Trumps

Remember those psenti sem days in the new wing of Ashok bhawan... We are all psenti semites on campus... my wingies... Trumps is a cards game... very interesting game.. Paagi (new name for fayaz given by KS), KSLP, anniah and me started for dinner at CMH road, shalimar... Yummy Biryanis ;) Back at 11pm to home, we went to barista for cappuccino.. We started the Trumps at 12 in the night... 4 of us, two of us sitting opposite to each other are partners. 52 cards in a pack, shuffle them properly.... Start the distribution of cards from person say A. Distribute all 52, 13 each. Person A, looks at his cards. He has to tell what symbol will form a trump for that round. Ultimate aim of the game is that - You and your partner should try your best to grab maximum number of cards after we start the game. Person A should start the game by putting a card in front and the rest of them should try to put a bigger card value in that same symbol (say if person A drops a card say A-Dice then thats the highest card.. others should also put a card each in dice... Next if he keeps a 5 Spade, then others should try to put the maximum card available so that they win that round..) If the base card is 'hearts' and you dont have 'hearts' with you at that time, then its an opportunity for you to drop a trump symbol card and then 'cut it' then its all yours irrespective of an 'A' hearts as a base card. But always remember, if you have the symbol of the base card, you MUST put the base card always. Game scores are calculated. Spade=8, Hearts=6, Diamonds (dice)=4, clubs=2. There are thirteen sets, assuming your team wins 8 Sets and the opponents will win 5 sets. Take the difference 8-5=3. Points=(Difference)*(Symbol Value Count) = 3*6=18. Since you won maximum sets you will get these points to you and your partner groups name. You can set a game for say 200 points or so. You can tell 'all trumps' as well where you dont have any trump name.. any card you keep at the base will be the trump card... this is for sure an awesome game if you love it. We played this game till 3 in the night, until the scores were me and paaji = 509 and KS and annai = 360. Lovely game, if you are four people...
