A rather young and not too simple card game "Deberts", the rules of which we will describe in our article, is gaining more and more popularity in Russia. She has several varieties that differ from each other in the allowable number of players. With them, as well as with little tricks and subtleties of the game, we will introduce the reader.

Summary

In the game "Deberts" the rules are quite simple and concise, so it will be very easy to memorize them. For an exciting process, you only need one deck of ordinary cards (32 pieces, without sixes). Depending on the chosen type of game, there can be from two to four participants. And its main difference from other card games is that the seniority of cards of trump and non-trump suits is not built according to the standard order. In the game "Deberts" the rules line them up in the following order (from the lowest card to the highest):

1. Trump suit - 7; eight; lady; king; ten; ace; 9; jack.
2. Non-trump suit - 7; eight; 9; jack; lady; king; ten; ace.

To master the rules of playing "Deberts" together, you need to remember the main requirement for winning - to score the required number of points as quickly as possible.

Game start

So, the card game "Deberts" begins. Its rules suggest that it starts with the delivery of cards and the definition of a trump card. In the standard version, 6 cards are de alt. The right of the first move is granted exclusively to the opponent of the dealer. The next player must play either a card of exactly the same suit or a trump card.

An interesting moment comes when the last card on the table is a trump card. In this case, the next player who makes a move must beat this card with the one that is stronger. A more powerful card gives the player the ability to take a bribe. If the game started with a trump card, then the player with the seven trump suit is allowed to replace it with another card, but only of the suit that is a trump.

Moscow "Deberts"

The described game has Moscow and Kharkov varieties. The first of them in Russia is the most popular. Detailed rules of the game in the Moscow "Deberts" are described below. There are no particularly twisted or difficult conditions here, so the Moscow "Deberts" is loved by almost everyone who has ever played it.

By the way, the basic rules of the game in "Deberts"four players do not differ significantly from the rules for two or three players.

Trade (game start)

The first person to deal cards is determined by the usual lot, and all subsequent card games are de alt by the winners of the previous ones. After careful shuffling, determining the trump suit (the highest card) and dealing, the deck is placed in the center of the table. The rules of the game in "Deberts" together (or in a different composition) make it possible to carry out many interesting "deals".

As mentioned above, the opponent of the one who de alt starts first. All players order a trump game. Here everyone has the right to speak, the player can say: "I'm playing" or "Pass". The game will be considered ordered if only one person from those present at the card table has confirmed it with the word "Playing". Then he must score more points. And if all the players passed, then in turn each calls any other suit to determine a new trump card. If everyone folded again, then the deck passes into the hands of another person and starts all over again.

Card combinations

By the way, "Deberts" rules are strict, but rather curious. After all, in fact, interest in the game quickly disappears if certain laws are not present in it.

Immediately after the trade, tricks are drawn. Prior to that, any player can safely announce that he has any combination that will help him earn extra points. As everyone knows, a combination is a special combination of cards. And a rivalcan easily beat this combination with his own, but only on the condition that it is greater. As a result, the oldest of them will win, and the player will be credited with points.

In general, there are three main combinations:

1. Fifty dollars. There are 4 cards of the same suit in a row.
2. Tertz is 3 cards in a row of the same suit.
3. Bella - trump king and queen.

And besides them, there are other combinations of cards that can also affect the player's victory.

You should pay attention to the fact that fifty dollars is more than any third. If several players have combinations of the same length, then the one whose card is read from the larger card wins. The speed in declaring your own combination will be appropriate if the combination of cards for both players is exactly the same.

There are times when several combinations are present at the same time. Only the oldest of them should be declared here, otherwise the declaration will not be accepted. The rest can only be announced if no one else interrupts her.

Prank

The draw is also present in the game "Deberts" for four. The rules here are standard, and the game itself will be much more interesting if several people take part in it.

Bribes start playing either after the announcement of combinations, or in their absence. After the opponent of the dealer, the move goes to the one who took the bribe last. A move must be only one card. Reply to the move of the previous player should be a card of the same suit, but in its absenceany card is allowed.

Hanging canoe is the same number of finishing points for players. Then the opponent writes down points for himself, but the player's accumulated points simply freeze and remain until the next game (optional). They can also be added to the player who manages to take more points on the next hand. This greatly simplifies the game for some people, and for some, even more interest and desire to win.

If this situation is repeated twice, then the players have two choices:

1. Play the sum of all the buys in the next game.
2. Play them alternately - the first buyd in the next game, and the second one after it.

In the case of a hanging canoe, the player who ordered the trump card last time will be the next to deal.

Points

Earning points is also included in the rules of the game in "Deberts". Basically the game continues until 501 points. They are counted only after the draw has been completed. You need to count them based on combinations.

Surely, many people know how to play "Deberts". The rules of the game are not very complicated, so you can remember them quickly. The main thing is to be able to correctly count the number of points. Thus, the jack of the trump suit counts as 20 points only once. In addition, there are points for tricks and combinations:

1. Tricks: jack of regular suit - 2 points; lady -3; king - 4; card 10 - 10 points; the most recent trick - 10; Ace - 11; trump card 9 - 14 points; trumpjack - 20.
2. Combinations: queen and king of trump suit or 3 consecutive cards of the same suit - 20; 4 cards in a row of the same suit - 50 points.

Pen alties

Surprises some players in "Deberts" (her rules are presented to your attention) the presence of fines. But no solid game can just do without various punishments for players. This gives her sharpness and excitement.

So, each player in his own record must comply with the so-called pencil rule. It consists in the fact that the player first writes down points, then puts down a pencil, and only after that removes the counted cards into the deck.

If an opponent was able to notice another player's extra points assigned, then after pointing it out, he has the opportunity to write down the difference for himself. These points are deducted from the deceiver. An error of exactly 100 points will, of course, be corrected, but the player will not be punished for this.

An extra card, as well as replacing the very first trump card with a seven, is a buy. In case of incorrect (possibly accidental) announcement of the end of the game, the pen alty will be in the form of an instant loss of the game.

Kharkov "Deberts"

The rules of the game in "Deberts" (Kharkiv) are known to many people. Not only fans of the game itself, but also other card game lovers have played it at least once.

Kharkov has a couple of main differences from the usual Moscow type:

1. In the case of two equal combinations, the card that was announced beforethis, not trump.
2. The third of a trump card (only an ace) is by no means the highest third of all that could be here.

Play to 301 points

The rules in the game up to 301 points differ from other varieties of "Deberets" in the number of points you need to score - they are not 501, but 301. Of course, many tried to experiment and achieve other final results, but still the standard rules are always were better. After all, they have long been tested and verified by other card lovers.

Short

As mentioned above, the game (cards) "Deberts" is divided into several types. In this case, the rules of the short version may seem simpler compared to its previous types.

This variation is played in the same way as the Moscow one, but there are some differences:

1. The player with the most points wins.
2. For two and three players without a canoe - it doesn't matter which of them ordered the trump suit.
3. For two and three players with a buy - the player who ordered the trump will lose the doubled bet if he scores less points than the others.
4. Any player can offer his opponent to surrender by saying the word "dave". But this proposal must be accompanied by a certain number of points. Two times in a row, one person will not be able to propose. Dave will move to the players in turn after the opponent accepts the offer.
5. Before the game there is an opportunityNegotiate an increase in the bet in order to agree on this between all players. Here you can use not only arithmetic, but also geometric progression.

With fifty dollars

This option is also popular with fans of the game "Deberts". The rules for two players in this variant will not be difficult for anyone, so you can play not only sitting at the table at home, for example, but also on a picnic.

The interest and main feature of this variety is that between the definition of a trump card and the delivery of the last three cards, one of the players has the right to offer the second to write down 50 points at once. As a result, the winner will be determined by the highest number of points scored, but the gap between the players must be exactly 250 points.

Threesome

The basic rules of the game "Deberts" three of us do not differ much from the standard ones, but there are some nuances:

1. The player who ordered this game must eventually score a little more points than the rest. If this was not possible, then the whistling players will record the buy in half, and in the opposite case, each player records only their points.
2. Announcements of points scored must be added, provided that the highest of them passes. But the playing person will be forced to interrupt their announcements, because only in this case he will record his own points.
3. When hanging cane, points will be played in the same way as in the two-player game. And after the second canoe, all hanging points should be equally distributed among allwhistlers.

Game Over

As you can see, in the game "Deberts" the rules are quite interesting and unusual. It ends only when one of the players has scored the required number of points. But he must wait for the moment when he takes the bribe, while the other player must not have time to make his move. After the very last trick in the game or when bidding, the announcement of the points scored will no longer be accepted. And if two or more players reach the required number of points at the same time, then the title of the winner will be given to the last one who took the bribe.

These are some confusing but very interesting rules of the popular card game. In the company of two or four people, cards will always be used, and "Deberts" will help not only pass the time, but also enjoy communicating with friends.
