AUDIENCE: Kids to Adult

If you are interested in teaching the trick taking game mechanism, but games like Hearts, Spades, and Euchre are proving to be difficult to teach, Shooter is the perfect game for you.  The limited deck, simple ranking, and use of a trump suit make this an ideal choice for trick taking beginners. 슬롯사이트

In Shooter, each player is trying to earn points by taking tricks.  This is a free for all game, and the first player to score 32 points or more wins.

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

Shooter utilizes a twenty four card deck.  You will need the 9’s up through the Aces.  In this game, 9’s are low, and Aces are high.  In Shooter, there is also a trump suit.  The trump suit always outranks nontrump cards.

Determine who will begin as dealer.  In a four player game, each player is dealt six cards.  In a three player game, each player is dealt eight cards.  Deal cards one at a time.

It is helpful for players to organize their hands in order by suit.  

THE BID

Once all of the cards have been dealt, it is time to begin bidding.  When a player bids, they are stating how many tricks they believe they can take.  A player must bid at least three.  The maximum amount a player can bid is six.  If a player cannot bid at least three, they simply say pass.

Bidding begins with the player to the left of the dealer.  They may make a bid or say pass.  If the player bids three, the next player must bid four or more.  If they cannot bid four or more, they say pass.  If they they bid four, the next player must bid five or more and so on.

Players bid six (or eight in a three player game) a little differently.  If a player thinks they can take all of the tricks, they say, “I am shooting the moon.”   Successfully doing this will earn extra points.

The player with the highest bid determines trump.  For example, if a player bids four, and they make trump diamonds, that means they think they can take at least four tricks with diamonds being the highest suit.

Remember, if you are the highest bidder, you must take at least that many tricks.  There is a penalty for failing to do so.
