Haggis

Jack, Qeen, King – bomb!

In a trick-taking game you want to get rid of all cards first, score for this and at the same time collect point cards in your trick and score for filled bids.

There are cards of values 2 to 10 in five colors, and 3 Jacks, 3 Queens and 3 Kings. You play several rounds. At the start of each round one Jack, one Queen and one King are laid out openly as wild cards. 14 of the remaining cards are dealt to each player, the rest is set aside as Haggis and not looked at. Now you can place bids that you will be the first to go out meaning being out of cards. You lead with a combination of cards – groups from 1 to 8 cards, a series of number cards, also possible with multiple cards, e.g. 2-2-3-3-4-4, or a bomb made up from special cards. In turn players can answer this with the same combination of higher value and thus take the trick or pass. Bombs can only be tricked with bombs of higher value. Values of bombs are in ascending order: 3-4-5-9 with each card in another color without joker, B-D, B-K, D-K, J-Q-K, 3-5-7-9 in one color without a joker. Jack, Queen and King can be used as a joker for any other card or in groups and series in their proper place. If only one player has cards left on hand the one who went out first receives those cards and the Haggis. Then remaining cards, tricks and bids are scored. If you are the first to reach or top the pre-set score you win.

Reminds one of Tichu, reminds one of Rommé, reminds one of Karrierepoker, but is an independent, fast and challenging card game, which is of special interest due to the number of players.
