Trick Taking Game
Monster Taking is a "1 vs 1" Trick-Taking Game for 2 players.
Player's aim to win by capturing cards from their opponent's hands.
The player who wins 2 out of 3 games wins.
・30 game cards (1-10Ignis,1-10Aqua ,1-10Sylva)
・Reference card (×2)
1.Shuffle the 30 game cards.
2.Select one player to be the LEAD for the first round.
(i.e. LEAD is playing the first card of the trick)
3.That player deals each player a HAND of 13 cards.
4.Set the remaining cards a side, face down, to from the DECK.
This round doesn't use DECK.
★Define Suit Strength
1.The LEAD player then chooses 1 card from the hand, face up on the table.
2.The other player chooses 1 card from the hand, face up on the table.
The LEAD player then chooses 1 card and the other player chooses 1 card must be different suits.
3.Compare the ranks of the cards on the table. The card with the higher rank becomes the Highest suits, and the lower rank becomes the Middle suits.
4.The last suits will automatically become the Lowest suits.
※If cards of the same rank are played, the card played first becomes the trump suit.
(So through steps 1, 2, and 3, each player uses one of their 13 hand cards to determine the suit strength. Then when the actual game begins, each player will have 12 cards remaining in their hand.)
Each round consists of a series of any turns for each player, called tricks. Every trick, both players will play one card from their hand face up into the middle: one player will LEAD (that is, play the first card of the trick), and the other player will then FOLLOW (that is, play the second card of the trick).
Based on the two cards that are played, one player will be said to win the trick.
The winner of the trick becomes the LEAD player for the next trick.
1.The leader can choose to play any card from their hand, without restriction. The suit of that card is known as the lead suit for the trick.
2.After one player leads, the other player now must play a card that (if possible) matches the lead suit; that card can be (unless specified otherwise) of any rank in that suit. If the follower does not have a card in the lead suit, they may play any card without restriction.
★If both players play the same suit
The player who plays the higher-ranked card wins.
★If the two cards are of different suits
The player who plays the card of the stronger suit wins.
★In summary
Same Suit: Higher-ranked card wins.
Different Suits: Card of the stronger suit wins.
★If both players play the same suit
The player who loses the trick must choose cards from their hand totaling the absolute difference of the dots shown on the two cards and give them to the opponent.
★If the two cards are of different suits
The player who loses the trick must choose cards from their hand totaling the absolute dot difference and discard them face down without revealing them to the opponent.
A player loses immediately when they have no cards left in their hand.
(If a player plays their last card and wins the trick, they may gain cards, so the game does not end yet.)
If both players have no cards at the same time, the player with more trick wins is the winner. If tied, the victory is shared.
Each card has a certain number of dots assigned to it, which are used to calculate the difference in tricks.
The dot values are as follows:
Cards numbered 1 and 6 have 4 dots.
Cards numbered 2 and 7 have 3 dots.
Cards numbered 3 and 8 have 2 dots.
Cards numbered 4 and 9 have 1 dot.
Cards numbered 5 and 10 have 0 dots.
