House rules

Every house rule you can play today, and the ones we plan to add.

In the game

Card Play

  • Sequence

    Play 3 or 4 consecutive cards of any suit together.

    • On a Sequence, you can only play a Sequence of the same length in which every card is stronger (the weakest card just has to beat the weakest card on the table; the ranks may overlap).
    • 2 and 3 are not consecutive (A-2-3 is not a Sequence; K-A-2 is).
    • Jokers can fill in. If a Joker could stand for more than one rank, the Sequence is played as the weakest one that still beats the table.

  • Spade-3 Return

    When a single Joker is on the table, you can beat it with the 3 of Spades.

    • Works even while a Binding is in effect.
    • The trick is not cleared. The next player must play a card stronger than the 3 of Spades.

  • Sandstorm

    While there are cards on the table, three 3s can be played at any time.

    • Can be played regardless of how many cards are on the table or how strong they are.
    • Can be played during a Binding, and ends the Binding.
    • With a Joker mixed in, or when leading, they count as an ordinary set of three 3s.
    • The trick is not cleared. The next player must play a stronger set of three cards.

  • Binding

    If you follow with the same suit, or with a rank one step stronger, a Binding takes effect. Until the trick is cleared, only cards that meet that condition can be played.

    Suit Binding: Takes effect when you play the same suit as the previous card. From then on, play that suit.

    Number Binding: Takes effect when you play a rank one step stronger than the previous card. From then on, keep playing a rank one step stronger than the previous card.

    • "One step stronger" follows the current strength order (during a Revolution, 3 comes after 4; if New Order starts the order from Q, 3 comes after 2).
    • If a Joker is played on a 2, the Binding still continues.

    Strict Binding: Suit Binding and Number Binding at the same time.

    Jokers: In a pair or larger set, a Joker always counts as the same rank as the cards played with it. During a Binding, it can be played as whatever suit or rank the Binding requires. A Joker played when no Binding is in effect has no suit, so it cannot start a Suit Binding.

    Multiple Cards: Choose how Binding works when several cards of the same rank are played.

    • Partial: Takes effect if some of the cards match; from then on, include the matching suits.
    • Full: Takes effect only if every card matches.
    • None: Takes effect only when single cards are played.

    Sequences are never bound.

Turn Change

  • 8 Cut

    Playing only 8s (a single or a set) clears the trick, and you lead the next trick.

    • Does not activate with a Joker mixed in, or with 8s in a Sequence.
    • The 8s must still beat the cards on the table.
    • If the 8s were your last cards, the next player leads.

  • 66 Cut

    An option of 8 Cut

    Playing a pair of 6s clears the trick like 8 Cut, and you lead the next trick.

    • Does not activate with a Joker mixed in, or with three or more 6s.

  • 99 Cut

    An option of 8 Cut

    Playing a pair of 9s clears the trick like 8 Cut, and you lead the next trick.

    • Does not activate with a Joker mixed in, or with three or more 9s.
    • With 9 Reverse also enabled, the turn order is reversed as well.

  • 4 Stop

    Right after 8 Cut, 66 Cut or 99 Cut clears the trick, you can play a pair of 4s to clear the trick again and lead the next one.

    • The player who cut cannot use it.
    • A pair of 4s with a Joker mixed in cannot be played.
    • Play waits until everyone holding a pair of 4s chooses to play them or pass.
    • If several play, the one closest in turn order to the player who cut leads (in the reversed order if 99 Cut with 9 Reverse reversed it). If no one plays, the player who cut leads.

  • 5 Skip

    Playing 5s skips the turns of as many following players as the number of 5s played.

    • With a Joker mixed in, only the 5s count.
    • 5s in a Sequence do not activate it.
    • Skipped players are not treated as having passed.
    • If the turn comes back to you, the trick is not cleared; beat your own cards or pass.
    • If you play at least as many 5s as players still in the round, you count as skipped too and the skipping goes around again.

  • 9 Reverse

    Playing only 9s reverses the turn order.

    • Does not activate with a Joker mixed in, or with 9s in a Sequence.
    • Playing several 9s reverses the order only once.
    • The reversed order lasts even after the trick is cleared, until the next round.

Strength Change

  • Revolution

    Playing four or more cards of the same rank reverses the card strength order.

    • Jokers may be mixed in (five or six cards also count).
    • The reversed order lasts until the end of the round. Another Revolution restores it.
    • With New Order also enabled, four cards of all four suits plus one Joker trigger New Order instead.
    • A Revolution during J Back ends the J Back, and the order in effect at that moment stays.

  • Triple-7 Revolution

    An option of Revolution

    Playing three 7s reverses the card strength order, just like Revolution.

    • Does not activate with a Joker mixed in.

  • Coup d'état

    An option of Revolution

    Playing three 9s reverses the card strength order, just like Revolution.

    • Does not activate with a Joker mixed in.

  • Sequence Revolution

    An option of Revolution

    Playing a 4-card Sequence reverses the card strength order, just like Revolution.

    • Jokers may be mixed in.
    • A 3-card Sequence does not activate it.

  • New Order

    Play four cards of the same rank in all four suits plus one Joker to re-rank all cards starting from that rank.

    • In the normal direction, that rank becomes the weakest (during a Revolution, the strongest).
    • Exactly one Joker is required; two Jokers do not activate it.
    • The strength direction does not change, and the effect lasts until the end of the round.
    • If a Revolution (including Great Revolution) or J Back happens during this effect, the starting rank stays and only the direction reverses.

  • J Back

    Playing Js temporarily reverses the card strength order until the trick is cleared.

    • With a Joker mixed in, it activates as long as there is at least one J.
    • Js in a Sequence do not activate it.
    • During a Revolution, the normal order returns until the trick is cleared.
    • If Revolution or New Order is enabled and the cards form that combination, only that rule activates.

  • Enhanced J Back

    An option of J Back

    Playing a set with two or more Js temporarily reverses the card strength order until the trick is cleared twice.

    • Jokers do not count; at least two Js are needed.
    • If another J Back happens while reversed, the direction stays and the count restarts from the new one (once for J Back, twice for Enhanced J Back).
    • If a Revolution happens while reversed, the J Back ends and the order in effect at that moment stays. If New Order happens, its effect applies and the temporary reversal continues.

Card Exchange

  • 7 Transfer

    Play 7s to pass up to that many cards from your hand to the next player.

    • With a Joker mixed in, only the 7s count.
    • 7s in a Sequence do not activate it.
    • You may choose to pass nothing.

    • With a Joker mixed in, only the Qs count.
    • Qs in a Sequence do not activate it.
    • You may choose to name nothing.

  • DEATH

    Play three 4s to make every other player discard their strongest card.
