Bidding (card game)
The bidding or foliage Offer is in the Tyrol and the Bavarian Alpine foothills popular card game . It used to be considered the game of the raftsmen and the packers . The special feature of the offer is to be betting game -character. The player has the possibility, if he is in possession of a bad piece, to get his opponents to fold by skillful bidding ( bluffing ).
Game material
It is played with the German hand and can be seen as a preliminary stage to Perlaggen . Usually two to five people play it. Acorn 6s, leaf 6s and 6s of hearts are sorted out from the 36-sheet deck of cards. Only the 6-bells ( Weli ) is left in play.
regulate
The dealer shuffles the cards and gives them to the player on his right to cut. Then he deals three or four cards (two per round) to each player - depending on the game variant. The player to the left of the dealer begins to discard a card, the rest of the players follow. The higher card with the same suit as the first card played always wins. The one who stabbed throws out, etc. until all rounds are over and the end of a single game is reached. The cards of the tricks remain face up on the table in front of the respective player.
In the course of the game rounds, each player has the right, when it is his turn (whether it is to move or not) to bid a piece. The prerequisite is that he also owns this figure (exception "game" - see below) and that the figure has not yet been offered in this game. There are the following five figures:
- Foliage - the highest green
- Red - the highest heart
- Same - two or more cards of the same rank
- Hanger / Stallion - two or more cards of consecutive rank
- Game - the trick in the last, third or fourth round
The bidding happens for example with the words "I bid my heart" . The remaining players now have the following options:
| possibility | impact |
|---|---|
| Leave the commandment "Is guad" |
if you don't own the figure or if you think your figure is too low |
| Keeping the commandment "I look your heart" |
when you own the figure and believe that your figure is higher |
| Three bids "3 on your heart" |
if you own the piece and think your piece is higher, or to bluff ; The first bidder or any other player has to answer whether he accepts or keeps this bid |
The aim of deciduous areas is to achieve a previously agreed total number of points and not to exceed it.
The “game” is a specialty. Every player can bid “a game” at any time, because at the beginning you don't know who will score the last round. However, if the first card was laid out in the last round, only those players who are of the same color can bid.
Rating
At the end of a game, each player counts his own points according to the following rules:
- If a bid was accepted by the other players, the bidder receives one point, regardless of whether he actually has the highest figure or not.
- If a bid was kept, the player with the highest figure receives two points, regardless of whether he or another player kept the bid.
- If a "three" bid has been made, the highest figure is awarded three points.
- If a piece was not bid in the course of the round, the player with the highest piece automatically receives a point for it.
- (In one variant of the game, the player who owns the Weli automatically receives a point.)
If two figures of the same size appear (e.g. two tens as equal twice) and the figure has been held, the figure with the leaves wins in front of the figure with the heart, the figure with the heart in front of the other colors. Another variant is that no player receives a point.
The winner is the player who is the first to reach an agreed number of points after several games have been played. When a player approaches this number, he is only allowed to bid so much that his stand would not exceed this number. In the Bavarian Inn Valley z. B. 11 points, at 10 points you are "excited" and are no longer allowed to bid (but keep bids). Otherwise, depending on the variant, 2 points will be deducted or no points will be awarded.
It should be noted that the rules - especially the point of the Weli - vary according to location and regulars' table.
