.
