  • Troggen Abaroque Game of Tarot from Solothurn
    1 TROGGEN A BAROQUE GAME OF TAROT FROM SOLOTHURN Troggen is a tarot game played with an Italian suited tarot deck of 78 cards, commonly known as «Tarot de Marseille». If no such deck is available, any Tarot deck of 78 cards may be used. The card game tarot and its characteristic cards originated around 1430 in northern Italy. The oldest surviving cards were made in Milan. They were hand-painted in 1441 on the occasion of Francesco Sforza's marriage to Bianca Maria Visconti. In the early 16th century, French and Swiss mercenaries got to know the game in northern Italy and brought it back to their home countries. The Solothurn region was a centre of playing card production in Switzerland in the 18th century. The oldest surviving tarot cards in Switzerland were designed in the city of Solothurn in 1718. We know from historical sources that Troggen, as Tarock was called in Solothurn at that time, was very popular. In the course of the 19th century, other card games with French suits such as Whist, Bridge and finally the originally Dutch Jass replaced Troggen in Solothurn. In Switzerland, tarot has survived as a card game in Visperterminen and in the Surselva. Since the rules of Troggen originally applied in Solothurn are not documented, the Historical Museum Blumenstein in Solothurn redefined the rules of the game in 2015. In doing so, we relied on the very original rules of Troggu still played in Visperterminen and supplemented them with some elements of the modern French tarot. Our Troggen rules are designed to make it as easy as possible for new players to get into the game, while maximising the fun.

  • Rules of Card Games: 1000
    1000 Introduction Players and Cards Deal Exchanging Cards Bidding Play Scoring The Barrel - Zero Scores - Rospisat' Four player game Variations Dealing and Redealing - Bidding - Exchanging Cards - Rospisat' - Announcing combinations - The Barrel - Scoring Polish Tysiąc Two player game Auction 1000 - Draw 1000 German 1001 (Tausendeins) Russeln Introduction This excellent three-player game is well known in several Eastern European countries, including Russia, Belorus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Poland and Lithuania. In Russian speaking areas it is known as Tysiacha (Тысяча) and in Poland it is Tysiąc - both words mean 1000, the target score for the game. There are many slight variations in the rules of play between and within countries. A version played in Russia, Belorus and Ukraine will be described first. Players and Cards There are three active players, but as with many three-player games it is possible for four people to take part, with one player sitting out of each hand. A 24-card pack is used. 1000 is a point-trick game: the aim is to win tricks containing valuable cards. There are just six cards in each of the suits Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs and Spades and their ranking from high to low and their point values are as follows: Ace 11 points Ten 10 points King 4 points Queen 3 points Jack 2 points Nine 0 points There are therefore 120 card points in the pack altogether, and a player who holds both the king and the queen of a suit (a pair or marriage) can obtain additional points by declaring them as follows: King and Queen of Hearts 100 points King and Queen of Diamonds 80 points King and Queen of Clubs 60 points King and Queen of Spades 40 points Deal The deal, bidding and play are clockwise.

  • Revised 03/18 Canasta Table Rules for Spring Run Clubhouse The
    Revised 03/18 Canasta Table Rules for Spring Run Clubhouse The following guidelines have been compiled to unify and establish the House Rules for American Canasta at the Spring Run Clubhouse. Should there be questions on Rules or Guidelines, the Facilitator will make a judgement. Canasta is played with 2 decks of cards = 108. Each deck includes 2 Jokers = 4. The winner of the game is the first team to score a total of 8500 points. Canasta * A canasta consists of seven (7) cards. * A Natural or Pure canasta is 7 of the same card with NO wild cards and is indicated by closing it with a red card on top. * A Dirty or Mixed canasta must have 5 of the number as a minimum with 2 Wild Cards (2 and Jokers) and is indicated by closing it with a black card on top. * A Mixed or Dirty Canasta can NEVER have more than 2 Wild cards. Point Value of Each Card * 5 point card - 4, 5, 6, & 7 * 10 point card - 8, 9, 10, J, Q, & K * 20 point card - Aces and 2 * 50 point card - Jokers The Cut and Deal * Begins with the person on the right of the dealer cutting the deck. * The bottom portion is dealt one at a time until each player has 13 cards. * The player who cuts takes 8 cards from the bottom of the top cut and places them in the tray with a 9th card at right angle. This is one of the 2 Talons. The Play * Begins with each person picking and discarding in turn until they are able to meld the required amount.

  • Solitaire: Man Versus Machine
    Solitaire: Man Versus Machine Xiang Yan∗ Persi Diaconis∗ Paat Rusmevichientong† Benjamin Van Roy∗ ∗Stanford University {xyan,persi.diaconis,bvr}@stanford.edu †Cornell University [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we use the rollout method for policy improvement to an- alyze a version of Klondike solitaire. This version, sometimes called thoughtful solitaire, has all cards revealed to the player, but then follows the usual Klondike rules. A strategy that we establish, using iterated roll- outs, wins about twice as many games on average as an expert human player does. 1 Introduction Though proposed more than fifty years ago [1, 7], the effectiveness of the policy improve- ment algorithm remains a mystery. For discounted or average reward Markov decision problems with n states and two possible actions per state, the tightest known worst-case upper bound in terms of n on the number of iterations taken to find an optimal policy is O(2n/n) [9]. This is also the tightest known upper bound for deterministic Markov de- cision problems. It is surprising, however, that there are no known examples of Markov decision problems with two possible actions per state for which more than n + 2 iterations are required. A more intriguing fact is that even for problems with a large number of states – say, in the millions – an optimal policy is often delivered after only half a dozen or so iterations. In problems where n is enormous – say, a googol – this may appear to be a moot point because each iteration requires Ω(n) compute time. In particular, a policy is represented by a table with one action per state and each iteration improves the policy by updating each entry of this table.

    ULF MARTIN, JOHN McLEOD Playing the Game: Dreierles he 2018 IPCS Convention in Leinfelden-Echterdingen and the following days were particularly fruitful for card game research. Not only did we Tenjoy the experience of playing the Württemberg games Gaigel and Binokel with local players during the Convention itself, but we also took the opportunity to learn several other fascinating card games during our subsequent travels in Southwest Germany. In a future article we will write about the various types of Schafkopf we discovered in the Palatinate. Meanwhile this article is devoted to a little-known Tarot game played in Central Baden. The former state of Baden, now part of the Land Baden-Württemberg, is so far as we know the only region in Germany where the tradition of playing games with the Tarot cards has survived. In this region the special 54-card French-suited Tarot pack known as Cego is used. There are two designs – the one most often used is an animal Tarot, but another version with domestic scenes on the trumps, somewhat like the modern French Tarot design, may still occasionally be found. Cego is also the name of the Tarot game most often played with these cards, and it is sometimes described as the “national card game of Baden”. But the same cards are also used for at least two other games. One is Strassenwart, also known as Vier-Anderle, which is not a Tarot game proper. The other is Dreierles (“Dreierle”, “Dreier”), a true Tarot game with some resemblance to Austrian Tapp-Tarock. From a pack made by The existence of Dreierles was already known Jacob, Mannheim, c.1890 to us from an article by Friedrich Schlager1 and it is mentioned in history of Tarot games by Dummett and McLeod2, but until recently we were unsure whether the game had survived, and we had no detailed description of it.

    1-Person Card Games SUPPLIES 1 Deck of Cards for more games, 2 Decks of cards for others Wish Solitaire THE OBJECTIVE To win the game, you must clear away all piles in pairs. SET UP Remove all 2s - 6s to form a deck of 32 cards Shuffle cards and deal 4 cards face down into a pile on the table. Deal the whole deck into piles of 4 cards, lining the piles up so that there are 8 total piles in a row from left to right. PLAY Turn over the top cards of each pile so that they are face up. Take any cards that are pairs of the same kind, regardless of suit - two 10’s, two Kings,etc. and clear them away. Once you have removed a card from the top of the pile, turn over the next card on thepile so it is face up. Accordion THE OBJECTIVE The goal is to get all the cards in one pile SET UP The player deals out the cards one by one face up, in a row from left to right, as many at a time as space allows. (Dealing may be interrupted at any time if the player wishes to make a move. After making a move, the deal is then resumed). PLAY Any card may be placed on top of the next card at its left, or the third card at its left, if the cards are of the same suit or of the same rank. EXAMPLE Four cards, from left to right, are: 6 hearts, J hearts, 9 clubs, 9 hearts.
