The card game "Thousand" is called so because the one who scored 1000 points wins. It can be played by two, three or four. The rules do not change, but there are differences when dealing with cards.
The rules of the game "Thousand"
This game belongs to the category of preference. It is similar to "poker". She will need 24 cards - from nine, then an ace inclusive. Each of them has a certain denomination of points:
- 9 – 0;
- 10 - 10 points;
- jack - 2;
- lady - 3;
- king - 4;
- ace - 11 points.
In addition, it is important to know the rule of scoring for a combination (mariage) consisting of a king and a queen. Their number depends on what kind of suit this pair is. If the king of spades and the queen have fallen, then the player teaches 40 points. The tambourine option is worth 80; the club of clubs enriches the player by 60; and hearts - by 100 points. An Ace Marriage (4 Aces) is worth 200 points.
"Thousand" for two
If there are two players, then several layouts are possible.
First way:
10 cards are dealt to each player "Thousand for two", and 4 cards are laid out in two - the picture must "look" down and be invisible to the players. When the "bidding" begins, the winner is the one who named the most points, which he undertakes to take.
After that, he takes 2 cards for himself from one pile and folds 2 of his unnecessary ones into the second pile. If, in the process of a card game, he manages to score the number of points that he announced or even more, then the announced number of points is recorded for this player. If he scored fewer points, then he writes down the number of points that was not reached before the announced one. The second one writes to himself the points that he was able to earn on his bribes and margins.
Second way:
In a three-player game, 21 cards are dealt - 7 for each, and 3 - go into a separate pile, called the buy-in. When playing together, I act in almost the same way. Cards are dealt for three, the other 3 - establish the buy, but the third pile is not played, but only two.
Third way:
Cards are dealt to two players without buy-in. It is necessary in the course of the game, by analogy with the "Fool", to pick up cards from the remaining common deck.
Game progress
After the cards are dealt, and if there is a buy-in, then bidding for it begins. They are won by the one who announced the most points, which he undertakes to score, the rest say “pass”.
The maximum bet can be equal to 300 points. It is made up of the sum of all cards (120) and points for marriages.
As mentioned above, the winner of the auction can further rule the game, he takes the buy-in. If, having seen him, he realizes that he will not be able to score the indicated number of points, then he can say about this and receive a fine equal to the rate announced by him. The opponent is given 60 points.
After any of the players has taken the first bet, on the second and subsequent moves, he can declare a margin. He gets the number of points for this combination and the right to name the trump card.
During a two-player game, players take turns placing one card. The one who has the highest of these cards or the trump card takes them. Now it's his turn.
When the number of points for one player reaches 880, then he "sits on the barrel." He is given 3 rounds so that he can score more than 120 points in one of them, then he will win. If he failed in 3 games, then he is penalized by 120 points, and he "flies" from the barrel.
These are the basic rules for playing cards "1000 for two". There are games where, in addition to cards, dice are used.
