How to play Chest

The game involves a lot of communication between rivals. The rules are somewhat reminiscent of "I believe - I do not believe" and are very easy to understand. You can play "Chest" with a deck of 36 or 52 cards. Each opponent in the initial round is entitled to 4 pieces.

First, the company must choose a distributor. In the following rounds, this right passes to other participants in a clockwise direction. The first move is made by the player to the left or right of the dealer. Before the distribution of cards must be decided. whether the opponents open the collected chests immediately or keep them in their hands throughout the game. Also, before playing the "Chest", you need to choose who is allowed to ask questions to the walker: any participant of your choice, or only the opponent sitting on the right or left.

The course of fun can be described as follows:

1. The cards are shuffled and distributed to all participants in 4 pieces. The moves are made clockwise. The remaining deck lies face down in the center.
2. The dealer's neighbor has the right to be the first to ask questions to the opponents. For example, for a chest set, the player lacks the queens of spades and queens of diamonds. The questioner asks the following questions in turn: "Do you have a lady?", "Do you have one lady?", "Is this the queen of spades?" Questions are asked one at a time, an affirmative answer makes it possible to continue the questioning. Negative means loss of the right to move. Plus, you need to draw one card from the deck as a penalty. But there are also controversial situations. For example, if a player guesses only half the truth, for example, only one suit out of two, then he takes the won card for himself and takes one penalty.
3. The game continues until the deck runs out.

This is where the rules end - enjoy the game!

• First, all players receive 4 cards by dealing one card around the circle. Now, each player takes turns asking his opponents special questions.
• If the answer to the question is positive (the player has guessed the opponent's cards), he takes the guessed cards for himself. In the basic rules, the question is asked to the player on the left (clockwise), but there are options when the question can be asked to any opponent.
• Cards are guessed according to certain properties, therefore, the following types of questions are distinguished:
  • the opponent has cards of a certain value (for example, eights, kings, queens, etc.);
  • how many cards of the guessed value the player has (the answer can be a number from 1 to 3);
  • what suits of the guessed number of cards are in the hands of the opponent (they must be listed according to the number of cards guessed). A number of varieties of rules allow you to ask the colors of the cards before guessing the suit.
• Questions are asked one by one in the order they are listed in the rules. With each positive answer, the player asks the next question. If the answer to the last question is positive, then the player who asked it takes away the guessed cards from the opponent and starts asking questions again from the beginning.
• If the answer is negative to any of questions asked, the player who asked the question must draw one card from the deck. In this case, the turn passes to the other player in a clockwise direction.
• The player may run out of cards in his hand. Then he takes a card from the deck. Having collected the “chest” in his hands, the player needs to lay them out (remove from his hand). The assembled "chest" is shown only by agreement of the players.
