Mus (card game)
Mus is a traditional card game of Basque origin that is played primarily in Spain and France (where the first World Cup took place in 1978) but also in Germany.
regulate
The game is played with Spanish cards and in two teams of two. Each player receives four cards. If no player objects, any number of cards can be exchanged to improve the quality of your own hand. The readiness to swap is indicated by the announcement of "Mus". If all four players say "Mus", you can swap. This process can be repeated as often as required.
aims
The aim of the game is to win a previously agreed number of sets. A sentence is usually over thirty points. Points are earned by placing bets on the strength of your team's hands. In addition, after the betting round is over, the team that has won a certain bet receives special points for certain card combinations. There are four bets in a row:
- Grande : It depends on the highest possible cards.
- Chica : It depends on the lowest possible cards.
- Pares : It depends on the highest possible pair combinations.
- Juego : This bet depends on certain point value combinations.
All four bets are played one after the other with the same hands, the cards are only revealed after all four bets. This results in many bluffing opportunities .
Signals
It is expressly permitted, as is also the case with wattening , with mus the use of certain fixed secret symbols to indicate to the team partner which cards are in hand. For example, a quick bite on the middle of the lower lip signals two kings.
