Rules of the game. One of the oldest card games in Iceland, where the name "Alkort" means ring. This game was popular in the 18th century. Play four of steam for a couple. Players sit at the table so that the partners sitting opposite each other. From the deck of 52 cards are removed e-fives and tens left in the deck of 44 cards, which both play. The hierarchy of cards is only for those cards, as mentioned above, all other cards are considered garbage and useless in the game, their seniority is the same as in a conventional deck, but only among themselves, all the cards that are listed above, older than them. Sevens have a special status, if put seven, then all the cards laid out after it do not matter, that is considered to be phony, even if the highest cards in the game, and the bribe takes the player who posted seven. Sevens can not go until that player will not be taken bribe. Seven laid out not the first move is considered to be waste, and playing like garbage.
The first deliverer of the game is determined by lot, and in the next game losing player of the losing team. The deck is thoroughly shuffled and each player is dealt 9 cards, the remaining cards are placed face down in a pile in the middle of the table. The first move belongs to the player who has the highest card for that players show the rest of your highest card. The player can go with any of your card, all other players in a clockwise direction can put your any card, cards melded on the table (a bribe) takes the player who put the highest card, if the highest cards will be two, it takes the player who put this highest card first. After drawing cards the players to get on the same card from the remaining deck, and right next player gets the first move, who took a bribe. Thus, all the cards are played. A couple of players that will take greater amount of bribes is the winner.
