Question on rules

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The version I play involves 1 point for 5 cards in a particular suit (as written), and an additional point per extra card in the same suit (ie, 2 pts for 6, 3 pts for 7). Is this true in other parts of Singapore? Also, a washable hand is 3 or less points, but the player has the choice of whether he wants to wash his hand or not (most likely he will, though). It is not compulsory to wash.

frankly since we play a rather funny mutation of the game (i.e. contract bridge) the rules are inconsistent in many areas. Chensiyuan 09:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

"The 'winner' is simply determined by which the player and its partner has won the most hands against the other pair of players." I thought it was that the number of tricks/sets required to win is (6 + x) (where x is the number of the winning bid) for the bid winner and partner, and (8 - x) for the other team? So if the winning bid was 1S, the win requirement is 7/7; if the winning bid was 4H, the win requirement would be 10/4? Lkc159 (talk) 10:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Konigsrufen and Other Sources for This Game

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This game has a key feature from the game called Konigsrufen, played with a Tarot deck. In the Tarot game, the winner of the bidding calls for the holder of a particular King to be his partner. Since there is a "widow," a few cards that belong to no one, he or she may wind up without a partner.

It also resembles "Cutthroat Bridge," where you pick your partner after the bidding. "Reject" is a version of Cutthroat where your chosen partner can reject you and you play against all three. 65.79.173.135 (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)Will in New Haven65.79.173.135 (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
