Rules of the game. Japanese card game. Translated from Japanese, Dai Fugo literally means "very rich man", previously the game was called Dai Hinmin, which means "very poor man." The game in Japan was introduced obviously in the 1970s from China. The game was widely spread in all parts of Japan in the 1980s and in the 1990s and during that time there were many changes and additions. The game is played from three to six players inclusive. Play a deck of 52 cards, to which is added one Joker. The first deliverer in the game is determined by lot, in the subsequent games players give cards in turn clockwise. The cards are dealt one at a time in turn to each player, until the deck is finished. The number of cards for players will be different. The first move players play with each other by a lot. You can play it with either a coin or a game of "stone, scissors, paper." After determining the first player, the first player makes the first move. The player can play with any of his cards or several cards that meet one of the following conditions:

One any card - it can be any card;
Pair - two cards of the same value;
Three - three cards of the same value;
Quads - 4 cards of the same value;
Sequence - 3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit, for example, ♠ 4, ♠ 5, ♠ 6;
Joker - can be used as a substitute for any card in pair, triple, square or sequence. Combinations of 8-8 and 8-joker are considered equal, a similar equality in other similar combinations.

After the first player makes a move, each next player clockwise can skip a move or put, if there is one card on the table, then a card of the same value, if there are several cards, then it can put cards of the same combination, provided that they Are equal or are considered older. For example, the player put 7-7, the other player has the right to put a 7-joker, or put 9-9, 10-10, etc. Combinations of lower values ​​are unacceptable. Each player clockwise makes one move at a time and the player who puts the highest card or combination or puts his card or combination with equal cards, postpones the laid out cards and starts a new draw of cards on his own. Thus, players play as long as any of the players do not have cards, this player becomes the winner. The winner is called a "very rich man," and a "very poor person" is recognized as the player who has the most cards left on hand. In the next game, after the cards are dealt a "very rich man" gives out any 2 of his unnecessary cards to a "very poor man", and he gives away two of his card cards in return. After that, the "very poor man" gives his highest card to a "very rich man", who in turn gives his one card. After exchanging cards, players start the game.

Varieties of the game

The game is eight. To play eight players usually use two decks. You can use one deck, but then the game will not be long and uninteresting.

Revolution (Kakumei). Many players, when playing this game, supplement it with one essential rule that changes the whole outcome of the game. For example, if one player folds a penalty - a combination of 7-7-7-7 or 5-5-5-Joker, then this combination changes the seniority of the cards. If this precedence was preceded by 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-V-D-K-T-2, then, after spreading the square, it becomes vice versa 2-T-K-D-B-10 -9-8-7-6-5-4-3. It happens that the revolution in the cards is arranged not only with the penalty, but with other combinations, for example, sequences.

Jokers. One more joker is added to the deck and two jokers become the oldest pair.

There are no twos in the sequence. Do not use deuces in sequences.

Miyako-Ochi. In this version of the game, if the "very rich man" in the next game does not win the game, then it automatically becomes "very poor man" in this game.

Shibari. A new rule in the game, which states that if one player places a pair of cards, the other player can put a pair of cards in the event that his pair has one card of the same color as the previous pair. For example, one player has laid out ♠ 3- ♦ 3, then the other can put ♠ 6- ♣ 6.

Prohibition of the high card. Players are not allowed to go with a high card with a double or a set of cards of twos as the last card or the last cards.

The rule of three spades. The variant of the game, when the Joker is played as a single card, it can be covered with ♠ 3, and ♠ 3 can then in turn cover any higher card. But if ♠ 3 is played before the joker, then the joker can cover it.

The rule of the eights (Hachi-giri). Option of the game, where the laid out eights are removed immediately in the release and the player who played the eight or eight starts playing again with any card or an allowed combination of cards.

Knave. The folded jack changes the seniority of the cards to the opposite, as in the game with the revolution.

Replacement for dozens. If one of the players has put a ten or a dozen, then during the rebound, he has the right to replace his ten with any card and send it along with the other cards to hang out.

Exchange of seats. Sometimes after the game ends, "a very rich man" changes his place at the table with a "very poor man."
