As well as melding complete combinations, players are allowed to meld cards which extend combinations which are already on the table. This is called laying off. The fourth card of the same rank can be added to a group of three, or extra consecutive cards of the same suit can be added to a sequence at either end. For example, if 5 6 7 is already on the board, any player on their turn can add the 4 or 8 or both.
Sometimes, when laying off a card, there is more than one meld it could be attached to. In this case the player laying off must choose which meld to extend. For example, if there is a sequence 7 8 9 and a group 10 10 10 on the board, and you have a 10 in your hand, you can choose whether to add your 10 to the sequence or the group, but once it is played, it cannot be moved. Example: A has put down 5- 6- 7 , B has put down 9- 9- 9.
B can lay off the 8 on A 's sequence. C can now put down the 9 and must announce whether it is being added to the hearts run or to C 's set of nines. If C added the 9 to the heart run, D can now extend the run further by laying down the If C had announced the 9 as belonging to the set of nines then of course it would not be legal to lay down the 10 as an extension of the run, which is still only Jokers are wild, and can stand for any card in a meld, even a duplicate of a card that has already been melded by the same or another player.
A player melding a joker must make it clear which rank it represents, and this cannot subsequently be changed. For example, you might meld 6 7 joker as a sequence, and by putting the cards down in this arrangement you are specifying that the joker represents the 8.
Later someone may lay off the 5 or 9 on this sequence, but they are not allowed to change the joker to a 5 so as to lay off a 4. If you were to meld 9 and two jokers you would have to state whether it was meant to be a group of nines or a sequence. If it was a sequence, you would have to choose whether the sequence was , or J. On the other hand, if it was a group, you would not need to specify the suits represented by the jokers.
Any player could subsequently lay off a different nine, completing a group of four nines. Note that a joker does have to represent some specific card. It is therefore not possible to meld a group of for example four kings and a joker, because there is no fifth king that the joker could represent. Even if you are playing with two packs, it is a rule that the cards of a group must all be of different suits, so there is no fifth king that can legally be included in the meld.
When there are more than two players dealer deals the cards one at a time, clockwise, starting with the person to dealer's left, until everyone has seven cards.
In a two-player game the dealer deals thirteen cards to each player. The remaining cards form the stock pile ; they are placed face down in a position accessible to every player. The top card of the stock is flipped over and placed face up alongside it. This is the first card of the discard pile. The players look at their cards, and may organize the cards in their hand according to suit or number. The person on the dealer's left begins.
The turn to play passes clockwise. A turn consists of three parts:. It is very important to understand how to use the discard pile for your advantage. Suppose that the discard pile is as follows:. You have these cards in your hand: 2 4 5 8 J K K. You want to take the 4 and 4 from the discard pile to go with your 4 to make a group. To get these cards, you must take all the cards from the 4 onwards, leaving only the 6 in the discard pile.
You discard something you don't need such as the 2 and the discard pile is then:. Happy Gaming. It is a variation of Euchre with these following changes: Players are dealt 10 cards as opposed to 5, trump is not turned up, rather it is chosen by the player willing to contract for the greatest number of tricks, the pack size is adjusted to allow all cards to be dealt to players except three to the kitty, which can be used by the highest bidder.
Australian card decks depict a Kookaburra as opposed to a Jester In the trump suit the highest card is the joker, then the jack of the trump suit the right bower or rb , then the other jack that is the same color the left bower or lb. The Deal The deal, bidding, and play moves clockwise. The Bidding Bidding begins with the player to the left of the dealer and moves clockwise. The potential bids are: The number of tricks minimum of six and the trumping suit, this bid indicates the total number of tricks them and their partner will take and the trumping suit for that hand.
No Trumps means the Joker will be the only trump card. Misere Nullo, Nello, Nula , it is a contract to lose all tricks.
Play alone, a partner drops out. The bid means the player is not attempting to win any tricks. Blind Misere is the same bid as Misere but occurs before a player looks at their cards. Bids can be made Sans Kitty, meaning they players will fulfill the contract of their bid without the kitty. GAMEPLAY The contractor starts by picking up the three cards in the kitty, without showing them to other players, and discarding three cards in their hand in their place. Play of Joker The joker is the highest trump if there is a trump suit.
If the bid is No Trumps, Misere, Open Misere, or Blind Misere the joker can be used either: The contractor who holds the joker nominates the suit it belongs to. This must be done before gameplay. Joker is then high card of that suit, OR In the even the contractor does not hold the joker, or holds it and does not nominate a suit for it, it does not belong to a suit. It acts as the highest card as the pack and beats the trick it is played in.
However, there are restrictions on when it may be played: If the trick was led by another player you can only play the joker if you have no cards in that suit. If the contract is any Misere you must play the joker if you have no cards of the leading suit. However, in No Trump this is not necessary, you may discard any card of any suit and play the joker in a later trick. Lead with a joker and nominate the suit. The suit must have not been previously led in a trick.
If all four suits have been led the joker can only be played in the last trick. Misere may be bid without a 7 bid. The Joker may only be led in the last trick. You may not raise your bid after everyone else has passed.
If you are at a score of or you can not get points for winning a trick against a contractor. Forgot your Password? Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Be the first to score and collect the respect you deserve, and the points you desire. Score points by laying down and laying off cards as in regular Rummy, in matched number sets of 3 or 4, and in sequences of 3 or more cards of the same suit. For example, three or four 7s can be laid or a sequence of 3, 4, 5 of diamonds can be laid. When any player gets rid of all of their cards, the play immediately ends. From this figure is subtracted the point value of all cards remaining in their hand.
If two or more players reach on the same hand, the one with the highest score is the winner. Deal seven cards to each player except in the two player game, in which each player receives 13 cards. Take the pot if you won the bid. If you were the person who said the highest bid, you take the 3 cards in the middle.
After looking through your hand, discard the 3 least useful cards face down on the table. The suit that the winner bid is now the trump suit. Strategically, it's best to discard any cards of a very low value. Part 3. Place down a card with the bid winner going first. If you won the pot, you are the first player to play a card.
While you can play any card you'd like, it's best to play cards of a higher value so you have a better chance of winning the trick. Go clockwise with each player playing 1 card. After the winner plays the first card, the person to their left goes next, setting down a card of that same suit.
Continue going clockwise until all 4 players have played a card. Play the suit that was led if you have cards of that suit. Even if you have a trump card that would possibly win you the trick, you have to play the same suit if possible. For example, if the lead suit is Hearts, you would have to play any Hearts cards in your hand before other suits.
If you have multiple cards of the lead suit, play a card with a higher value of the cards already played, if possible. If you don't have a trump card or a card that follows suit, the card you play will be treated as a discard option because a lead or trump card will always win out over a card of another suit. If you don't have a trump card or card of the lead suit, play a card with a low value to get rid of it. Decide who won the trick by seeing who played the highest card. After each player has placed their card down, look to see who won.
If 1 person played a trump card, they won, and if multiple people played trump cards, the highest trump card wins. If no trump cards were played, the highest card of the lead suit wins.
Suits that are not the trump suit have a normal range where Ace is the highest and a 4 or 5 is the lowest, depending on the color of the suit. Continue playing your cards with the winner leading the next trick. The person who won the previous trick is the person who sets down the lead card of the next trick.
Continue going clockwise with each player setting down a card of the same suit if possible. After everyone has laid down 1 card again, see who won this next trick. Part 4. Use a score card to calculate the points in each hand. The score card tells you how many points are awarded for each different suit and their coinciding bid number.
Add or subtract points depending on your bid. If you won the bid and won the number of tricks you bid, then you would use the score card to add that specific number to your score. Keep a piece of paper and pencil next to you to keep track of the scoring, if necessary. Win the game by being the first team to earn points. The first team to earn points wins! For each new hand, rotate the dealer to the left.
How many tricks do you think you'll win?
