OVERVIEW OF PÖYTÄPASKA

Pöytäpaska is a beating card game for 2 to 3 players. The goal of the game is not to be the last player to hold cards. This player is declared the loser. There is no winner in this game. 

Players empty their hands by playing out cards from their hands and running out the stockpile. 

SETUP 

The dealer is determined randomly. They will shuffle the deck and deal each player a hand of 5 cards in two batches of 2 and one batch of 1. Then each player is dealt four face-down cards on the table in front of them and four face-up cards on the table in front of them. The remaining cards are placed in the center as a stockpile for the game.

Card Ranking 

The cards are ranked 2 (high), ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3 (low). The suits do not matter. The aces, 2s, and 10s have special rules discussed later under gameplay. 먹튀사이트

GAMEPLAY

The first player is the player who has the most 3s, and if there is a tie then starting from the player closest to the dealer’s left. If players have no 3s, then follow the same rules with 4, and so on. 

The first player must play the 3s or whatever starting card determined them being first. This starts the play pile all cards will be played to. A player’s turn consists of doing one of three things. 

You may play one or multiple cards that are the same rank as long as the below requirements are met. When cards are played, they must be the same or higher rank than the cards in the play pile, if any. Face cards cannot be played to the pile unless the top card is a 6 or higher rank. An ace cannot be played unless the top card is a face card or another ace. 2s can be played at any time to the play pile except when the top card is ace or 10, but only the other 2s can be played on a 2. Only another 10 can be played on a 10. A new pile can be made by playing any card when no play pile exists.
