Rules of the game. An ancient English game that arose in 1522. The game is designed for five players. The sender is determined by a lot or at will. The deck is carefully shuffled, removed and each player is dealt 8 cards, the remaining 12 cards are placed in an open manner next to each other arbitrarily in the center of the table. Next, each player looks at his cards and if there is one pair of cards or 4 cards of the same value, then the player puts these cards aside next to him. After each player finishes doing this, the draw of cards begins on the table. The first move belongs to the player to the left of the handler. The goal of each player is to compose pairs, triples or four cards of the same value. In one move, you can make up several pairs, as many as the player can make. For example, on the table is the king, the player looks at his cards and sees the king, then the player takes his king and king on the table and puts it aside next to him and if he has another card making up a pair of cards with a card on the table, then he The card also postpones. Then the turn moves to the next player clockwise. And, if one of the players makes a couple of cards from his card and card from the table, then any other player who has a pair of the same cards can add his own pair of cards to this pair at the same time.
So, the game goes on until some player has cards in hand in order to make a pair or three cards with cards that lie in the center of the table. In this case, this player puts his cards in clear view on the center of the table and the game stops, and this player becomes a loser, and all other players laugh at him, hence the name of this game.
The game can be fought for money, for this before the game each player puts a certain amount of money on the line. Calculation of the win is as follows. Each non-losing player watches how many pairs of cards he has managed to take, if the pair is less than 8, then the player on the pile puts 1/5 of the stake amount for each pair of cards taken, if the player took 8 pairs or more, the player takes for each taken A couple of 1/5 of the amount put at stake. The remaining money is put on the line for the next game, and if the money suddenly was not enough for any player, the loser delivers this amount to the player who did not have enough money.
The game can be adapted for playing with threesome, four and six. For this, when playing a threesome, each is dealt 13 cards, and 13 are put on the center of the table. When you play a four of each hands on 10 cards, and 12 are placed on the center of the table. When you play six times, each person is dealt 7 cards, and 10 are placed in the center of the table. If the game is played for money, then the calculation of the win is not on 8 pairs, as with five players, but on the number of pairs, how many cards were dealt at the beginning of the game. For example, if you surrendered 13 cards, then the calculation goes to 13 pairs.
