Used deck: 7 throught ace (32 cards or in other words- belote's deck).
Number of players: 2 to 4 using a single deck or more players using more decks. 3 decks are enough for 12 players.
Card values: black jack values, but ace is worth alvays 11.
Deal: 3 cards to each player. 4 cards are then returned on the table.
If the returned cards don't have the same suit, the game can start. Otherwise, they are discarded and the next 4 cards are returned.
Playing the game:
The game is turn-based. Each player has a single turn, then the game is over.
Each player, starting at the dealer's left and moving so that the dealer goes last, has 3 choices:
- If the returned pile has a 3-card combination (see further), the player can take the combination and reveal his hand in the returned pile. The player's hand will stil contain 3 cards (taken cards) and the returned pile will contain 4 cards (3 of tchem are the player's initial hand and the untaken card).
- The player can look at his hand, discard a card to the returned pile and take a card from it.
- A player can look at his hand and be satiswiet. After the dealer's turn, the player owning the strongest combination wins the game.
Combinations from weakest to strongest (10 here means a 10, a jack, a queen or a king):
ace and 10 of the same suit.
Two aces.
3 cards of the same suit. Combination is worth the sum of cards composing it.
Three of a kind.
3 of a kind of the same suit (applicable only when using 3 decks).
Fire (it could fit in to the 3 cards of the same suit category, but it also beats all 3 of a kind combinations).
Fire is composed of an ace and two 10s of the same suit.
Optionally, when using 2 or 3 decks the following very strong combinations can be included:
Royal fire (2 aces and a 10).
Fire of a kind (3 aces of the same suit).
If a player has no combination in his hand, that player busts. If all players bust, the highest card, followed by the second and last cart in case of equality, wins.
That's all. Just ask if you have questions. I think that this game can be added.
