Summary

Go Fish is a 2 to 6 player "book collecting" game. There are no teams.

Suit does not matter in this game.

Objective

The objective is to collect the most number of "books".

A "book" is a set of 4 cards with the same rank, such as 4 Jacks or 4 Sixes.

Deal

Each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards (7 cards in a 2 player game) from a standard deck of 52 cards.

The remaining cards are dealt into a pile at the center of the table. This known as the "pond".

A random player is chosen to go first.

Play

On a players turn, they first select any card from their hand. For example, a Jack. They then select another player to ask if they have any cards of the same rank. For example, "Rob, do you have any Jacks?".

If the asked player has any cards with that rank (Jacks in this case), they must give them all to the asking player. The asking player then gets to ask again.

If the asked player does not have any cards of that rank, they say "Go Fish!". Now the asking player draws a random card from the pond in the middle, if any remain. If they draw a card with the rank they asked for, they get to ask again. Otherwise play proceeds to the next player, in clockwise order.

When a player collects 4 cards of the same rank, this is called a "book". These cards are removed from their hand and they score 1 point.

Game End

The game ends when any player's hand is empty.

The player with the highest score (most number of books) wins!

Strategy

Playing:

It is important to remember what cards people have by watching who asks who for which cards.
Players with more cards in their hand are more likely to have a card you are looking for.
Make sure not to ask the same person for the same card too often. Ask different people for cards.
Ask for cards you only have one of. This increases the chance you will gain a card and thus get a free turn. This also decreases the risk of losing too many cards if someone asks you for the card.
While asking for a different card each turn may seem like a wise strategy, you are telling everyone what you have in your entire hand and that may lead to you losing a lot of your cards.

History

Go Fish first appeared around the mid 19th century.

Summary

Hearts is a 4 player "trick avoidance" game. There are no teams.

Cards are ranked from Ace (high) down to 2 (low).

Objective

The objective is to avoid taking cards worth points and to finish the game with the lowest score.

Heart cards are worth 1 point.
The Queen of Spades is worth 13 points!

Deal

Each player is dealt a hand of 13 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards.

Pass

Each player chooses 3 cards to pass to another player. Cards are passed to the left on the first hand, to the right on the second hand, across on the third hand, and no cards are passed on the fourth hand. This cycle then repeats itself until the end of the game.

Play

The player with the 2 of Clubs starts things off by playing it. The other players then each play a card in clockwise order until all 4 players have played a card. Whoever played the highest card with the same suit as the lead card, takes the cards. This is known as "winning a trick".

The trick winner starts the next trick. They can lead any card, except Hearts.

Players must play a card with the same suit as the lead card. If they do not have a card with that suit, they may play any card (except on the first trick, in which you may not play Hearts or the Queen of Spades). The first time a Heart card or the Queen of Spades is played is known as "breaking hearts". From this point on players can lead Hearts.

Shooting the Moon/Sun

Normally you try and avoid taking point cards, because points are bad. However, if you do the opposite and manage to take every single point card (every Heart card and the Queen of Spades) then you will have "Shot the Moon". When you "Shoot the Moon" all other players are punished with 26 points.

Even more difficult is "Shooting the Sun". This happens if you manage to take all 13 tricks, thus every single card. This will punish other players with 52 points! This is VERY rare occurrence and is a sight to behold!

If punishing your opponents with points would cause one of them to take first place and win, then your score will be reduced by either 26 or 52 points instead.

TRAM

If it is guaranteed that your hand will win all remaining tricks, you will be presented with a TRAM button. This stands for "The Rest Are Mine". Clicking it will give you all the remaining tricks.

This is just a way to make the game move along a bit quicker. This option is only available if it is impossible for anyone else to take any tricks due to the cards you have in your hand (such as A, K, Q, J of the same suit).

Game End

The game ends when any player reaches 100 points.

The player with the lowest score wins!

Game Specific Options

Allow First Turn Hearts: Normally hearts cannot be played on the first turn. Turning on this option allows hearts to be played on the first turn.

Strategy

Passing:

You normally want to pass your high cards, Aces, Kings and Queens.
If you have the Queen of Spades, you may want to keep it if you have 3 or more spades in your hand, otherwise you may want to pass it.
Passing the Queen of Spades to your right is pretty safe, but be careful passing the Queen of Spades to your left.
If you have less than 3 cards in a given suit, it may be wise to pass all of them. That way, if you don't get passed any in that suit, you will have more opportunities to ditch unwanted cards during game play.

Playing:

No points can be played on the first trick, so you can safely play the highest card you have.
Playing high cards early in the hand is safer since your opponents will often still have cards in that suit.
Try and remember which high cards have been played, especially the Queen of Spades.
If you are the last to play a card and your lowest in suit card will win the trick and the trick contains points, you might as well play your highest in suit card, since you are taking that trick no matter what.

History

This version of Hearts first appeared somewhere between 1850 and 1880. It's origins can be traced back even further to a family of games called Reversis, which was popular in Spain around 1750.

Summary

Spades is a 4 player "trick taking" game. There are two teams of two, with partners sitting across from each other.

Cards are ranked from Ace (high) down to 2 (low).

Objective

The objective is to be the first team to reach 500 points.

Deal

A random player is chosen to be the dealer.

Each player is dealt a hand of 13 cards from a standard deck of 52 cards.

The player to the dealer's left goes first.

Bid

Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player places a bid. They are bidding how many "tricks" they think they can take. Players may bid from 0 (nil) to 13 tricks.

Each team adds together the bids of each partner. This is the number of tricks the team must take as a whole to avoid receiving negative points.

A bid of 0 tricks is known as a "nil" bid. This player is saying that they will not take any tricks this hand. If they succeed in not taking any tricks, their team scores a bonus. If they take 1 or more tricks, they fail and their team will receive a penalty.

Play

The start player starts the trick by playing any card from their hand, except Spades. The other players then each play a card in clockwise order until all 4 players have played a card. Whichever player played the highest card with the same suit as the lead card, takes the cards. This is known as "winning a trick".

The trick winner starts the next trick.

Players must play a card with the same suit as the lead card. If they do not have a card with that suit, they may play any card (except on the first trick, in which you may not play Spades). The first time a Spade card is played is known as "breaking spades". From this point on players can lead Spades.

Normally the highest card with the same suit as the lead card wins the trick. However, if a Spade is played on the trick, then the highest Spade card will win the trick instead. This is known as "trumping" and the Spades are considered a "trump" suit.

TRAM

Score

After each hand, scores are calculated for each team.

If a team took at least as many tricks as they bid, they will gain 10 points per trick bid. Every trick taken beyond their bid is worth 1 point.

If a team did not take enough tricks to meet their bid, they will lose 10 points per trick bid. This is known as being "set". For example, if a team's combined bid is '5' and at the end of a hand they only took 4 tricks between the two of them, then they will lose 50 points.

Additionaly, for every trick taken beyond what the team bid, that team will earn a "bag". Over the course of the game these bags accumulate. Every time a team accumulates 10 bags, that team will lose 100 points.

If a player bid "nil" and successfully does not take any tricks, then their team will gain 100 points.

If a player who bid "nil" fails and takes any tricks, then their team will lose 100 points.

Note that if a "nil" bidder fails and takes tricks, those tricks do NOT count towards the team goal. A "nil" bidder is on their own and so is their teammate in regards to making the bid.

Game End

The game ends when any team reaches 500 points or falls to -200 points. The team with the highest score wins!

Strategy

Bidding:

Keep an eye on what has already been bid by the time it gets to you. There are only 13 tricks available to take. If the total of all bids exceeds this, then one team is guaranteed not to make their bid. Make sure it's not your team!
If you don't have a lot of bags, it may be good to bid 1 less than you think you can take. This allows you to cover for your opponent if needed and you can always throw away cards.
If your opponents have a lot of bags, you may wish to underbid and then force them to take tricks they do not want.
If you are close to winning, you may want to be more conservative in your final bid to ensure you will meet your bid and still win. Just be careful of bags.
Do not bid nil if your partner has already bid nil
If your partner already bid, and they bid nil, you may want to bid a little higher than you normally would as you may be taking more tricks than usual as part of your duty to cover your partner.

Playing:

In general if you are the last person to play and your partner is alerady winning the trick, it's best not to steal the trick from them by playing a higher card or a trump.
If your partner bid nil, make sure you play lots of high cards to cover them! If you play an Ace of Hearts for example, and they only play a 2 of Hearts, then they likely don't have any more Hearts. Thus it is good to continue leading Heart cards so your partner can get rid of high cards they have from other suits.
If the bids are more than 13, then one team is guaranteed not to make their bid. In this situation it is usually useful to lead spades as soon as possible.
More often than not, it's not the spades that cause a team to be "set" but rather the cards that are played after the spades.
When the highest card in a suit is played, that is usually a good time to get rid of your middle cards (8, 9, 10).

History

Spades was invented in the the USA in the 1930s and became quite popular in the 1940s. Spades is a member of the Whist family of card games.

Summary

Euchre is a 4 player "trick taking" game. There are two teams of two, with partners sitting across from each other.

Cards are ranked from Ace (high) down to 9 (low) except for cards in the trump suit which are ranked:

Jack of Trump Suit
Jack of the suit with same color as trump suit
Ace of Trump Suit
King of Trump Suit
Queen of Trump Suit
10 of Trump Suit
9 of Trump Suit

Objective

The objective is to be the first team to reach 10 points.

Deal

A random player is chosen to be the dealer.

Each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards from a deck of cards containing only A K Q J 10 9 of each suit.

The player to the dealer's left goes first.

Consider Up Card

A card is dealt from the deck face up for all to see.

Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player has the option to "Accept" the up card as the trump suit or "Pass".

If the Up Card is accepted by any player, that card is given to the dealer who must then discard a different card and then normal play begins.

If all 4 players choose to "Pass", then we move to the Consider Suit phase.

Consider Suit

Starting with the start player and proceeding clockwise around the table, each player has the option to choose any suit to become the trump suit or they can "Pass".

If 3 players pass, the dealer is then forced to choose a suit to become the trump suit. This is known as "Sticking the Dealer".

Play

The start player starts the trick by playing any card from their hand. The other players then each play a card in clockwise order until all 4 players have played a card. Whichever player played the highest card with the same suit as the lead card, takes the cards. This is known as "winning a trick".

The trick winner starts the next trick.

Players must play a card with the same suit as the lead card. If they do not have a card with that suit, they may play any card.

Normally the highest card with the same suit as the lead card wins the trick. However, if a card in the trump suit is played on the trick, then the highest trump suit card will win the trick instead.

Score

After each hand, scores are calculated for each team.

The player that chose the trump suit is part of the "Maker" team.

The other team is the "Defending" team.

If the "Maker" team takes 3 or 4 tricks, they will receive 1 point.

If the "Maker" team manages to take all 5 tricks, they will receive 2 points.

If the "Defending" team manages to take 3 or more tricks, then they will receive 2 points.

Going Alone

When considering the up card and suit, the players can also choose to "Go Alone".

When choosing this option, your teammate will discard their cards and will not play this hand.

Instead you are all on your own when it comes to taking tricks.

If you manage to take 3 or 4 tricks when "Going Alone" your team will receive 2 points instead of just 1.

If you take all 5 tricks, your team will receive 4 points!

If the "Defending" team manages to stop you by taking at least 3 tricks, they will receive the standard 2 points.

Game End

The first team to reach 10 points wins!

Strategy

Selecting Suit:

If you or your teammate are the dealer, remember that the dealer receives the face up card if it is chosen as trump.
In general you should not "Accept" unless you have at least 2 of the suit being considered.
Going Alone is risky, only do this if you are certain you can take at least 3 tricks.

Playing:

If you chose the trump suit, it is generally good to lead with your highest trump. This will force your opponents to play their trump cards.
You can usually count on your partner for at least 1 trick.
If your opponent is Going Alone, best to lead a card with a suit that you have several of. This gives your partner the chance to trump over your opponent.
Make sure you keep track of which cards are played, especially the two Jacks.

History

Euchre was first known to exist around 1850. Euchre was the game responsible for introducing the Joker. The version of Euchrehere on World of Card Games is the USA version of the game, which does not use the joker.
