Japanese Joker

ლამბდა გეიმსი (Japanese Joker)

The player's goal is to be the first to accumulate points (1,3,7,11 or 21) at the start of the game.

There are 36 playing cards in total, i.e., 18 pairs. Two people are playing at the table.

Initially the players are dealt 3-3 cards and one player declares a trump card. Whoever declares the trump first is settled by the principle of randomness. The player who declares the trump card also starts playing after all cards are dealt.

The trump is chosen from five possible options (cross, spades, bricks, hearts, bezel (without trump))

After selecting the trump card players are dealt an additional 15-15 cards, 3 cards are held by the player, with 5 of the 15 cards added (8 cards are dealt to the player) and 10 are on the table. 5 of the cards on the table are hidden and visible, and 5 are hidden under the cards. Cards placed on the table can only be arrived after the first card has arrived.

The points earned in each game are the difference between the card pairs between the players. For example, if one player loses 11 pairs of cards and the other player loses 7 pairs, 4 points are awarded to the first player.

Strength and benefits of the cards:

The highest cards in the game are 2-piece Joker. The Joker can cut any cards (including the second Joker). Also, the Joker can request the highest card of any suit. The second player has to either obey the request or come to the Joker himself. If the requested card is not a trump card and the other player does not have a card of the card but has a trump card, then the other player must come to the trump card and cut the Joker. If the trump card is not declared (i.e., “without trumps”), any card may be cut only by a higher card of the same suit, or by a joker if the trump card is declared, the trump card being preferred to the other suits. If the game has a “party dice” enabled, it means players can offer each other a double bet (doubling, doubling, etc., depending on which option was chosen at the beginning of the game).
