OVERVIEW OF LA PODRIDA 

La Podrida is a trick-taking cards game for 3 to 7 players. The goal is the bid for the exact number of tricks one believes they will make. Taking more or fewer tricks is a loss.   바카라사이트

Players should determine before the game begins what target score, they will play to.  

SETUP 

The first dealer is chosen at random. The deal passes clockwise. 

The cards are shuffled and dealt to each player one at a time until each has the appropriate amount according to the number of players. The following card is flipped face-up, the suit of that card is the trump suit for that hand. This suit will beat all others. The remaining cards are left in a stack with the trump card on top. 

La Podrida is played with a series of hands. The number of cards played with in the first hand depends on the number of players: 

  • 3-5 Players, 10 cards each 
  • 6 Players, 8 cards each 
  • 7 Players, 7 cards each 

Each hand is played with one less card than the previous one until there is a one-card hand. Cards are then added one at a time until the card amount of the initial hand is met. For example, in a hand of 8 cards, the series is as follows: 8 cards, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. This gives a total of 15 hands per game. 

Card Ranking  

The ranking for La Podrida is traditional. Ace (high), King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 (low).  

BIDDING 

Each bidding starts with the player to the left of the dealer and moves clockwise back to the dealer, who bids last. Each player bids a number which indicates the number of tricks they predicate they will take with that hand. All players must bid; however, players may bid zero. If a player bids zero, they plan to take zero tricks. Players may change their bid if the opponent to their left has not yet bid. There is a hook, the dealer is not allowed to bid the number that would cause the total amount of tricks bid to be equal to the number of total tricks available. A hand shall always be and over or underbid. The dealer can change their bid until the first card is played.

ROOK FOR TWO

  ROOK FOR TWO OBJECTIVE OF ROOK FOR TWO:   Be the first player to 150 points or more NUMBER OF PLAYERS:  2 players NUMBER OF CARDS:  44 Rook playing cards RANK OF CARDS:   (low) 4 – 14 (high) TYPE OF GAME:  Trick taking AUDIENCE:  Adults INTRODUCTION OF ROOK FOR TWO Rook for Two uses the 1914 publishing of the rules as its source.  George S. Parker (of the Parker Bros.) wrote the rules himself.  One interesting thing to note is that the Rook card was not used in the standard rules for this game.  The instructions here on GameRules will hold true to the original 1914 publication by not including the Rook card. It should also be noted that this rendition plays differently than the modern day 2 player variation included in Hasbro’s instructions for the game. THE CARDS & THE DEAL  Remove the 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and the Rook card to form a 44 card deck.  Draw cards to determine the first dealer for the game.  This game incorporates what is called a Dummy hand.  The Dummy will always be dealt
