INTRODUCTION OF LINGER LONGER
Linger Longer is an English trick taking game. It is a simple game that incorporates a trump suit, so players may like to use this in order to teach that mechanic to others.
Play an amount of rounds equal to the number of players. For example, if there are four players, four rounds should be played.
THE CARDS & THE DEAL
Linger Longer requires a standard 52 card French deck. To determine the dealer, each player should take a card from the deck. The first player to draw a Jack becomes the dealer. From this point on, the winner deals the next round.
The dealer will shuffle the cards thoroughly. The deal for this game is unique. Each player should receive an amount of cards equal to the number of players in the game. If there are four players, each one will be dealt four cards. Five cards are dealt if there are five players and so on. The last card that is dealt to the dealer’s hand is placed face up on the table. This card establishes the trump suit for the game. Once everyone has seen the card, the dealer can pick it up and add it to their hand.
(Take note of the Lift Smoke alternative rule. The dealer does not show their card. Instead, they reveal the top card from the draw pile and place it to the side face up. That card determines trump and is not used in the game.)
The rest of the cards are placed in the center. They make up the draw pile.
Play can now begin. 안전놀이터
THE PLAY
Beginning with the player on the left side of the dealer, that player may choose any card from their hand to play and begin the trick. The trick is composed of all the cards played to the center. Following players then choose one card from their hand to play to the trick. The card they choose must follow suit. If a player can’t follow the suit that was led, they may play any card that they wish.
