2 sevens, a seven of diamonds and a seven of hearts.Now suppose, in your eight cards, you have: When a person declares the game he may have eight cards or less than eight cards in his hand.Īfter the cards are dealt, the person who gets the 1st card first, while the cards are being distributed, plays first and the person who shuffles plays last with the turns going in a counter-clockwise direction.He would be the winner in a game of four players with a single pack of cards. So ideally if a person were to declare with all the eight cards in his hand, then he would have a minimum of 4 points if he had all the 4 Queens and all the 4 aces. The Jacks and the Kings are ten points each. As for example, An ace of spades is one point, a seven of diamonds is seven points, a three of clubs is three points and so on. The cards ranging from the ace up to ten carry their respective number of points. The Point SystemĪfter shuffling the cards, the dealer distributes 8 cards to each player.
To have the minimum number of points and declare the game once you feel that you have the cards with minimum points.
For 4 to 8 people, two packs of cards are required, without jokers. If 4 people are playing the game, then one pack of 52 cards (without the jokers) is sufficient. Declare is a card game played by 3 or more people.
