Blücher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bluchern is a simple card game of chance for any number of players that is played with a hand of 52 French cards (rummy hand).

history

The game of Blücher is currently only of historical significance as a game of chance. It was named after the Prussian General Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher , who is said to have liked to play this game.

Style of play

The game is played against a bank with any number of players. The center of the game round is a betting board on which fields with the numbers 1 to 13 are noted and on which the players leave their bets.

The banker shuffles the hand and lets a player cut, then he discards the cards as a talon . All players place their bets on the corresponding fields on the betting board. After all players have placed bets, the banker draws 13 cards one after the other from the talon, counts them out loud and reveals them. Every time the card value of the drawn card matches the announced number, he takes all wagers from the corresponding space on the board as the bank's profit. When all 13 cards have been revealed, the banker doubles all remaining wagers and the players can take this win, leave it or wager again. The game ends after four rounds when the talon has been completely used up.
