FROG

Hey there, let me tell you about a fun card game called Frog! It’s a game for 3 players where you get to take tricks. It’s pretty similar to Crazy Solo, but there are some differences in how you set up, bid, and score.

The whole point of the game is to score as high as you can in each round and make the other players pay up. How do you do that? Well, by winning tricks and having high-scoring cards in your hand.

Now, when it comes to ending the game, that’s completely up to you and the other players. You could set a specific time or number of rounds, choose a target score, or simply stop playing when you’ve had enough. It’s all about having fun!

SETUP AND BIDDING

Okay, let’s get into the setup and bidding part. First things first, you’ll need to make some changes to the deck. Take out all the cards that are 5s and below. That means no more 5s, 4s, 3s, 2s, or 1s. What’s left are the Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks, 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s, and 6s. Got it?

Hey there! Let me walk you through the exciting world of modified deck card games. It’s a fun way to spend time with friends and family. So, here’s how it goes:

First things first, we need to choose a dealer. It’s totally random, so everyone has a fair shot. The dealer will change with each new round. The cards will then be shuffled, and the dealer will start dealing 10 cards to each player, starting from their left. Cool, right? But here’s the twist – the dealing is done in batches of 4 and then two batches of 3 cards. Oh, and don’t forget about the 3 cards that are dealt facedown in the center of the table. We call that the “widow”.

Now that everyone has their hands full of cards, it’s time for the bidding to begin. This is where things get really interesting. The bidding will determine who gets to play against whom. The player to the left of the dealer kicks things off. Each player gets to make only one bid on their turn. And here’s the rule – if the previous player made a bid, you have to increase it if you want to stay in the game. But if you can’t or don’t want to beat the previous bid, you can pass.

Now, let’s talk about the different kinds of bids. They are ranked from lowest to highest. The lowest bid is pass, followed by Frog, Chico, and Grand, which is the highest bid you can make. Exciting stuff, right?

When it’s time to play Frog, a fun card game, there are three different ways to bid: Frog, Chico, and Grand.

If you choose Frog, you will get to exchange cards with the widow, and hearts will be the trump suit. Chico lets you call trumps but not exchange cards. And if you go for Grand, you won’t use the widow, and hearts will automatically become the trump suit.

If you happen to be the winning bidder, you’ll have the opportunity to exchange cards from the widow, if you can. You can take any three cards from your hand and replace them with three cards from the widow. These three cards from the widow will count towards your score at the end of the game, even if you decide not to exchange.

For Chico bids, the player calls trumps before the game starts.

Card Ranking and Values

Now let’s talk about the ranking and values of the cards. The highest card is the Ace, followed by 10, King, Queen, Jack, 9, 8, and 7. The lowest ranked card is 6.

Each card also has a point value. In order from highest to lowest, the values are as follows: the Ace is worth 11 points, 10 is worth 10 points, King is worth 4 points, Queen is worth 3 points, Jack is worth 2 points, and 9, 8, 7, and 6 are all worth 0 points.

In a game of cards, each round is valued at 120 points. Victory in a round is achieved by scoring at least 61 points.

How to Play

When playing this game, we follow a clockwise order, starting with the player to the left of the dealer. The player can choose any card to start the game. After that, the other players must follow the same suit if they have a card. If they don’t have a card of the same suit, they can choose to play a trump card. And if they don’t have a trump card either, they can play any card. The interesting part is that there’s no requirement to win tricks. The person who wins the trick gets to lead the next round.

Scoring System

Scoring can be done by using paper or chips. At the beginning of the game, each player starts with 150 points.

When you play the card game, Payouts, the amount of points you earn determines how much you win or lose. It’s all based on the bid you called and the score you achieve. Let me break it down for you:

First, let’s talk about the score you make. If you make 60 or more points, you get a frog bid. The score you earn from each player is the difference between your score and 60. For example, if you earn 80 points in a round, you would get 20 frog points from each player.

Now, let’s say you win by scoring more than 61 points. In that case, the other players have to pay you the number of points they earned from their scores. So, if you called a frog bid and earned 80 points, you would receive 40 points – 20 from each player.

However, if you score less than 60 points, things change. You have to pay the other players the same number of points they would have earned. For instance, if you only score 40 points, you would have to pay each player 20 points for a frog bid, resulting in a loss of 40 points for you.

If you score 60, it’s a tie and nobody gains or loses points.

GAME OVER

The game ends when you decide to stop playing or when you reach a target that was set before the game.
