Game rules in «Up and Down»
32 or 52 cards deck is used in the game, from two to six players.
One card is given in the first dealing then two cards in the second dealing then three ones and so on. Then the number of the dealt cards starts to decrease gradually to one.
The trump is announced in every deal in a random way. The right of the first announcing of the tricks quantity in the current dealing passes on a circle.
Each player must name the tricks quantity which he is obliged to take in a concrete dealing. It is possible to announce «0 tricks». A player who is the last to take the game action can not order such quantity of tricks which would be equal to the cards number at hand equal to the sum of other players’ orders.
After making an order the game starts. The cards ranking is from an Ace to seven (twos). Trick rules are usual: if there is no suit it is necessary to place a trump.
Points counting after the dealing end if the number of tricks:
| Coincided with the order |
More than order |
Less than order |
Ordered 0 and 0 tricks taken |
| 1. Complete responsibility |
2. Partial responsibility |
| 10*quantity of tricks |
1 point for each trick |
-10*quantity of tricks; |
-10* ordered tricks - taken tricks; |
5 points. |
After all dealings are played the points counting starts.
An example of the calculation in the game of 4 players:
| Quantity of the gained points: |
Calculation: |
Player 1:-10 points;
Player 2: 20 points;
Player 3: 40 points;
Player 4: 30 points |
Player 1: (-10 - 20) + (-10 - 40) + (-10 - 30) =-120 points;
Player 2: (20 - (-10)) + (20 - 40) + (20 - 30) = 0 points;
Player 3: (40 - (-10)) + (40 - 20) + (40 - 30) = 80 points;
Player 4: (30 - (-10)) + (30 - 20) + (30 - 40) = 40 points. |
The limit in «Up&Down» (financial responsibility)
The game goes on with the preliminary agreed stake for a point and preliminary agreed limit.
If the player’s loss reaches the size of the agreed limit*stake then the game ends and the calculation starts.
Disconnection
When disconnection a player can come back within 3 minutes. Then it is possible to substitute the player.
Within the first five minutes only player’s friends can substitute him (blue square near the nickname) and further any players except players from the black list (red square near the nickname).
The substitution is financially irresponsible i.e. the substituting player does not bear financial responsibility for the game result.
There is no arbitration in «Up&Down» game.
