Rabouge

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rabouge , also called Rappuse or Rapuse , is a card game with French playing cards and any number of players. In the game, the other players try to put their cards as quickly as possible in a central display. The game is similar to Quarrel Solitaire for two players, but has a simpler structure.

Style of play

Rabouge is played with any number of card games with values ​​from Ace to King, depending on the number of players. The cards are completely distributed to the other players who place their cards in front of them as a draw pile ( talon ). Each player tries to place his cards with those of the others in a series of 13 cards (ace, two, three etc.) by discarding the talon, whereby any card may form the beginning and the colors are insignificant.

A complete series (little house) and the 13th card that concludes it is called Rabouge in the narrower sense.

The game existed in several variants, whereby always the one who wins the game, who put all his cards first or, if nobody can lay out any more, did most of the rabouges.
