Rules of the game. The rules of this game came up with Douglas Hofstadter. The deck with cards is divided into suit, where each suit is represented by 13 cards. Each player receives 13 cards of any suit. After that, the game begins. Each player puts one card in closed form in the center of the table. Then the cards are opened and mediocre cards are discarded, and players who have laid out no mediocre cards take them back. For example, play 4 players and spread the queen-jack-7-2, in this case the mediocre jack and the lady are. If four players play an 8-ace-ace, then only one card is mediocre. 3. If 4 players play jack-three-three, then all the cards are duplicated and there are no mediocre cards. That is, mediocre maps are cards that are in the middle and differ from the extreme cards: the high and low cards. When one or more players are out of cards, the player or players who still have cards but have the fewest remaining cards get 1 point, if there are several players, then each player gets 1 point if all players fold their last card in The same course, then points are not credited. The winner is determined as follows. Sooner or later one or more players get 4 points, when this happens, then the player or players who have the most points, not reaching 4 points, are declared the winner or winners. Thus, in this game, a player with mediocre cards becomes the winner.

Note. When playing with a large number of players, 2 or 3 decks are taken. It is not a matter of principle which cards the player receives, as the card's dignity turns out to be decisive.
