Rules of the game in preferenceleningrad. Preference online at LiveGames: description and rules Additional terms found in the game Preference

To play online preference, 32 cards are used (a small deck without sixes). You can play for two, three or four people (in this case, the dealer does not take part in the game, less often they play with two decks). The place (order) of the players in the preference is determined by drawing lots. The rights of the first application (when trading) and the first move (in the game) are transferred from player to player in a clockwise direction. In the online game, preference exists for free:

One of the suits can be designated by the player as trump. In the trump suit, the seniority of the cards is preserved. For each move, preference players must put one card in the suit, if there is none, then a trump card, and if there are no trump cards, any card. The trick is taken by the player whose card is higher in the trick.

The meaning of the preference game is to evaluate your cards, order and play the most profitable contract.

How to play preference?

The process consists of the following stages - distribution, trading, ordering a game and drawing cards. The draw can be of the following types:

1. For tricks - the player undertakes to take the number of tricks, not less than stated.
2. Mizer - the player undertakes not to take a single bribe.
3. Passing - each player seeks to take as few tricks as possible.

Trade in preference

After the distribution in preference, there is a bargaining between the players, the essence of which is to order and play a more profitable contract. Each player, in order of priority, clockwise, can either declare a request for the game, or refuse to play. The next player, in a circle, can order a higher order. If he does not want to bargain, then he can declare "pass".

The sequence of contracts in trading by seniority:

the contract	The player undertakes to take bribes	Whistlers must take on all tricks, no less than
	at least 6	4
	at least 7	2
	at least 8	1
	at least 9	1
	at least 10	1
minuscule	none	no obligation

BK is a game without trump cards. Such a draw is older than the trump one with the same number of tricks.

The player who made the oldest bid takes the buyback and gets the right to order a contract in preference. If all the players said “pass”, then the rally is played.

Game order

After the end of trading in online preference, the purchase is opened for everyone to see. The player who got the buy-in takes it and discards any two cards. After that, he is obliged to order a game, and no less, in seniority, than the one on which the trade stopped. The only exception to preference is free - minuscule, it can only be ordered immediately.

Whist:
After the player has placed an order for the contract, the other players decide whether they are obliged to take the number of bribes assigned to them in this game or not. If the player undertakes to take a certain number of tricks, he declares "whist", if not - "pass".

Playing a contract (whistling) in preference can be done in the dark and in the light. If both players whist, the whist is always blind. If one player whistles and the other passes, then the whistling player has the right to choose the type of whist - blind or bright. If a fair whist is chosen, then the cards of both the passer and the whistler are revealed, while the whistler manages both his own cards and the cards of the passer.

Playing for bribes in preference

The player who ordered the game in the pref is obliged to fulfill the contract - to take the declared number of tricks. If the player does not collect the required number of tricks, he receives a penalty, which is recorded uphill. If the player has taken the required number of tricks, he is recorded in the bullet. If the player in preference took more tricks than the declared one, he still gets a record in accordance with the declared game.

A draw for bribes is played if it is "envious", that is, at least one of the rivals in the preference declared "whist" (undertook to take a certain number of bribes). If all the players said “pass”, then such a game is considered played (an appropriate entry is made in the bullet).

Miser in preference

Mizer - a rally that the player undertakes to play without taking a single trick. A miser in preference is ordered only if the player has not yet made a single request in the current deal.

Unpacking

It is played if all three players, in the order of the game, declared "pass". A pass is a rally in which you need to take as few tricks as possible (a penalty is due for tricks). There are no trump cards on the pass.

Recording scores and game duration

Each type of preference corresponds to a certain number of points for the size of the bonus, landing, distribution of whists, their value, and the cost of games.

To record points in an online game of preference for players, a specially marked sheet of paper is used, called "pulka".

If the player played successfully, he writes them into a bullet. If you didn't get the right number bribes - uphill. For each trick when whisting, the player writes whists. If the whistling player did not take tricks, then he writes both whists and a fine uphill at the same time. With a remise (lack of bribes) of the player, the whistled player writes a consolation - a bonus for the player's hoisting. As a result of all entries for each game, a balance of won and lost whists is obtained, which is its value.

A game of preference consists of several games, and is played until the end condition is met. Preference download is not required. The conditions for playing preference, depending on the preliminary agreement of the players, may be as follows:

• each player scored a certain number of points in the pool
• players have scored a certain total number of points in the pool

Rules of the game of preference

Deck of preference cards

A deck of cards in preference consists of 32 cards. It has 4 suits of 8 cards each - from ace to seven.
Seniority of suits in ascending order: spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts.
Seniority of cards in suit in ascending order: seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, king, ace.
One of the suits can be assigned as a trump card, any trump card is older than any non-trump card. In the trump suit, the seniority of the cards is preserved.

The rules of bribes and the sequence of moves in preference

The first card placed on the table is called the move. Each player must play one card per turn.
Cards are laid out according to the following rules:
On a turn, the player must put a card of the suit of the move. If there are no cards of the suit of the move in the hand, the player must put the trump card. If there is no trump card, you can put any card.
The trick is taken by the player who owns the highest card in this trick, taking into account the trump cards.

In preference, the rights of the first application in trading and the first move in the game are transferred from player to player. The player who has the right of the first move and the first application in the trade is called the "first hand". The player following him is the "second hand" and the last player is the "third hand".

Types of games in preference

There are three groups of games in the preference - games for bribes, minuscule and unpacking.
In games for bribes, the player undertakes to take at least the number of bribes declared by him when trading. The game can go with a trump card and without a trump card. The goal of the other players is to prevent him from doing so - i.e., in turn, to take as many tricks as possible (if possible).
By declaring a minuscule, the player undertakes not to take a single bribe. Other players, on the contrary, try to force him to take bribes.
In the rally, each player tries to take as few tricks as possible.

Possible game orders

The games for tricks and miser in preference are ranked as follows: the minimum number of tricks that can be ordered is 6, the maximum is 10.
The player undertakes to take the declared number of tricks, while all Whistlers in total must take at least 4 tricks in a six-handed game, at least 2 tricks in a seven-handed game, and at least 1 trick in an eight-handed, nine-fold, ten-handed game. On the minuscule, the Whistlers have no obligations.
For example, a contract of 6 spades means that the player undertakes to take at least 6 tricks with a trump suit of spades. You can play without a trump card (B / K), such a game is older than a trump card with the same number of tricks.

Entry in preference

The meaning of the game is to evaluate your cards, order and play the most profitable contract.

The results of games in preference are recorded in a bullet, on a mountain and in whists. For the contract played, the player receives points in a bullet. For an ordered and unplayed contract, the player receives a penalty on the mountain. Players opposing the player write whists on him for each trick they take, and if they did not take the required number of tricks, they receive a fine uphill.
The game protocol for recording bullets, mountains and whists is also called bullet.

Varieties of preference, differing in the cost of games and passes, the distribution of whists between players, features of trade are called conventions. In our project, game options are presented - Leningradka, Sochinka and Rostov.

Trade

Each hand is played by three players. 10 cards are dealt. The two remaining cards are called the buy-in, and their contents are unknown to anyone until the end of the trade.
The purpose of trading in the preference game is to get the right to buy and order the most profitable contract for yourself.
The process of trade in preference is as follows. Each player, in turn, clockwise, can make a request to play or refuse to play. When applying for a game, he must clearly indicate the type of game, and when refusing to play, declare “pass”. The rescuing player does not take part in further trading. In turn, you can make only one application. The minimum order is six tricks, with a spade in trump cards - i.e. "6 spades". The next player can order, in accordance with the seniority of the games in the table, only the older game, that is, "6 clubs". The next bid can only be "6 diamonds", etc. If the player does not want to bargain further, he can in turn call "pass". The last player who did not save, who participated in the trade and made the highest bid, gets the right to buy and order a contract.
If all three players have passed, a pass is played - a game in which everyone tries to take as few tricks as possible.

Game order

After the end of the trade, the buyback is opened to the public and given to the player who won the right to order the game. The player takes a buyback and demolishes any two cards in the demolition. After that, he must order the game. You can order any game no younger than the one on which the trade stopped. There is one exception - minuscule. You can order a minuscule only immediately. That is, you can not first say "six spades", and then, on the next round of trading - "minuscule".
If the preference player took a buyback, then ordering the game is mandatory, even if it is obviously impossible to win.

Bribe game

The player who participated in the trade and took the buyback is obliged to order a game no lower than the one to which the trade has reached. For example, if you traded up to 7 spades, then you can no longer order six-handed games. The game is assigned after demolition.
Having ordered the game, the player undertakes to take a certain number of tricks. If the player does not collect the required number of tricks, he is penalized for the mountain. The amount of the fine depends on the uncollected number of bribes. Shortage of bribes is called a remise.
If the player takes the declared number of tricks, an entry is made in the bullet, in the amount determined for this game.
If the player took more tricks than required for the ordered game - for example, he ordered 6 tricks, but took 7 - the record still goes in accordance with the ordered game.
The trick game is played if she is envious. This means that at least one of the opponents in the game announced "whist" and, thus, assumed the obligation to take a certain number of tricks. If all players said “pass”, then the game is considered played, and the corresponding entries are made in the bullet.

After the order of the contract has taken place, the other players must decide whether they are obliged to take the number of tricks they are entitled to in this game, or not. If the player undertakes to take a certain number of tricks, he declares "whist", if not - "pass".

To whistle - to play a contract - you can blindly and in the light. If both players whist, then whist is always blind. If one player whistles and the other passes, then the whistling player chooses the type of whist - light or dark. If a bright whist is chosen, then the cards of both the passer and the whistler are laid out on the table, and the whistler disposes of both his own cards and the cards of the passer.
If the player has the right of the first move, then the players must agree before the start of the game at what point to open the cards - before the first move or after the player's first move.

Responsibility for whistling

If the game is envious, then the whistler is responsible for taking a certain number of tricks. The passer does not bear such responsibility.
For each trick, the whistler writes a certain number of points (whisks) to the player.
If both opponents of the player whistle, then, if there is a shortage of bribes (remise), in addition to whists for actual bribes, the player who did not take bribes writes a penalty uphill.
If the player did not take tricks, then those who whisted in addition to the whists for actual tricks receive a consolation - a bonus for the player's hoisting. The size of the consolation, its distribution among the players, the number of points for a trick - depends on the preference conventions.

miser

Miser is a game when the player undertakes not to take a single bribe. A miser can be ordered only if the player has not made a single request in the current deal. In trade, the minuscule is interrupted by a nine-fold (or, by agreement, a ten-fold game). Mizer is played without trump cards, all other rules of tricks (takes the highest card, be sure to put the suit on the suit, if there is no suit, you can put any card, the player who took the last trick goes) are preserved.

Raspasovka, or raspasy

The rally is played if all three players have declared "pass". Passing is a game in which all players try to take as few tricks as possible.
There are no trump cards on the pass.

The game begins with the fact that one card of the draw is opened sequentially.
When playing with three players, the draw card only indicates the suit, and the trick belongs to the player who put the highest card. In a four-player game, the draw card belongs to the fourth player. Therefore, if this card takes a bribe, then this bribe is considered to be the dealer and is recorded uphill on a common basis.
Different preference conventions online have their own features of the game and recording the results of the unpacking. The convention of the table stipulates the features of the distributions, i.e. a progressive increase in the cost of a trick if several hands are played in a row. Varieties of progression - arithmetic and geometric.

The cost of games in online preference

Each online game of preference corresponds to a certain number of points, which the player writes down either in a bullet if he successfully played the game, or in a mountain if he did not take the required number of tricks. For each trick when whisting, the player writes whists. If the whistling player did not take tricks, then he writes both whists and a fine uphill at the same time. When the player remeezes, the whistled player writes a consolation - a bonus for the player's hoisting. The size of the bonus for hoisting, the distribution of whists, their value, the cost of games varies depending on the variety (convention) of preference. As a result of all entries for each game, a balance of won and lost whists is obtained, which is its value.
