Macao

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 06:26:05 +0000

Macao or Macaua is a variation Makaó, which is a Hungarian version of Crazy Eights, where players play a single card in sequence in a manner similar to Uno. Unlike Uno, however, Macao is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Macao also involves bluffing so that the players do not necessarily have to play a card if they wish to save it for higher points later.

Macao is a game for two or more players, in which the object is to get rid of the cards in your hand onto a discard pile by matching the number or suit of the previous discard.

There is a huge number of variations of this game, and many alternative names. It is sometimes called Crates, Switch, Swedish Rummy, Last One or Rockaway. In Germany it is Mau-Mau; in Switzerland it is Tschausepp; in the Netherlands it is Pesten. Some British players call it Black Jack, which is unfortunate as it can lead to confusion with the well-known American banking card game Blackjack.

The basic game of Macao uses a standard 52 card pack, or two such packs shuffled together if there are a lot of players. The dealer deals (singly) five cards to each player. The undealt stock is placed face down on the table, and the top card of the stock is turned face up and placed beside the stock to start the discard pile.

Rules:
Macao game is a very popular and interactive card game with no "official" rules, played with a standard deck of 52 cards.
Each player receives 5 cards and another one will be placed on the table with face up.
The first player must add a card with same suit or same value as table card.
In sequence, the other players must provide a card with same suit or value as the last card added on the table.
If the current player can not or does not want to continue, then he must take one card from the deck. Stage winner will be the first player who remains with no cards in hand.

Romanian:
Jocul de Macao este un joc de cărți interactiv, foarte popular care nu are reguli "oficiale". Regulile sunt destul de simple.

Jocul se joaca cu un pachet standard de 52 de carti. Fiecare jucator primeste care 5 carti iar la masa este pusa o alta carte cu fata in sus.
Primul jucator trebuie sa dea o carte care sa aiba aceeasi culoare sau aceeasi valoare ca si cartea de la masa.
Pe rand, ceilalti jucatori trebuie sa dea cate o carte cu aceeasi culoare sau valoare ca si ultima carte adaugata la masa.
Daca jucatorul curent nu poate sau nu doreste sa continue, atunci va lua o carte din pachetul de carti.

O etapa a unui joc se va termina atunci cand unul dintre jucatori termina cartile din mana, moment in care se vor numara punctele. Un joc se considera terminat atunci cand unul dintre jucatori acumuleaza cel putin 100 de puncte.

Recent changes:
Fiecare jucator are propriile puncte dupa sfarsitul fiecarei etape. Astfel jucatorul care termina primul cartile are implicit 0 puncte, iar punctele celorlalti jucatori sunt calculate in functie de valorile cartilor care le-au ramas.
Cel care insumeaza cele mai putine puncte, va castiga jocul.

Tarnib

Tarneeb - New Card Game prospect
Tarneeb was probably inspired by many other Arabic card games, though many different nations throughout the Middle East claim that Tarneeb was created in their respective countries. Historically Tarneeb can be traced back to Bla'd Al Sham, more specifically Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, however the game seems to have truly flourished only from the early 18th century on.

The game
The aim of tarneeb is to win a set of continuous hands. There are four players in partnerships of two teams. A standard 52 card deck is used, each suit ranking in the usual way from Ace (high) down to two (low). The game is played in a counterclockwise fashion. The teams stay together for all the games of a set. In tarneeb tournament, at the end of a set, the losing team is replaced for the next set.

The two members of each team are seated across each other, often on a table in such a way that no player can see the cards of other players (see seating charting image). Either player of a team may collect the winning tricks.

The first dealer is chosen at random and after each hand the turn to deal passes to the right. The cards are shuffled and cut by the player to the dealer's left, and are all dealt out beginning with player to the dealer's right, one at a time or in groups of thirteen (13), so that everyone has 13 cards.
Bidding

Tarneeb seating arrangement.

The bidding begins with the first player to the right of the dealer and continues counter-clockwise. It consists of a number of tricks seven or above. A bid of more tricks outranks any bid of fewer tricks.

Each person can bid only once, eliminating the option for a player to raise their bid. In addition, the dealer, who bids last, has the option to match, rather than raise the highest bid.
Some players actually use the option of telling your partner how good are you cards i.e., helpful, not helpful at all.
Playing

The objective of the bidding team is to take at least the number of tricks that they bid. The objective of the other team is to hinder the declarer team from reaching their declared bid.

The individual declarer leads to the first trick. Players counterclockwise must follow suit if they can; a player who has no cards of the suit led can play any card. A trick is won by the highest tarneeb (trump) in it, if any. If there are no tarneebs in the trick, the highest card of the suit led wins it. The winner of a trick leads to the next.

Playing exceptions
In some regions, the declarer must start the first trick with his declared tarneeb suit. But in most cases they don't.
Scoring

Once all thirteen tricks are played, the scores of the two sides are calculated by adding the tricks each side has won. If the declarer team meets or exceed the number of bidded tricks, then they get the number of tricks they have, otherwise, they lose the bid number (subtracted from their score) and the opposing team gets the number of tricks they complete. It is possible, therefore, to have a negative score at some point. The set ends when one of the teams reaches thirty-one (31) and the losing team is replaced for the next set.

A team can win a game by bidding for 13 tricks, but they have to declare it at the bidding time by calling for a "game" (بالدق).

Gangnam Card game

Gangnam style card game (aka Macao in 3 players)

Macao or Macaua is a variation Makaó, which is a Hungarian version of Crazy Eights, where players play a single card in sequence in a manner similar to Uno. Unlike Uno, however, Macao is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Macao also involves bluffing so that the players do not necessarily have to play a card if they wish to save it for higher points later.

Some British players call it Black Jack, which is unfortunate as it can lead to confusion with the well-known American banking card game Blackjack.
The basic game of Macao uses a standard 52 card pack, or two such packs shuffled together if there are a lot of players. The dealer deals (singly) five cards to each player. The undealt stock is placed face down on the table, and the top card of the stock is turned face up and placed beside the stock to start the discard pile.

3-5-8, also known as Sergeant Major for its popularity among members of Britain's Royal Air Force, is a trick taking card game for 3 players, using a standard 52 card deck. 3-5-8 may be played as a gambling game, or not, and there are many variations with names like "8-5-3" and "9-5-2" played throughout the world.

Players and Cards

Sergeant Major is a trick taking game for 3 players, using a standard 52 card pack. It is played clockwise.

Object of the Game

The aim is to win as many tricks as possible. If a player succeeds in winning 12 or more tricks in one hand, the game ends and that player wins.
Deal and Card Exchange (first hand)

The first dealer is chosen at random. The cards are shuffled, cut and then dealt singly, 16 to each player. The last four undealt cards are placed face down on the table to form a kitty. The dealer names a suit as trumps (clubs, spades, hearts or diamonds - "no trump" is not allowed), discards any four cards face down, and takes the four undealt cards from the kitty in their place.
The Play

The player to dealer's left leads any card to the first trick. It is compulsory to follow suit if able to; a player holding no card of the suit led may play any card. Each trick is won by the highest trump it contains, or if there are no trumps in it, by the highest card of the suit led. The winner of each trick leads to the next.

First deal and exchange

Draw cards to determine the first dealer and deal 16 cards to each player, the 4 remaining cards are placed on the table to form a kitty. Dealer names a suit as trump and discards 4 cards from his or her hand before replacing them with the kitty. Some groups allow the dealer to pick up the kitty and add it to his or her hand before discarding any 4 cards of the 20 he or she now has.

Play

Eldest hand leads any card to the first trick and play moves clockwise with each player following suit, or playing any card if unable to follow suit. Each trick is won by the highest trump, or by the highest card of the suit led if no trump card was played to the trick. The winner of each trick leads to the next.

Targets and scoring
Each player has a minimum number of tricks called a target. Targets are determined by each player's seat for that hand as follows:
Eldest hand: 5
Middle hand: 3
Dealer: 8

After all 16 tricks have been played, scores and targets are compared and players who won more tricks than their target are UP by the number of excess tricks, while players who fell short of their target are DOWN by a number of tricks. If players are gambling, up players receive one stake per excess trick won, paid by down player who will have lost by the same number of tricks.
