There are several variations of this card game. I present to you the version that has been used for a long time in my family. We can play 2 players and more.

With the help of a paper and a pencil, we follow the evolution of players from one round to another. Each time a round ends, the players who have passed their step requests move on to the next step, while the others must repeat the same step. The player who completes the 13 steps first is the big winner.

The request for the steps is essentially composed of 2 things. Those who ask to have a minimum number of cards of the same value (3, 4, Kings, …) regardless of the kind (spades, diamonds, …). And sequences, which requires a minimum number of cards of the same suits (spades, diamonds, …) that have a value that follow. For example: a sequences of 4 -> 8,9,10 and Jack of diamonds.

To have the complete rules, I invite you to download the .doc file at the bottom of this post. I offer you 2 files to print aids-game (the list of steps). The first, prints 3 game aids on a letter size sheet (8½ x 11 inches). The second one allows you to print 1 game aid on a 4 x 6 inch photo sheet.

In an upcoming blog, I will bring you the version for 2 players game only. Less step to complete and less card available too.

The game takes flight when players reach 5000 points. When a player reaches this score, he is allowed to continue accumulating the points of the previous person. Imagine a game with 6 players, and everyone has the famous 5000 points. The amount climbs and it’s your turn. The accumulated amount is returned to 8750 points and what separates you from putting your hands on all these points is the launch of one (1) dice … Everyone watches you, they live a mixture of wanting you to lose the points but at the same time hope to see the amount to grow even more to have the chance in turn to have more point … It’s hellish!

Without further wait, you can download the small files which contains all the rules we use and the game aids. Have fun!
