OVERVIEW OF DOPPELKOPF

Doppelkopf is a 4-player trick-taking card game. It is played over a series of rounds that should be determined before the game begins. Players will play in different partnerships determined through the bidding of each round. 

The goal of the game is to score game points, but to do this players must first score enough points in a round to earn them. Points in the round are scored by winning tricks and scoring them based on the cards in them. Certain thresholds will need to be met to score game points and these differ depending on the partnership you are apart of and the announcements and bidding made during the game.   슬롯사이트

SETUP 

First, the decks must be modified. Each deck will have the 8 and lower cards removed. This leaves in total for the whole deck, two of each card of suit and rank for the Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks, 10, and 9s. 

The first dealer is chosen at random. The dealer will pass to the left for each new round. The dealer shuffles the cards and the player to their right should cut the deck. Then each player receives three cards at a time, clockwise, until all cards are dealt out.  

Cards Ranking and Values

For most rounds played the deck follows the following rankings. The cards rank separately for each suit and the suits also have a ranking. The trump suit is the highest-ranked suit and is ranked 10 of hearts (high), Queen of clubs, Queen of spades, Queen of hearts, queen of diamonds, jack of clubs, Jack of spades, Jack of hearts, Jack of diamonds, Ace of diamonds, 10 of diamonds, King of diamonds, and 9 of diamonds (low). The next ranked suit is the clubs and it contains the Ace of clubs (high), 10 of clubs, King of clubs and 9 of clubs (low). The next ranked suit is spades and contains the Ace of spades (high), 10 of spades, King of spades, and 9 of spades (low). The lowest-ranked suit is hearts and contains the Ace of hearts (high), King of hearts, and 9 of hearts (low). 

The cards also have values attached to them. All aces are worth 11 points. 10s are worth 10 points. Kings are worth 4 points. Queens are worth 3 points. Jacks are worth 2 points, and all other cards hold no point values. This means there are 240 points obtainable each round. 

BIDDING

Once hands are dealt players enter a round of bidding. It starts with the player to the dealers left. Each player may either bid for a normal (“healthy”) game or a modified (“reservation”) game. if all players say normal then a traditional round of Doppelkopf is played.

If, however, one or more players call for a modified game each player gets another turn to declare which kind of game they wish to play. They are ranked Marriage, Poverty, and solo from lowest to highest. The player who bids for the highest game type first wins the bid. 

TYPES OF GAMES

There are four different types of games: Normal, Marriage, Poverty, and solo. They all have differences and determine partnerships differently.

Normal

For normal games, the partners are determined by the players who hold the two queens of clubs. These two, or one, players are on a team and the remaining players are against them. Players do not share this information and players may not know who is on their team till later in the round if at all. When a single player has the two queens of clubs then this is also called a silent solo. 

Marriage

Usually, if a player holds both the Queens of clubs, they will try to get a marriage called. In this type of game, it is played nearly identically to a normal game except the partner of the winning bidder is the first player, other than the bidder to win one of the first three tricks. if no other player wins one of the first three tricks, the bidder plays alone.

Poverty

A player with fewer than three trumps can call for a game of poverty. If successful, this bidder will place three cards on the table. Then eac
