All About all fives
THE RULES AND HOW TO O PLAY ALL FIVES This card game is a trick taking game for two or three players. it is in reality a variation of the game All Fours where extra points are awarded for taking trump cards in tricks. IE :A=4 K=3 Q=2 J=1 10=10 and 5=5.
A standard pack of cards is used and the cards are ranked traditionally IE: Ace high down to 2 low. Players cut for the deal, with the holder of the highest card dealing first. Each player is dealt 6 cards in lots of 3. The next card is turned up and that suit becomes trumps. After each hand the deal is passed to the right of the dealer. If the player on the dealer's left is happy with the trump suit that is shown by the turn up, he says "Stand" and the game begins. If the player on the dealer's left does not want the trump card that was turned up he says "I beg". The dealer then can choose to change. If the dealer decides to keep the trumps as turned up, he says "Take one"; the player on his left gets 1 point and the game starts.

If the dealer decides to change the trump suit, he puts the turned up
card aside and deals 3 more cards to each player, and then turns up the next
card which becomes trumps. If the turned up card is of a different suit than
the 1st one that was turned up the play starts with this new suit as trumps.
If the new turned up card is the same suit as before, the dealer then deals another 3 cards to each player and turns up another card. This procedure continues until the process produces a new trump suit. If the entire deck is used up before a new trump suit is found, the entire deck is reshuffled and dealt again. The player on the dealer's left takes the 1st lead. Each player must then follow suit if they can. Failure to do so is a revoke. If a player does not have a card of the suit led, he may play any card he chooses. The trick is won by the highest trump card played to it, or by the highest card of the suit led if no trumps cards have been used. The winner of the trick leads to the next trick. |
At the end of each hand, points are awarded for trump cards contained in tricks each player has won. The point cards are as follows:
Ace of trumps,4 points
King of trumps, 3 points
Queen of trumps, 2 points
Jack of trumps, 1 point
10 of trumps, 10 points
5 of trumps, 5 points
The failure to follow suit when able to is called revoking. There is no penalty if the error is corrected before the trick is turned over. Once the trick is turned over, but before the next trick commences, an opposing player may call a revoke. A player cannot win the game on any hand in which they revoke. The revoking player loses 3 points as a penalty. (Variant rule: all other players receive three bonus points instead).
