Speculation
What makes Poker so special? What makes it different from a lot of card games? Many things could start to bluff or bluff, but it also exists in games like Trick (which is very good indeed), but the truth is that poker is distinguished by not playing for points but for the money that is visible to everyone. To use your poker chips in another way or simply as a game to relieve the tension of a poker game that the game would Speculation, which in English: Speculation. History: Speculation is a gambling game that was popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, then lost.
RULES
Number of players: 3 to 8 seems possible, however shorthanded games may be less interesting.
Objective: To have the highest trump card when all cards in play have been revealed. Preliminary
: Players agree on whether all begin with a number of chips (poker), or whether to allow her to buy tokens as the game progresses. Whatever they decide will set a time limit game.
Setting up the game: The dealer put a stop 6 tokens. Other players put a stop of 4 chips. The dealer gives each player three cards face down. After an extra card is dealt face up, this card determines the trump suit. This letter belongs to the dealer
Game: If the trump card shown was an ace, the dealer wins immediately. Otherwise, the dealer decides between staying with the letter or sell to another player. Play passes to the left. If the card was purchased, the game moves to the left of the buyer. Each player in turn reveals a card. If the letter is revealed that the highest triumph in sight, he can sell it or keep it.
Whoever has the highest trump card takes a turn not revealing his cards unless all other cards have been revealed. VARIANTS
Buying hole cards: The cards are placed face down in a stack (one above the other). At any time besides trying to buy the highest visible Triumph players can try to buy cards face down on the other players. If you buy a card face down the buyer does not see his face but he puts down his stack of cards without revealing and disclosed as required by the game.
Jacks and Fives: Any player who reveals a J or 5 places a tile on the boat.
Dead Man's Hand: After finishing the round, before picking up the boat, an extra hand is dealt three cards showing. If this hand has a higher Triumph the pot is left to the next round.
Stops: David Parlett in their interpretation tells us that the game stops for all players is 1 tab. This was very confusing, what incentive would have to buy a boat so small? Taking into account this kind of game I own some variations.
OWN VERSION: Ambitious
Jokers Jokers Place 2 to the deck. If a Joker is dealt instead of the letter that determines the victory all the players increase 2 to stop and the dealer increases 1. Joker is discarded and another card is dealt to determine the trump suit. If a Joker is revealed in the middle of the game the player may discard the Joker, and reveal another card in the normal way in the next turn, or you can buy a card from the deck by 1 chip.
