Trick-taking game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trick-taking games are card games with a distinct and common play structure: Each round of play is divided into units called tricks, during which each player selects one card from his or her hand. Domino games analogous to trick-taking card games are the Chinese Tien Gow and the Texan 42 (dominoes). In some games, such as Bridge, the lead to the first trick (the opening lead) is made by the player next in rotation after the contractor, so that the contractor plays last to that trick. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Trick-taking_game   (1583 words)

Oh Hell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The object of Oh Hell is to take exactly the number of tricks bid; unlike contract bridge and Spades, an overtrick downs the contract. The game is played using a standard 52-card deck, with ace being the highest rank, two the lowest. With six or more players, the game can be played with two decks combined or with a 63-card deck from six-player 500. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Oh_Hell   (1537 words)

Card Games: Trick Taking Games Games without trumps: the aim is to win tricks, a trick being won by the highest card played of the suit led, but there is no trump suit. Point trick games are so called because the cards have point values, and the result is determined not by the number of tricks taken, but by the total point value of cards taken. I have grouped the point trick games mainly according to the ranking and point values of the cards (and combinations); this is also a good indicator of which games are hitorically related. www.pagat.com /class/trick.html   (1391 words)

barbu.txt The trick is won by the highest card of the suit led, unless a trump is played to the trick, in which case the trick is won by the highest trump. The optimal game to leave for your last call is Fantan, because near the end of the game, players look for any excuse to double dealers who might have been forced to call a game that is grossly unsuitable for the hand dealt. Losing Tricks Losing tricks hands are harder to come by than queens hands but the penalty for calling losing tricks with an inadequate hand tends to be somewhat lower at worst than it is for queens. www.gg.caltech.edu /~jeff/games/barbu.txt   (3185 words)

Card Games: Hearts Hearts is a trick taking game in which the object is to avoid winning tricks containing hearts; the queen of spades is even more to be avoided. The player who takes the first trick (or alternatively, the first penalty point) takes the kitty and places the card(s) with his or her captured cards (the player may look at them first). The game continues until an individual player's score reaches 100 or more; then the scores of the partners are totalled and the partnership with fewer points wins. www.pagat.com /reverse/hearts.html   (3605 words)

Dia de los Meurtos Review Spared the tedium of card counting, and considering that only 24 tricks are taken during the entire game (compare to the 26 tricks taken in just the first two hands of hearts), you may expect a game of Muertos to cruise by at a respectable clip. Someone leads the first trick, and each other person now plays any card from their hand with one crucial restriction: once a card of a given color appears in a trick, no further cards of that color may be played (but black—it's not technically a color, you know—is always an option). A player who discards a card instead of playing to a trick, for instance, has just announced that his remaining cards are not black and in colors that have already appeared in the trick. www.thegamesjournal.com /reviews/Muertos.shtml   (1863 words)

RPGnet: Review of Trump, Tricks, Game! is a new trick-taking card game by Gunter Burkhardt, published by Phalanx Games, and distributed by Mayfair. Thus far Trump, Tricks, Game is my favorite trick-taking game of recent years.

This is one of the earliest commercial games basaed on the traditional game of Eights.

The Atari Times - 7800 Having said all that, Hat Trick was originally a Bally Sente arcade game which I've never seen or even have a desire to play. It's not that Hat Trick is a terrible game. This game is a true failure because the assumption should have been a 1987 game made for the 7800 could whip the skirt off a comparable game developed six years earlier for the 2600. www.ataritimes.com /7800/reviews/hattrick.html   (757 words)

Relationship Tightrope review, by Tom Vasel The game was fairly simple to teach; although I usually play through a couple of rounds, because I found that some new folk have a hard time grasping how the different colored sticks cancel each other out. Uberplay games has burst into the game market this past year with more games than many game companies have produced in their history. Sometimes taking a lot of sticks is a good thing, as long as you know that you can get rid of them all. www.thedicetower.com /reviews/relationshiptightrope.htm   (1400 words)

AndagainMA: Weird Trick-Taking Games Games in which a player can play multiple cards in the same trick, such as The Great Dalmuti, Tichu, etc. I'd be interested to see, and link to, a web page devoted to such games. The 36 trick cards are laid out in an array (4 x 9 in the 4-player game, 3 x 12 in the 3-player). The distinctive things about this game are: the phase that happens before you declare which of your tiles you are going for; and the role of the player "in the know." For reasons that will become obvious, this role rotates from hand to hand. home1.gte.net /vze1sw8q/Games/WTTG.html   (3782 words)

Amazon.com: Stratego: Toys & Games The key to the excitement of this game is that each player arranges their own "men" (soldiers, in varying ranks up to Field Marshal) their flag, their "spy"-the only piece that can conquer the opponents marshal, their "landmine" bombs, and miners (who can defuse opponents bombs). When children move from board games where success is as much contingent on luck as anything else (e.g., "Chutes and Ladders," "Candyland"), to game like "Straetgo" that require trying to out-think their opponent, they literally starting to leave childhood behind. This game is not for kids that get frustrated easily, because, as in chess, each player will lose many battles, and will need to sacrifice pieces to win the game. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000DMFU/ref=nosim/ticsto778   (1580 words)

Gambling Guide > Cards > Card Games > Trick-Taking Games Trick-taking games are card games in which play is divided into multiple rounds called tricks, during which each player plays one card from his hand, and the rules of the game determine which player wins that trick based on the cards played. A common feature of trick-taking games is the concept of following suit, in which each player is constrained in which card he may play by the obligation to match the suit of the first card played in that trick, called the lead, if he can. The object of such games varies; it is often to win the most tricks, but it may instead be to avoid winning tricks, to win exactly a certain number of tricks, or to acquire (or not acquire) certain cards. www.cardgames.freegames.eu.com /card_games/trick-taking_games.html   (1580 words)
