INTRODUCTION OF BLUKE

Bluke is a trick taking game which finds its origins in the United States.  This game involves trick taking, random trump suits, scoring similar to Spades, and the use of the jokers.  The best part about Bluke is that it does not require teams in order to be played, and it is enjoyable with 2, 3, or 4 players. 바카라사이트

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

Bluke uses a standard 52 card deck as well as two jokers.  In this game, jokers are called Blukes. 

This game takes place over a total of twenty five hands.  On the first hand, the dealer will give each player thirteen cards, twelve cards on the second hand, eleven cards on the third hand and so on all the way down to a single card hand.  Then, the deals work their way back up with two cards, then three, then four and so on.  The final deal will have each player receiving thirteen cards again.

To decide who deals first, have each player draw a single card from the deck.  Whoever draws the highest card goes first.  Whoever draws the lowest card must be the scorekeeper for the whole game.  The score keeper is responsible for keeping track of which deal it is, each player’s bids, and the score.

Now that the first dealer and the scorekeeper has been decided, it is time to deal out the cards.  The dealer should shuffle the cards thoroughly and deal out the correct number of cards one at a time to each player.

DETERMINING TRUMP

The remaining cards are then offered to the player left of the dealer.  They may either cut the deck or tap the top card.  Tapping the top card signals that they do not want to cut.  The dealer flips over the top card, and it’s suit becomes the trump suit for the hand.  If a Bluke is turned up, there is no trump suit for the hand.

As with most trick taking games that involve a trump suit, the suit that becomes trump is the highest ranking set of cards for the hand (aside from the jokers).  For example, if hearts become trump then the 2 of hearts is higher than any other suit’s ace.  The only cards that rank higher than the trump suited cards are the two jokers.

BIDDING

Once the cards have been dealt, and the trump suit has been determined, it is time for each player to make a bid.  The player to the left of the dealer bids first. Continuing left, each player will make a bid ranging from one to the total number of cards dealt.  The bid is how many tricks that player believes they can take.  Players do not have to overbid each other.  It is possible for more than one player to have the same bid.

The scorekeeper should write down each player’s bid for the round.
