Rules of the game. Why this game is called Children's Poker I was not able to find out, but why is called Painting Poker or Student Poker so it's understandable. This poker is played according to the following rules. Painted Poker is a game for bribes. The first deliverer is determined by a lot, in the next games the players take the cards in turn. In the first hand, each player is dealt one card each, the second hand has two cards, and so on, up to the maximum number of cards that can be distributed equally (for 3 players, 12 cards, 4 players per game 9 cards, for 5 players - 7 cards and one card remains). For the maximum number of cards, there are as many hands as the number of players. Then the number of cards for each player for each next hand is reduced by 1, until each player is dealt only one card. This concludes the main part of the game. Next, there are as many hands as possible of the maximum number of cards, what is the number of players. These distributions are played by each player "in the dark". Then the cards are dealt one more time in the maximum amount and the so-called "gold con" is played. Below is a table for recording the game for five players.

Each next hand is dealt by the next clockwise player. After the cards are dealt out, each player makes an application, how many bribes he is going to take in this hand or "pass", if he intends not to take a single bribe. The first player to make a bid is the one following the dealer, then - clockwise. Each player can make a request "in the dark," that is, to make an application without looking, preliminarily in their cards. At the request "vtemnuyu" the points received in this distribution, are considered doubly. You can not pass in the dark. The claimed number of bribes is recorded for each player in his column, see Table. The application "in the dark" is marked with a small circle. After all bids have been made, a rally begins. The first player to enter is the next player after the dealer. Each of the other players must put the card "in suit" or, if he does not have such a suit, then the trump card (tambourine) or, if there is no trump card, then any card. The one taking the higher card takes the bribe. The next call is made by the one who took the last bribe. A special seven-card peak is called "Poker" and has the following properties:
In the case where you want to put "in the suit" spades, and there is no other peak except poker, then poker is not necessary.
At any time, poker can be played as the highest card (older than an ace of diamonds). If the player silently puts poker, then it is considered that he plays it in this way.
In your call you can go to poker, saying: "by trump", or another similar phrase. In this case, each of the remaining players must put their most senior trump card. If one of the players has no trump card, then he can put any card, and not necessarily the oldest of the remaining ones. This bribe is taken by the player who came from poker.
Poker can be played as a simple seven-seasons peak, in cases where it is not forbidden by the rules (for example, if you want to put "in the suit" clubs, and there are clubs, you can not put poker, the player should say "simple", or another phrase with the same Meaning.
The points received for distribution are calculated as follows. For the executed pass - 5 points. For the completed application - the number of bribes claimed, multiplied by 10. With shortage - 10 points for each unfinished bribe. At search - one point for each taken bribe. When applying for a "dark" glasses are taken into account doubly. The points obtained are summed up with the previous number of points, and this current result is recorded in a broad player column, see the table. In this example, Roma bribed. In the "golden con" players do not make applications, but simply play, trying to take as many bribes as possible. For each bribe, the player receives 20 points.
Note. There is a variant of the game with a restrictive rule: the total number of declared bribes in this hand should not be equal to the number of bribes in this hand.
Also there is a variant of poker "Poker with circular trumps". Instead of a permanent trump card (tambourine), each turn determines which suit will be trump in this call. Namely, the suits are arranged in a circle in a natural order: peaks, clubs, diamonds, hearts, peaks and trumps in this approach will be the suit following the suit of the card with which the call was made. So, for example, if you come from worms, then trumps in this call will be peaks. This rule entails another change. Namely, when entering poker, the player instead of the phrase "by the senior trump card" should indicate the suit, the high cards which should be put. This version of the game is more unpredictable, but more "just": it does not happen that "the card does not go." Almost in any scenario, you can take one or two bribes. On the other hand, too many bribes, too, can not be dialed, since any call - not with a trump card!
