Introducing Slobberhannes: The Sloppy Eater
Slobberhannes is a fun card game for four players. The goal of the game is to avoid capturing the first and last tricks, as well as the Queen of Clubs. It’s a perfect game for those who are new to trick-taking games.
The Cards and Dealing
In Slobberhannes, we use a deck of 32 cards. The cards range from 7 (low) to Ace (high). To determine who leads the first trick, each player cuts the deck and the person with the highest card goes first. The player to their right then deals the cards to all players.
Each player receives eight cards, making sure that the entire deck is evenly distributed.
How to Play
Let’s get started with a fun card game! Here’s how it goes:
First, we gather all the players and find out who goes first. The player who cuts the highest card gets to start. Each player chooses a card from their hand and plays it face up on the table. The player to the left then plays a card that matches the suit of the lead-card. But if they don’t have a matching card, they can play any card they want. Ready? Let’s play!
So, here’s the exciting part. The player who plays the highest card in the suit that was led gets to capture the trick. And guess what? The trick-winner leads the next round! Are you curious to know how it all ends? Keep reading!
We keep playing and playing until we complete all eight tricks. It’s like a mini journey filled with surprise and strategy. But don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it in no time!
Now, let’s talk about scoring. For capturing the first trick, the last trick, and the Queen of Clubs, players earn penalty points. And if a player is skilled enough to capture all three, they even earn an additional penalty point. So, paying attention and playing smart is the key to success!
Finally, let’s find out how to win this game. We all know winning feels great, right? Well, the game ends when a player reaches 10 points or more. And here’s the twist – the player who reaches 10 points or more actually loses! But you know who wins? Everyone else! It’s like a little victory for the whole gang!
So what do you say? Let’s grab a deck of cards and start playing. It’s going to be a lot of fun, trust me!
