One hundred – learn to play with

By: Dennis B. B. Taylor

ONE HUNDRED

Hey there! Are you ready to play One Hundred? It’s a really fun card game that you can play with 3 to 6 players. The goal of the game is simple – be the last player standing!

If you have 7 or more players, don’t worry! You’ll just need two decks of cards.

SETUP

So, here’s how we get started. We need to choose a dealer, and they will be in charge of shuffling the deck. Each player will also get 3 chips to use during the game. Now, here’s the catch – when you lose all your chips, you’re out of the game.

Once everyone is ready, each player will be dealt 3 cards. The rest of the deck is placed face down to create a stockpile.

Cards Values and Powers

Now, let’s talk about the cards. Each card has a value associated with it. Most of the cards, like the 2s through 9s, have their usual face values. But, there are some special cards that change things up a bit. Let me tell you about them!

Hey there! Let’s talk about the exciting world of card games! Specifically, I want to share some cool rules with you about a game that involves the ace, two, four, five, ten, Jack, queen, and king cards.

First up, we have the ace of spades and clubs. When you play this card, you get to choose any number from 0 to 100 and make that the value of the play pile. It’s like waving a magic wand!

Next, we have the two of spades. This sneaky card has the power to double the current value of the play pile. It’s like a multiplier that makes everything twice as exciting!

Now, let’s move on to the fours. When you play any four card, the play direction reverses. It’s like doing a U-turn in the game! However, the fours don’t add any value to the play pile, so keep that in mind.

The fives of hearts and diamonds are pretty tricky. They subtract 5 from the value of the play pile. It’s like a small setback, but don’t worry, there are other cards that can boost you up!

Speaking of boosting, the tens are true game-changers. When you play any ten card, the value of the play pile instantly becomes 100. It’s like hitting the jackpot!

Watch out for the Jacks! These cards subtract 10 from the value of the play pile. They can be a bit mischievous, but you can turn the tables with the right strategy!

Now we come to the queens. The queen of hearts is a special card – it sets the play pile’s value to 0. It’s like hitting a reset button! But all other queens have a value of 10. They may not be as powerful, but they still play an important role.

Lastly, we have the kings. Unfortunately, they don’t add any value to the play pile or change the game rules. They’re like the quiet spectators of the game. We can’t expect them to do much, but that’s okay.

GAMEPLAY

Hey there! Let’s dive into the world of card games! I’m excited to tell you all about a cool game called “Play Pile.” It’s a game where players compete to avoid being left with the highest value on the play pile.

So, here’s how it goes:

The game starts with the player to the left of the dealer. They’re the ones who get the ball rolling by playing any card from their hand to start the play pile. Remember, all cards will be played to the play pile, and once a player adds a card, they need to announce the new total value of the play pile.

After playing a card, the player then draws the top card from the stockpile and passes their turn to the next player. If the stockpile runs out of cards, don’t worry! We’ll take all but the last card from the play pile, mix them up, and create a new stockpile.

Now, here’s the fun part: the goal is to avoid playing a card that would make the total value of the play pile exceed 100. If you accidentally play a card that pushes the total value over 100, you’ll lose a chip and have to skip your turn. Be careful!

Speaking of chips, if a player loses all their chips, unfortunately, they’re out of the game. The last player standing with chips is the ultimate winner!

Game Over!

The game comes to an end when there’s only one player left. That player is declared the winner and can claim their champion status!
