Thousand cards (marriage)

The game belongs to the genre of preference games. The game is designed for three players. The game involves a deck of 24 cards (cards from 9 to Ace are played). Each player is dealt 7 cards and 3 cards are added to the draw. Next comes the bidding for the purchase, and the player who wins the auction takes the purchase for himself. Then he gives the other two players one card each and the game begins.

The goal of the game is to be the first to score 1000 points or more. The sum of the denominations of all cards is 120 points. Cards are counted as follows: nine – 0 points, jack – 2, queen – 3, king – 4, ten – 10, ace – 11.

There is such a thing in the game as margin. This is the queen and king of the same suit. When a player declares a margin, this suit becomes trump. Advantages of margins:

Ace margin (4 aces) – 200 points; Hearts – 100 points; Diamonds – 100 points; Cross – 100 points; Peak - 100 points.

The first player to score 1000 points or more wins.
