One Hundred and One (101) is a card game popular in the CIS countries. Played by 2 to 6 people. The point of the game is to score as few points as possible, and ideally get rid of all the cards. This game is also called: “Czech Fool”, “Mau-Mau”, “English Fool”, “Pharaoh”, “Pentagon”.

Players are dealt 4 cards, the remaining deck is placed on the table. They go to “One Hundred and One” one by one in a clockwise direction. On the card placed on the table, the player must place a card of the same suit or the same value. In this case, if a player places a 6, then the next player must take 1 card from the deck. If 7k - then 2 cards. But he can also put the number 7 and then the next player must take 4 cards from the deck. Ace is a pass; on 8k you need to put another card of the same suit.

When one of the players runs out of cards, points are counted for those who have cards left in their hands.
