The remaining tiles on the table form the pool. SETS - A group is a set of either three or four tiles of the same value but different suit. For example: 7 of Spades, 7 of Hearts, 7 of Clubs and 7 of Diamonds. - A run is a set of three or more consecutive tiles of the same suit. For example: 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Hearts. Note! Ace (A) is always played as the lowest number, it can not follow the King (number 13). HOW TO PLAY Opening the game Each player must open his game by making sets of a ”group” or a ”run” or both, totalling at least 30 points. If a player can not open his game on his turn, he must take an extra tile from the pool.

  • BLACKJACK It’S Easy to Ace the Game of Blackjack, One of the Most Popular Table Games at Hollywood Casino and Around the World
    BLACKJACK It’s easy to ace the game of Blackjack, one of the most popular table games at Hollywood Casino and around the world. Object of the Game Your goal is to draw cards that total 21, or come closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. How To Play • The dealer and each player start with two cards. The dealer’s first card faces up, the second faces down. Face cards each count as 10, Aces count as 1 or 11, all others count at face value. An Ace with any 10, Jack, Queen, or King is a “Blackjack.” • If you have a Blackjack, the dealer pays you one-and-a-half times your bet — unless the dealer also has a Blackjack, in which case it’s a “push” and neither wins. • If you don’t have Blackjack, you can ask the dealer to “hit” you by using a scratching motion with your fingers on the table. • You may draw as many cards as you like (one at a time), but if you go over 21, you “bust” and lose. If you do not want to “hit,” you may “stand” by making a side-to-side waving motion with you hand. • After all players are satisfied with their hands the dealer will turn his or her down card face up and stand or draw as necessary. The dealer stands on 17 or higher. BLACKJACK Payoff Schedule All winning bets are paid even money (1 to 1), except for Blackjack, which pays you one-and-a-half times your bet or 3 to 2.

  • Tactical and Strategic Game Play in Doppelkopf 1
    TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC GAME PLAY IN DOPPELKOPF DANIEL TEMPLETON 1. Abstract The German card game of Doppelkopf is a complex game that in- volves both individual and team play and requires use of strategic and tactical reasoning, making it a challenging target for a com- puter solver. Building on previous work done with other related games, this paper is a survey of the viability of building a capable and efficient game solver for the game of Doppelkopf. 2. Introduction Throughout human history, games have served an important role, allowing real life prob- lems to be abstracted into a simplified environment where they can be explored and un- derstood. Today, games continue to serve that role and are useful in a variety of fields of research and study, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. By researching ways to enable computers to solve the abstracted, stylized problems represented by games, researchers are creating solutions that can be applied directly to real world problems. 2.1. Doppelkopf. Doppelkopf is a game in the same family as Schafkopf and Skat played mostly in northern areas of Germany. The rules are officially defined by the Deutscher Doppelkopf Verband [1], but optional rules and local variants abound. The game is played with a pinochle deck, which includes two each of the nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces of all four suits, for a total of 48 cards. As in many games, like Skat, Schafkopf, Spades, Bridge, etc., the general goal is to win points by taking tricks, with each trick going to the highest card, trump or non-trump, played.

  • Learning the Tarot (19 Lesson C
    Welcome to Learning the Tarot - my course on how to read the tarot cards. The tarot is a deck of 78 picture cards that has been used for centuries to reveal hidden truths. In the past few years, interest in the tarot has grown tremendously. More and more people are seeking ways to blend inner and outer realities so they can live their lives more creatively. They have discovered in the tarot a powerful tool for personal growth and insight. How Does This Course Work? My main purpose in this course is to show you how to use the cards for yourself. The tarot can help you understand yourself better and teach you how to tap your inner resources more confidently. You do not have to have "psychic powers" to use the tarot successfully. All you need is the willingness to honor and develop your natural intuition. Learning the Tarot is a self-paced series of 19 lessons that begin with the basics and then move gradually into more detailed aspects of the tarot. These lessons are geared toward beginners, but experienced tarot users will find some useful ideas and techniques as well. For each lesson there are some exercises that reinforce the ideas presented. The Cards section contains information about each of the tarot cards. You can refer to this section as you go through the lessons and later as you continue your practice. These are the main features of the course, but there are many other pages to explore here as well. What is the History of this Course? I began writing this course in 1989.

  • ATTITUDE SIGNALS on DEFENSE by Maritha Pottenger
    ATTITUDE SIGNALS ON DEFENSE By Maritha Pottenger Most people nowadays signal attitude when their partner is leading a suit. This is true both on opening lead and in the middle of the hand. With standard attitude, a high card means “I like this suit. Please lead it again.” A low card means: “I don’t want you to continue this suit. Please try something else.” When signaling with a spot card, play the highest spot card you can afford. If you have two equals, play the higher of two equals (e.g., with Q982, signal encouragement with 9), When partner leads an honor, a high card is used ONLY to signal an “equal honor.” Thus, if partner leads the Ace (promising the King), you signal high with the queen and low with anything else. Do NOT signal high, even with the queen, if you desperately want a shift to another suit. Do NOT signal high, even with the queen, if partner continuing the suit would set up a trick in dummy (e.g., partner has AK3; dummy has J1092 and you have Q843. Play the 3.) If you drop the queen under your partner’s Ace (partner has promised King by leading Ace), you absolutely guarantee the Jack. Many times, partner will want you to take the second trick in that suit so you can lead through Declarer’s honors in another suit. With a doubleton queen (and no jack), just play low. When you cannot stand any shift, signal high: false encouragement. You also signal high (then low) when you have a doubleton and trump in a suit contract.
