INTRODUCTION OF UGLY

Ugly is a trick taking and trick avoidance game similar to Hearts.  Created in the 1980’s by Australian college students, this game is played over a number of rounds.  During each round, players will pass an increasing number of cards from their hand, choose a trump suit, and avoid capturing any Jacks.  The player with the highest score at the end of the final round wins the game.

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

 Ugly uses a 52 card deck.  For a three player game, remove the 2 of Spades.  Cut for low card to determine the first dealer.  Shuffle and deal out all of the cards evenly.  Thirteen cards are dealt in a four player game, and seventeen cards are dealt in a three player game.

CALLING TRUMP

After the deal and after looking at their cards, the player left of the dealer calls trump.  They may also call no trump if they wish.

THE PASS

Before play begins, players will pass a certain number of cards to the player on their left.  Each round the number of cards passed increases by two.  For the first round, one card is passed.  On the second round three cards are passed and so on.  On the final round of the game, players will pass their entire hand one player to the left.  Remember, this pass occurs after the trump suit has been called.  

THE PLAY

THE FIRST TRICK

Beginning with the player seated left of the dealer, they may lead the trick with any card.  Following players must follow suit if they can.  If they cannot follow suit they can play any card.  The highest ranking card played in the lead suit or the highest ranking trump card takes the trick.

CONTINUING PLAY

The player who captures the trick leads next.  Play continues until all of the tricks are played. 메이저토토사이트

SCORING

A player earns 1 point for each trick captured.

Players lose points for the following:

Jack of Spades = -1 point

Jack of Clubs = -2 points

Jack of Diamonds = -3 points

Jack of Hearts = -4 points

The 7 of Diamonds is referred to as the Ugly Card.  If a player captures the Ugly Card, any Jacks they capture are worth double negative points
