Desarrollo del juego< /span>

The game lasts ten rounds. Before the start of each round, each player must announce the number of tricks he would like to win in that round. After that, each player always plays exactly one card, the highest one wins the trick.

Each player only receives one card in the first round, two in the second round and two in the third three and so on.

At the beginning of the round, each player must predict the number of tricks they will take, face down.

Jugar cartas

Once all players have chosen, the starting player begins to play one of his cards. He is always placed on the far left of the display, with the following players sitting to the right of him in the order of play. All players then also place a card in this order.

The following applies: The color laid out first must always be used!

For example, if the first player lays out a red card, all other players must also lay out a red card if they have one. The only exceptions are the special cards: You can always lay these cards, regardless of the color you first played (does not apply to black skull cards!).

Ganar una mano

Once all players have played a card, it is determined who takes the trick. How the cards can sting is explained below:

Normal color cards

Here, the suit laid out first is trump. It must be served (unless you play an special card). The highest color that was laid out first wins. Other color cards (except black) count for nothing and never win.

Skull flags (black)

Skull cards are < strong> no special cards, i.e. they may only be placed if you cannot use the card that was first laid out! They beat any other color card. If there are several skull cards, the higher one wins.

Escape

Escape has the value 0 and is always the lowest card .

Siren

The siren is higher than all color cards (including the black ones!). She also outsmarts the Skull King, but not the pirates (if no Skull King is down). If she overstabs the Skull King, she also receives the Bonus. If there are several sirens, the one placed first trumps.

Pirates

Pirates trump all color cards, skull cards and the siren. They can only be overtaken by a previously placed pirate card, the Skull King or a siren (if it has overtaken a Skull King).

Tigress

The Tigress can be played either as an escape or as a pirate. If you play it, you get a selection window in which you have to specify your choice:

Skull King< /span>

The Skull King is the highest card. He can only be hit by a siren.

Special cases

• If the card played first is a special card, the next (normal) color card played determines the color to be used.
• If the card played first is a skull card, it does not have to be played with a higher card if there is no skull card Special card can be overprinted. Normal color cards can be played (but they do not trick)
• If only escapes were played, the person who played the first escape wins the trick

< b>Puntaje

At the end of each round, each player's tricks are counted. Anyone who has received as many tricks as they predicted receives 20 points per trick won. If a player does not reach his announced goal, 10 points are deducted for each trick that he was above or below his announcement.

If a player announces 0 tricks and succeeds If so, he receives the number of points for the current round x10. So if he says 0 in the fifth round and holds on to 0, he gets 50 points. However, if he receives one or more tricks despite a 0 announcement, the same number of points will be deducted! You can win a lot of points with a 0 announcement, but you can also lose a lot.

Bonus points

• Each pirate captured with the Skull King brings 30 bonus points. The Tigress always counts as a pirate, even if it was played as an escape
• If you catch the Skull King with your siren, you get 50 bonus points

Attention: You only receive bonuses if you have correctly predicted the number of tricks you will take. Whoever is wrong receives no bonus!

If the trick has been awarded, the player who took the trick starts and lays Now first choose another card.
