Dead Hand (cards)
A dummy hand or dummy in card games is a special hand dealt to an imaginary extra player, and often played out according to certain rules. A dummy hand can take the place of a human player either as a dead hand (their cards are not used in the game), or under the control of another player. In some games the dummy is played face-up. Dead hand A dead hand is a hand dealt face down, but not used in the game. Its cards are considered dead cards. The dummy does not participate in the game, is not revealed and does not score. In Rummoli the dummy position is known as the widow. A dummy hand is dealt and those cards are not revealed until the end of the game. This is designed to keep some cards out of the game, making it more challenging to win difficult hands. In some versions of Mahjong, including three player mahjong, the last 13 tiles from the wall are not used (as though it is an extra hand that is not played). Controlled hand In other games the dummy hand is controlled by a sel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Card Game
A card game is any game that uses playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, whether the cards are of a traditional design or specifically created for the game (proprietary). Countless card games exist, including families of related games (such as poker). A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules with international tournaments being held, but most are folk games whose rules may vary by region, culture, location or from circle (cards), circle to circle. Traditional card games are played with a ''deck'' or ''pack'' of playing cards which are identical in size and shape. Each card has two sides, the ''face'' and the ''back''. Normally the backs of the cards are indistinguishable. The faces of the cards may all be unique, or there can be duplicates. The composition of a deck is known to each player. In some cases several decks are Shuffling, shuffled together to form a single ''pack'' or ''shoe''. Modern car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rummoli
Rummoli is a family card game for two to eight people. This Canadian board game, first marketed in 1940 by the Copp Clark Publishing Company of Toronto requires a Rummoli board, a deck of playing cards (52 cards, no jokers), and chips or coins to play. The game is usually played for fun, or for small stakes (e.g. Canadian Dimes). Rummoli is one of the more popular versions of the Stops Group of matching card games, in particular it falls into a subgroup of stops games based on the German Poch and falls into a family of Poch variants such as the French Nain Jaune (Yellow Dwarf), the Victorian Pope Joan but most like the American game Tripoley (a proprietary name, occasionally called by the generic Michigan rummy, but not to be confused with 500 rum) which debuted eight years earlier in Chicago in 1932. Rummoli board A ''Rummoli board'', used during play, has the shape of an octagon. It is generally simply printed on a large sheet of paper. In the centre of the board is a pot ...

Dummy Whist
Dummy whist is one of many variants of the classic trick-taking card game Whist. The general rules of dummy whist are similar to that of bid whist, with two notable exceptions. Bid whist is played by four players, whereas dummy whist is played by only three. Secondly, instead of dealing a kitty, a dummy hand is dealt to be on the team of the player who wins the auction. Rules Dummy whist is a version of whist for three players. The "dummy" is dealt 13 cards; the cards are kept face-down until after the auction, when the dummy's cards are turned face-up and facing opposite the declarer. After the dummy cards are turned face-up, the declarer declares a trump suit if he bid "uptown" or "downtown" or he declares uptown or downtown if he bid no-trump. If playing with jokers, the dummy is dealt 15 cards instead of the usual 13; the declarer is allowed to discard two cards from the dummy's hand before turning it face-up. The rules of the game are the same as those of whist, with the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
