Welcome to the Exciting World of BRUS!

Let me tell you about Brus, a fun and strategic card game. It’s a game that you play in teams, adding an extra layer of excitement and teamwork. In Brus, the teams are randomly selected by drawing cards to see who gets the highest one. The team that wins the most tricks and scores the most points wins the game, becoming the ultimate champions!

Getting Started: The Setup

Now, before we jump into the action, we need to set up the playing deck. It’s a simple process – we just need to remove some cards. Take out all the twos, threes, fours, and fives from the regular deck. Once we’ve done that, we’ll be left with a special 36-card deck that’s perfect for Brus. Trust me, it’s worth it!

Next, we have to determine who’s playing on which team. To make it fair, everyone gets a chance. All players will draw a single card from the shuffled deck. The two players who draw the highest cards will form one partnership, while the player with the highest card becomes the first dealer. On the other hand, the two players who draw the lowest cards will form the other partnership. Exciting, right?

Alright, let’s get this card game started! I’m going to deal nine cards to each player, going around the group in a clockwise direction. The player to the left of me will go first. Time to kick off the fun!

Let the Games Begin!

When it’s your turn, you have a few options. You can choose to lead with a special trick card, play a card that is eligible to be played, or simply pass. If you happen to have one or more 7s, you’re in luck! Those cards are unbeatable, so you can set them aside and take control of the next trick. But remember, playing an eligible card to the trick will bring your turn to an end.

Every player will have a chance to play a card to the trick. You can only play one card, and it has to have a higher rank than the card that was played before yours. If you don’t have a higher-ranked card, no worries! You can always pass and leave the opportunity for others. At the end of the trick, the player who played the highest card wins. Exciting, right?

When you play this card game, the goal is to win tricks by playing cards. The game continues until one team wins six tricks or there are no more playable cards left to play. If your team wins six tricks, you score one point. But if your team is able to win all six tricks, then you score two points. Sounds simple, right?

Now, what happens if there are no more playable cards? Well, in that case, the team that holds the King of Clubs wins and earns one point. So keep an eye out for that King!

After a certain number of hands have been played, the game comes to an end. At that point, the winner is determined by which team has the most points. So make sure to strategize and play your cards wisely!

Now let’s talk about the different types of cards in the game:

Playable Cards: These are the cards that you can use to try and win tricks. They include the Jack of Clubs, 8 of Spades, King of Hearts, all 9s (ranked by suit: Clubs, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds), Aces, Jack of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, and 6s. Remember, these are the cards you want to play to gain an advantage!

Trick Cards: These cards are special. They are the 7s, and they have a special role in the game. Keep an eye out for them and use them wisely to your advantage!

Unplayable Cards: These are the cards that you can’t use to win tricks. They include the 8 of Clubs, 8 of Diamonds, 8 of Spades, 10s, Queens, King of Clubs, King of Spades, and King of Diamonds. Don’t waste your time trying to play these cards!

So, what happens at the end of the game?

Well, after you’ve played the agreed number of hands, it’s time to see who comes out on top. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner! So make sure to keep track of those points and aim for victory!
