Cards 325 is a very simple and interesting cards game, played by three people.
Cards : 8 onwards for all suits + heart 7 + Spade 7 = 30 in all
Basic game: its like Bridge, just that there are 3 players instead of four and all play individually. There are a total of 3+2+5 = 10 tricks. On each trick, the highest of the led suit wins unless it is trumped.
Rules:
1) Each player becomes the dealer one by one
2) The dealer has to make 2 tricks, the next person 5 (and he gets to choose the Trump), and the third 3.
3) How to deal the cards- first distribute a set of 5 cards to each. The person next to the dealer looks at his cards and chooses a trump suit. Then the cards are dealt in sets of 5 again.
4) First lead is by the player setting the trump, subsequent ones are by the one who wins the trick
5) In the end if someone makes more than what is required of him (like the dealer makes 4 instead of 2). Then he is allowed to 'pick' a card each for the extra tricks in the next round. i.e. if p1 (dealer) makes 4 and p2 makes 2 (instead of 3) and p3 makes 4 (instead of 5), then p1 has the option of pulling one card each from the cards of p2 and p3 in the next round. And in return he can give back any of his unwanted (small) cards as replacement.
Points : If a player makes some extra tricks then the total points awarded are (tricks required to make) + (extra tricks made)/10, But if a player is not able to make the required number of tricks then the player receives negative points (tricks required to make)/10.
Each game has nine rounds. After each round, you are provided with the scores table and after all the rounds are completed, the winner is declared.
Although commonly played as a children's game, it is also great fun for players of any age.
Enjoy playing.
