1. Space-Rage,
Hello
My Friend from Ukrain has gave me a cool Game and I hope that it'll be available in The QuentinC's Playroom
It's called Bura, and here are The rules
Most often Bura is played by two Players using a 36-Card pack, but up to Six players can take part. The ranking from high to low and The point values of The Cards in each suit are:
Card:
Ace
Ten
King
Queen
Jack
Nine
Eight
Seven
Six
Value:
11
10
4
3
2
0
0
0
0
The Main aim is to be The first player to take at least 31 points in tricks.
Deal
Everyone puts an equal Stake into a Pot, and The Cards are dealt out singly until each player has Three. The next Card is turned face up to show The Trump suit, and The rest of The stock is placed crosswise face down on top of it.
Play
When there are Two players, The non-dealer leads to The first trick. If more than Two players play, play is clockwise and it is usual for The player to The left of The dealer to lead to The first trick. A player may lead a single Card, or any Two or Three Cards of The same suit together. The other players in turn must play The same number of Cards as were led. They can play any Cards They wish - there is No requirement to follow suit. A Card can be beaten by a higher Card of The same suit, and any non-Trump Card can be beaten by any Trump.
To beat a combination of Two or Three cards that were played together, You need to beat each of The Cards with a better Card.
Example: Diamonds are Trumps; Nicole leads The Queen and 7 of Spades; Nikolaj plays the 9 of Diamonds and the jack of spades, which beats Nikole's lead. Nikolet holds The King of Diamonds and 8 and The 9 of Spades. In order to beat Nikolaj's play, Nekola would need to play both of His trumps. Alternatively Nekola could throw The 8 of Diamonds and 9 of Spades, keeping The Trump king for later, and leave Nikolet to win The trick.
Completed tricks are stored face down in front of The player who won Them. After each trick The players draw cards from The stock, One at a Time in clockwise rotation, starting with The winner of The trick, until Everyone has Three Cards again. Then The winner of The trick leads to The next. If there aren't enough Cards left in The stock to go around, The remaining stock Cards aren't used, and The players continue playing from The Cards in their Hands without drawing.
Ending the play
The play continues until someone stops the Game, claiming to have 31 or more points in Their tricks. Players aren't allowed to look back at The tricks They have won to count The points taken - They must remember What They have. After a claim, The claiming player's tricks are exposed and The Card points are counted. If The claim is true The winner takes The Pot and The players contribute to a New Pot for The next hand. A player Who claims wrongly, having taken 30 points or fewer, has to double The Pot. Either way, The next Hand is dealt by The player Who claimed. If No One has claimed by The Time that All The Cards have been played, then there is No winner. The Cards are thrown in, everyone adds another Stake to The Pot, and The same dealer deals again.
Special Combinations
There are a few twists to The basic Game. The first is that certain combinations allow You to take The lead even if You didn't win The previous trick. In descending order of priority, these are:
• Bura - any Three Trumps.
• Three Aces.
• Molodka (Young Lady) - Three Cards of The same suit (not Trumps).
If Two or more players announce The same type of combination at The start of The same trick, The lead belongs to whichever of The players would normally have played earliest to The trick. A Bura wins The Pot and ends The play. If Two or more players have Bura, The One Whose turn to play to The next trick was earliest leads His/Her Bura and The holders of The other Buras play theirs in turn; whoever wins this trick wins The Pot.
Note on Cheating
If Three or more people play Bura, there is scope for some of The players to collude by throwing each other high Cards. You should therefore be wary of playing Bura against more than One Opponent, unless You are playing with People whom You trust completely, or for Stakes so Small that You don't care about losing.
