Game : Trump
• Not categorized into any form of card-games.
• Game-play relies 50% on the cards that are got and 50% on
strategy.
• This game is different from the game presented in midterm
project presentation .
• Reason: Midterm Game: Heavily inspired from a particular
genre of games : Trick-taking and bidding games. The player
has to bid for points and has to attain those points.
• Current Game: Not inspired from any such genre. Hence not
categorized.
• Any known categorizations are welcome.
Rules
• 4 member game.
• 2 players per team;2 teams
• A,B,C,D (if seated in a circular order
, then A and C are one team-members
and the other team-members are B
and D.)
• Cards used : 2 to 9 of all suites.
Rules
• Objective of the game: To win
maximum number of rounds than the
opposite team.
• Total number of rounds is typically 8.
• Result can be a Draw as well apart
from Win or Lose.
Rules:
1. Players, after getting the cards, initially have to
call out their suite.
2. If players do not agree on a suite, the players
have to predict the number of rounds their teams
will make. Highest predictor wins the suite call.
3. Game proceeds.
4. Players start the play by putting the cards. A
round is won by the player if he puts the card
which has the same suite which he had called out
earlier.
Rules
5. If , the opponent player also does the same thing,
then the other team member’s card is considered.
If that also is like that , go to rule 6.
6. Values of the cards are looked. The player’s card
with the maximum value wins.
7. If that is the same as the opponent, then the
cumulative value of both the members of the
team is seen.
8. If that is also the same, then the round is called
even. i.e, neither of the team wins the round.
Rules
9.Alternatively, if in step 4, no one puts the card
according to their called suite, go to step 6.
10. In step 4, if one member of the team has put
according to the suite and the other has not in
both the teams, then go to rule 11.
11. Both values and suites are looked. i.e value which
followed the suite has greater preference than a
relatively greater value which did not follow the
suite.
12.Team with the maximum number of rounds wins.
Equal number = Draw.

Acceptance Feedback
• Asked from 4 people as of now.
• Feedback :
• The game is interesting to play and
finishes faster.

• Can be made more better by removing the
draw situation somehow.
