INTRODUCTION OF DUCK SOUP

Duck Soup is a two player trick taking game designed by David Parlett.  This game can be broken down into two phases.  The first of which is played with a starting hand of 13 cards and a draw pile.  The second phase begins as soon as the draw pile runs out of cards.  This phase is played with the remaining 13 cards in each player’s hand.  The Ace switches from being the lowest card to the highest in the second phase.  Scoring occurs after each phase, and the points earned are multiplied for a final total round score. 크레이지슬롯

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

 Duck Soup uses a 52 card deck.  Shuffle and deal 13 cards to each player.  The rest of the deck forms a draw pile.  Remember, in the first phase, Aces are low.  In the second phase, they become the highest ranking card.

Deal alternates each round.

THE PLAY

FIRST TRICK

The non-dealer leads the first trick.  They play any card from their hand.  The opposite player can play any card from their hand.  They do not need to follow suit.  During Phase 1, the lowest card in the suit that was led takes the trick (Aces are low).  

The trick-winner captures the trick and draws from the draw pile.  The opposite player then draws as well.  The trick-winner leads the next trick.

CONTINUING PLAY

Play continues until the draw pile runs out of cards.  This ends Phase 1. 

PHASE 2

Phase 2 begins once the draw pile is gone.  Each player will have their final 13 cards in hand.  The player that took the previous trick leads the first in Phase 2.  In this phase, the highest card in the suit that was led takes the trick, and Aces are now high.  Again, the following player does not have to follow suit.  The round ends once all the cards have been played.

COLLECTING TRICKS

If a player captures a trick that has two cards of the same suit, that trick is stored face down.  If the captured trick has two cards of different suits, that trick is stored face up.  These tricks have different values.
