This happens if you manage to take all 13 tricks, thus every single card. This will punish other players with 39 points! This is a VERY rare occurrence and is a sight to behold! If punishing your opponents with points would cause one of them to take first place and win, then your score will be reduced by either 26 or 39 points instead. If it is guaranteed that your hand will win all remaining tricks, you will be presented with a TRAM button.

This stands for "The Rest Are Mine". Clicking it will give you all the remaining tricks. This is just a way to make the game move along a bit quicker. This option is only available if it is impossible for anyone else to take any tricks due to the cards you have in your hand such as A, K, Q, J of the same suit.

The game ends when any player reaches points. The player with the lowest score wins! This version of Hearts first appeared somewhere between and It's origins can be traced back even further to a family of games called Reversis, which was popular in Spain around Spades is a 4 player "trick taking" game.

There are two teams of two, with partners sitting across from each other. A random player is chosen to be the dealer. Each player is dealt a hand of 13 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. The player to the dealer's left goes first. Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player places a bid. They are bidding how many "tricks" they think they can take. Players may bid from 0 nil to 13 tricks. Each team adds together the bids of each partner.

This is the number of tricks the team must take as a whole to avoid receiving negative points. A bid of 0 tricks is known as a "nil" bid. This player is saying that they will not take any tricks this hand. If they succeed in not taking any tricks, their team scores a bonus. If they take 1 or more tricks, they fail and their team will receive a penalty.

The start player starts the trick by playing any card from their hand, except Spades. Whichever player played the highest card with the same suit as the lead card, takes the cards. If they do not have a card with that suit, they may play any card except on the first trick, in which you may not play Spades.

The first time a Spade card is played is known as "breaking spad es ". From this point on players can lead Spades. Normally the highest card with the same suit as the lead card wins the trick. However, if a Spade is played on the trick, then the highest Spade card will win the trick instead.

This is known as "trumping" and the Spades are considered a "trump" suit. This option is only available if it is impossible for anyone else to take any tricks due to the cards you have in your hand such as A, K, Q, J of spades.

After each hand, scores are calculated for each team. If a team took at least as many tricks as they bid, they will gain 10 points per trick bid. Every trick taken beyond their bid is worth 1 point. If a team did not take enough tricks to meet their bid, they will lose 10 points per trick bid. This is known as being "set".

For example, if a team's combined bid is '5' and at the end of a hand they only took 4 tricks between the two of them, then they will lose 50 points. Additionaly, for every trick taken beyond what the team bid, that team will earn a "bag".

Over the course of the game these bags accumulate. Every time a team accumulates 10 bags, that team will lose points. If a player bid "nil" and successfully does not take any tricks, then their team will gain points. If a player who bid "nil" fails and takes any tricks, then their team will lose points. Note that if a "nil" bidder fails and takes tricks, those tricks do NOT count towards the team goal.

A "nil" bidder is on their own and so is their teammate in regards to making the bid. The game ends when any team reaches points or falls to points. The team with the highest score wins!

Spades was invented in the the USA in the s and became quite popular in the s. Spades is a member of the Whist family of card games. Euchre is a 4 player "trick taking" game. Cards are ranked from Ace high down to 9 low except for cards in the trump suit which are ranked:.

Each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards from a deck of cards containing only A K Q J 10 9 of each suit. A card is dealt from the deck face up for all to see. Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player has the option to "Accept" the up card as the trump suit or "Pass".

If the Up Card is accepted by any player, that card is given to the dealer who must then discard a different card and then normal play begins. If all 4 players choose to "Pass", then we move to the Consider Suit phase. Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player has the option to choose any suit to become the trump suit or they can "Pass".

If 3 players pass, the dealer is then forced to choose a suit to become the trump suit. This is known as "Sticking the Dealer". You may choose to uncheck this Option, in which case the dealer may pass instead of being forced to make a choice for trump suit. Passing has no penalty; new cards are redealt and the choosing phase begins again. The start player starts the trick by playing any card from their hand. However, if a card in the trump suit is played on the trick, then the highest trump suit card will win the trick instead.

The player that chose the trump suit is part of the "Maker" team. The other team is the "Defending" team. If the "Maker" team takes 3 or 4 tricks, they will receive 1 point.

If the "Maker" team manages to take all 5 tricks, they will receive 2 points. If the "Defending" team manages to take 3 or more tricks, then they will receive 2 points. When considering the up card and suit, the players can also choose to "Go Alone". When choosing this option, your teammate will discard their cards and will not play this hand.

Instead you are all on your own when it comes to taking tricks. If you manage to take 3 or 4 tricks when "Going Alone" your team will receive the standard 1 point. If you take all 5 tricks, your team will receive 4 points! If the "Defending" team manages to stop you by taking at least 3 tricks, they will receive the standard 2 points. Euchre was first known to exist around Euchre was the game responsible for introducing the Joker.

Euchre Tutorial. Twenty-nine is a 4 player "trick taking" game. The Jack card has the highest rank. Next highest is the 9 card, followed by Ace, 10, King, Queen, 8, and 7 lowest. Once the trump suit has been declared, cards in the trump suit outrank all other cards. Each player is dealt a hand of 4 cards from a deck of cards containing only A K Q J 10 9 8 7 of each suit.

Everyone gets 4 more cards after the bidding phase. Bid Starting with the player to the dealer's left, and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player places a bid.

The bid is a guess at how many points they think that their team can take. Players may choose to pass instead of bidding.

If not passing, they must bid at least 15, up to a maximum of If one player makes a bid, the next player must bid higher than that, or pass. Bidding continues either until a player bids 28, or until 3 consecutive players pass. In the latter case, the dealer is forced to bid Choosing Trump The player who bid highest now chooses the "trump suit. When the trump suit is chosen, it remains hidden from everyone.

It is known only to the player who chose it. It is only revealed later in the game. Second Deal After the trump suit is chosen, 4 more cards are dealt to each player, for a total of 8 cards in hand. Play The player to the dealer's left starts the trick by playing any card from their hand.

Play continues in clockwise order until 4 cards are in the middle pile. Each card played must be of the same suit as the lead card. The trick is taken by whomever played the highest card with the same suit as the lead card. The trick-taker is awarded points according to these rules: the Jack is worth 3 points, 9 is worth 2 points, Ace and 10 are worth 1 point each.

Other cards are not counted. For example, if there is 1 Jack in the pile, and 2 Aces, and a 7, then the trick-taker is awarded 5 points. As soon as a player cannot play a card with the same suit as the lead card, then the trump suit must be declared immediately. After that, the player who could not follow the lead card can play any other card in their hand. Even after trump is declared, players must always play a card from the lead suit, unless they cannot because they do not have one.

Each trick is normally won by the person who played the highest card of the lead suit. However, if one or more cards in the trump suit are played in the trick, then the highest trump suit wins the trick instead. After each hand, scores are calculated for each team by adding up the teammate's points. The team which took the last trick gets an extra point, so that the total of both team's points always sums to 29 - hence the name of the game.

The player that chose the trump suit is part of the "Declaring" team. If the "Declaring" team makes at least the number of points that they bid, they will receive 1 game point. Otherwise, they will lose 1 game point The "Defending" team does not score any points. Twenty-nine 29 is among the "Jass" family of card games, in which the Jack and 9 rank the highest. It should not be confused with Twenty-eight 28 , a similar card game with slightly different rules.

It is especially popular in South Asia. Gin Rummy is a two-player "draw and discard" game. The players make choices with the goal of accumulating their cards into "melds. There are two types of melds, "sets" and "runs. Cards in runs have the same suit, with cards ranked in consecutive order.

For example, a "run" of the Ace of Hearts, 2 of Hearts, and 3 of Hearts is a valid meld 3 cards of the same suit in consecutive order. Note that the Ace is always a low card, so that it cannot be placed next to the King to form a meld. Cards in your hand that do not belong to any melds are called "deadwood" cards. By forming melds, players minimize the number of points that they have due to deadwood cards.

Cards are ranked from Ace 1 point to Ten 10 points , with face cards Jack, King, Queen also counting as 10 points. Once a player has 10 deadwood points or less, they may "knock," which ends the hand. The objective is to be the first player to reach points and win with the high score. For the initial hand, a random player is chosen to be the dealer. After the first hand, the dealer is always the "loser" of the previous hand the player who was not awarded points.

Each player is dealt a hand of 10 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. The deck is then placed face down on the table. The player opposite the dealer goes first. One card is dealt from the deck face up for all to see. The dealer's opponent may "Accept" the up card, and take it into their hand, or "Pass. After discarding, the other player's turn begins. If the non-dealer passed, the dealer now considers the up card, either choosing to "Accept" it or "Pass.

Then it is their opponent's turn. If both players pass, then the non-dealer must draw an unknown card from the deck. Then, they must follow by discarding any card from their hand.

It is permitted to discard the card that they just picked, because it was not the face-up card. Play After the initial phase, play continues with each player choosing to pick either the up card, or an unknown card from the deck.

Notice that there is a slight difference from the initial phase, where the up card is considered by both players before it is allowed to take a card from the deck. Players must always discard a card after picking. After the discard, it is their opponent's turn to play. If a player has 10 deadwood cards or less upon discarding, they are given the opportunity to "Knock. Their opponent also displays any melds in their hands at that time.

If they have any deadwood cards that can be added to the knocker's melds, they may do so, which can reduce their deadwood points. This process is called "laying off" the deadwood. For example, if the knocker has a meld of three Tens, and their opponent has the remaining Ten, the opponent may "lay off" their Ten against the knocker's meld.

This reduces the opponent's deadwood points by At the end of the hand, deadwood card points are counted for the knocker and their opponent. If the knocker's points are lower, they are awarded the difference in points. If the knocker has the same or higher deadwood points than their opponent, they have been "undercut. A knocker who has no deadwood is said to have "gone gin," which is especially fortunate. In this case, their opponent is not allowed to lay off deadwood against their melds.

The knocker is awarded their opponent's deadwood points, and they also get a 20 point bonus! When a player reaches points, the game stops. Gin Rummy was reportedly invented in by a Whist teacher named Elwood T.

Baker, and his son, Charles Graham Baker. It is also known as "Sergeant Major" or "". If you enjoy the strategy of "shooting the moon" in the card game Hearts, you may find similarly entertaining. In , you will be trying to take as many tricks as you can. Tips: try working through the Tutorial before playing a game! And try playing a few games with robots, before playing with humans. This will help you become familiar with the mechanics of the game.

Each player is dealt a hand of 16 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. The remaining 4 cards form a "kitty" and are placed to one side. Players are assigned a target number of tricks that they must take. The dealer's target is 8, the player to the left of the dealer has a target of 5, and the player right of the dealer has a target of 3. The dealer picks a "trump" suit: clubs, spades, hearts, or diamonds. Cards with the trump suit outrank cards of all other suits.

Next, the dealer chooses 4 cards to discard, and then takes the cards from the kitty. Play The player who is left of the dealer leads the trick by playing a card first. Turns are taken in clockwise order, each player "following suit" by playing a card of the same suit as the first card, if possible. Once everyone has played a card, the pile of 3 cards are taken by the person who played the highest card with the same suit as the lead card.

If a player does not have a card with the same suit of the lead card, they may play any card. Cards with the trump suit are special - they override the rank of other cards. If a card in the trump suit is played on the trick, then the highest trump suit card will win the trick.

When all cards have been played, the deal moves clockwise, and a new set of cards are dealt to each player. If a player did not take their target number of tricks in the previous round, then they are said to have "undertricked. If there is only one overtricker, this player chooses cards from their hand to exchange with the undertricker or undertrickers, if the two other players took fewer tricks than their target.

The number of cards to give to each undertricker is computed by the undertricker's target minus the number of tricks that they took. For example, if the undertricker's target was 8, but they only took 5, then the overtricker gets to trade 3 cards with them. If there are two overtrickers, then each of the overtrickers exchanges cards with the undertricker.

The player who has the largest target for the current hand is given an advantage; they are the first to trade cards. In this case, the number of cards exchanged is the difference between the number of tricks taken by that overtricker, and their target for the previous hand. For example, if they had a target of 3 tricks, but took 5, then they choose 2 cards to exchange with the undertricker.

After cards are handed from the overtricker to the undertricker, the undertricker is forced to return the highest card or cards in their hand that are of the same suit as those cards that were given to them. For example, if the undertricker is given the 2 of clubs, and they have the Ace of clubs, then they must pass the Ace of clubs back to the overtricker! Discard and Play After the exchange, the dealer calls trump, discards four cards, and takes the four cards from the kitty.

If the dealer undertricked, they will have exchanged one or more high cards with an overtricker. If they find higher cards in the kitty that are of the same suit as those exchanged with an overtricker, they must show the overtricker those cards that are higher in rank than those that were traded.

After showing any such cards, play begins. The first card is played by the person who is left of the dealer, as before. Double deck Pinochle is a 4 player card game. There are two teams of two players, with partners sitting across from each other. Points are scored in two ways: via "melding" and "trick taking".

After cards are dealt, players combine their cards into particular patterns - called "meld" - to earn points. All players display their meld, and points are recorded. Next, each person plays a card into a "trick". The highest ranking card wins the trick for the person who played it. The Ace card has the highest rank, meaning it is the most powerful card. Next highest is the 10, followed by King, Queen, and Jack lowest. Cards in the "trump" suit outrank all other cards.

The only cards in a trick that score points are the Ace, 10, and King - each is worth 1 point. Double Deck Pinochle for beginners. Each player is dealt a hand of 20 cards from a deck of cards containing four A, 10, K, Q, J cards of each suit a total of 80 cards. Starting with the player to the dealer's left, and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player places a bid.

The player who wins the bid gets to choose the trump suit, which can help to win their team meld points and trick points. This makes choosing trump valuable! However, there are costs to winning the bid. First, you can only choose a trump suit if you have a "marriage" King and Queen in that suit.

So make sure that you have a marriage when deciding what to bid. Second, in placing a bid, you assert that your team will win at least the number of points bid.

For example, if you bid 65, then you pledge that your team will win 65 points. If your team fails to do this, then you lose the number of points bid! If not passing, they must bid at least Each player must bid higher than the previous bid made, or pass. Each player may bid more than once, as long as they continue to bid higher than the previous bid.

Bidding continues until 3 consecutive players pass. If no one has placed a bid, the dealer is forced to bid Otherwise, the player with the highest bid wins the bidding war.

Note that if the dealer is forced to bid 50, but has no marriages at all, then their team will lose 50 points automatically. The player who bid highest now chooses the "trump suit.

Choices for trump suit are restricted to suits in which you have a "marriage". If you are choosing trump, but have no marriages at all, your team forfeits and your bid is subtracted from your score! After the trump suit is chosen, players show any "meld" in their hands. A "meld" is a group of cards in a specific pattern. For example, the Jack of Diamonds and Queen of Spades form a "pinochle" meld, which is worth 4 points.

Two pinochle melds in your hand are worth 30 points. During the meld phase, the total meld points for each team are computed. If a team does not have at least 20 meld points , they will not earn any meld points at all! Also, if the bidding team does not have 20 meld, they forfeit the hand, and their bid is subtracted from their score! Regardless, their opponents will earn their meld, provided it is worth at least 20 points.

Meld patterns are given in the following table:. A specific card in your hand may belong to more than one meld of different meld types, but it cannot belong to more than one meld within a meld type.

You must have an extra King and Queen of that suit to make up a Royal Marriage meld. Do not be too concerned about computing melds. Use the "Show Meld" button to show all melds in your hand that do not require a trump suit. The only melds that you will need to find on your own are Runs and Royal Marriages. The player who won the bid starts the trick by playing any card, the lead card, from their hand.

Play continues in clockwise order. When following with a card, you must play a card that outranks the highest ranking card in the trick. This is called "crawling". If you do not have any Diamonds, but do have a card in the trump suit, you must play a trump card. If there are any trump cards in the trick already, you must play a trump card that outranks that card, if possible.

Otherwise you must play some other trump card. If you have no cards that outrank cards in the trick, you may play any card in your hand. After all 4 players have played a card, the trick is taken by whomever played the highest ranking card. Remember that trump cards outrank all other suits.

The trick-taker is awarded 1 point for each Ace, 10, or King in the trick. For example, if there is 1 Jack in the pile, and 2 Aces, and a Queen, then the trick-taker is awarded 2 points. The team which takes the last trick gets 2 bonus points, so that the total of both team's trick points always sums to After each hand, scores are calculated for each team by adding up the teammate's meld points and trick-taking points.

Rule of 20 A team with less than 20 meld does not score any meld points. If the bid-winner's team does not have at least 20 meld points, their bid is subtracted from their score! In this case, their opponent will score meld points, but only if they have 20 meld points or more. A team that does not take at least 20 points during the trick-taking portion of the game cannot take any points at all; even their meld points are not counted.

If the bid-winner's team does not take at least 20 points during the trick-taking portion of the game, their bid is subtracted from their score! If the bid-winner's opponents did not have 20 meld points, they may still score points during the trick-taking part of the game. They are only awarded trick points if they score 20 or more points from their tricks. The first team to reach points wins!.

If both teams reach points on the same hand, then the winner is the high-scoring team. If they are tied, the winner is the bidding team. However, if the "bidder out" option was chosen, and both teams reach on the same hand, then the bidding side wins , even if their score is lower than their opponents.

For example if the bidding side has points and the other team has , then the bidding side still wins.
