Pretty young and not too simple card game "Deberts", the rules of which we will tell in our article, is gaining increasing popularity in Russia. It has several varieties, which differ from each other by the permissible number of players. With them, as well as with small tricks and subtleties of the game, we will introduce the reader.

Short review

In the game "Deberts" the rules are simple enough and concise, so it will be very easy to remember them. For an exciting process, you only need one deck of regular cards (32 pieces, without sixes). Depending on the chosen type of game participants can be from two to four. And its main difference from other card games is that the seniority of the cards of a trump and non-consecutive suit is not built in the standard order. In the game "Deberts" the rules are arranged in the following order (from the youngest card to the oldest one):

1. Trump suit - 7; 8; lady; king; 10; ace; 9; Jack.
2. Naked Armor - 7; 8; 9; Jack; lady; king; 10; ace.

To learn the rules of the game in "Deberts" together, you need to remember and the main requirement for winning - to score as quickly as possible the required number of points.

Beginning of the game

So, the card game "Deberts" begins. Its rules assume that it starts with the delivery of cards and the definition of a trump card. In the standard version, 6 cards are distributed. The right of the first move is given exclusively to the opponent's surrender. The next player must walk either with a card of exactly the same suit, or with a trump card.

An interesting moment comes when the last card on the table is the trump card. In this case, the next player who makes the move must beat this card to the one that will be stronger. A more powerful card gives the player the opportunity to take a bribe. If the game game starts with a trump, then the player with the seven of the trump suit is allowed to replace it with another card, but only that suit, which is a trump card.

The Moscow "Debertz"

The game described has a Moscow and Kharkov variety. The first one in Russia is the most popular. Detailed rules of the game in the Moscow "Deberts" are described below. There are no particularly twisted or complicated conditions, so the Moscow "Debertz" fell in love with almost everyone who has ever played it.

By the way, the basic rules of the game in the "Deberts" four together do not significantly differ from the rules for two or three players.

Trade (start of the game)

The first person who will deal cards is determined by the usual lot, and all subsequent games of the card are handed over to the winners of the previous ones. After careful shuffle, determining the trump suit (the most mundane card) and distributing the deck is placed in the center of the table. The rules of the game in "Deberts" alone (or in another composition) make it possible to carry out many interesting "deals".

As it was said above, the first rival of the one who handed over starts. All players order the game on a trump card. Then everyone has the right words, the player can say: "I'm playing" or "Paz". The game will be considered ordered if only one person from those present at the card table confirmed it with the word "I play." Then he must score more points. And if all the players pass, then each call each other suit in order to determine a new trump card. If everyone again surrendered, then the deck passes into the hands of another person and begins all over again.

Card Combinations

By the way, the "Deberts" rule has though strict, but rather curious. After all, in fact, interest in the game quickly disappears, if it does not have certain laws.

Immediately after the trade there is a rally of bribes. Before that, any player can safely announce that he has any combination that will help him to earn extra points. As everyone knows, a combination is called a special combination of cards. And the opponent can easily interrupt this combination of his, but only on the condition that it will be more. As a result, the oldest of them will win, and the player will be credited with points.

In general, there are three main combinations:

1. Half a ruble. The contract is 4 cards of the same suit.
2. Tertz is 3 cards in a row of the same suit.
3. Bella is a trump king and a lady.

And besides them, there are other combinations of cards that can also affect the player's victory.

It should be noted that the fifty kopecks is larger than any tertz. If several players have combinations of the same length, then the winner is the one whose reading from the larger card. The speed in declaring your own combination will be appropriate in the event that the combination of cards for both players is completely the same.

There are cases when several combinations are present simultaneously. Only the most senior of them should be declared here, otherwise the announcement will not be accepted. The rest can be announced only if no one else interrupts it.

Rally

The draw is also present in the game "Deberts" foursome. The rules here are standard, and the game itself will be much more interesting if several people take part in it.

Bribes begin to be played either after the announcement of combinations, or in their absence. After the handler's opponent, the move goes to the one who took the bribe last. The turn must be only one card. Respond to the course of the previous player follows a card of the same suit, but in the absence of it, you can put any card.

Hanging by the name of the same number of finishing points for players. Then the opponent writes glasses to himself, but the accumulated points of the player simply hang and remain until the next game (optional). They can also be added to the player who will be able to take more points in the next deal. This greatly simplifies the game for some people, and some have even greater interest and desire to win.

If this situation repeats twice, then the players have two choices:

1. Play all the baidas in the next game.
2. Play them alternately - the first bide in the next game, and the second after it.

In the case of a hanging canoe, the next player to be the one who ordered the trump card the previous time.

Glasses

Earning points is also included in the rules of the game in the "Debertz". Basically, the game continues to 501 points. They are counted only after the gaming has been completed. They must be counted on the basis of combinations.

Surely, many people know how to play "Debertz". The rules of the game are not very complex, so remember them quickly. The main thing is to be able to correctly count the number of points. So, the jack of a trump suit is counted for 20 points only once. In addition, there are points for bribes and for combinations:

1. Bribes: Jack of the usual suit - 2 points; Lady -3; The king - 4; Card 10 - 10 points; The most recent bribe is 10; Ace - 11; Trump card 9 - 14 points; A jack of honor - 20.
2. Combinations: the queen and the king of trump suit or 3 alternate cards of the same suit - 20; 4 cards in a row of the same suit - 50 points.

Penalties

Surprising of some players in the "Debertz" (the rules of it are presented to your attention) the presence of fines. But no solid game can not just do without different punishments for the players. This gives her an edge and excitement.

So, every player in his own record must observe the so-called pencil rule. It consists in the fact that the player first writes down the glasses, then puts the pencil and only then removes the counted cards in the deck.

If the opponent has been able to notice the extra points assigned to the other player, then after indicating this, he has the opportunity to record a difference. With a deceiver, these points are written off. An error of exactly 100 points, of course, will be corrected, but the player will not be punished for this.

The extra card, as well as the replacement of the very first trump card by the seven, is a bide. With the wrong (perhaps, accidental) announcement of the end of the game, the penalty will be in the form of an instant loss of the game.

The Kharkov "Debertz"

The rules of the game in "Debertz" (Kharkov) are known to many people. Not only the fans of the game itself, but also other fans of card games at least once played it.

From the usual Moscow view, Kharkov has a couple of main differences:

1. In the case of two equal combinations, the advantage will be for the card that was declared before, and not for the trump card.
2. Tertz trump card (only ace) is by no means the greatest of all that could be here.

Playing up to 301 points

The rules in the game up to 301 points differ from the other varieties of "Debertz" by the number of points that need to be dialed - they are not 501, but 301. Of course, many tried to experiment and achieve other final results, but standard rules were always better. After all, they have long been tested and tested by other card lovers.

Short

As already mentioned above, the game (cards) "Deberz" is divided into several types. The rules of the short version may seem simpler than the previous ones.

This option is played in the same way as the Moscow one, but there are some differences:

1. The winner gets a player with a lot of points.
2. For two and three players without a baida - it does not matter which of them ordered a trump suit.
3. For two and three players with a canoe - the player who ordered the trump card will lose the bet doubled if he scores less points than the rest.
4. Any player can offer to the opponent to surrender, having said a word "даве". But this proposal must necessarily be accompanied by a certain number of points. Two times in a row, one person can not make an offer. Dove will move in turn to the players after the opponent's acceptance of the offer.
5. Before the start of the game, there is an opportunity to negotiate a rate increase in order to agree on this between all players. Here you can use not only arithmetic, but also geometric progression.

With fifty dollars

This option is also popular among fans of the game "Debertz". Rules for two players in this version will not be difficult for anyone, so you can play not only sitting at the table at home, for example, and at a picnic.

The interest and the main feature of this variety is that between the definition of a trump card and the surrender of the last three cards, one of the players has the right to offer the second to immediately record 50 points. As a result, the winner will be determined by the greater number of points scored, but the gap between the players should be exactly 250 points.

Threesomes

The basic rules of the game in the "Deberts" three together are not very different from the standard, but there are some nuances:

1. The player who ordered this game must eventually score a little more points than the others. If this did not happen, then the players will record the bide in half, and in the opposite case, each player will record only their points.
2. Announcements about the points that are scored must necessarily be added, provided that the older one passes through them. But the playing person will have to interrupt their ads, because as soon as only then he will write down his own glasses.
3. With the hanging ball, the points will be played the same way as in the game together. And after a second baida, all the dangling glasses should be equally divided into all the whistlers.

End of the game

As you can see, in the game "Deberts" the rules are quite interesting and unusual. It ends only when one of the players scored the required number of points. But he must wait until he takes a bribe, while the other player does not have to make his move. After the most recent bribe in the game or with a bide, the announcement of the points will not be accepted. And if two or more players reach the required number of points simultaneously, then the title of the winner will be given to the last one who took the bribe.

Here are some little intricate, but very interesting rules for the popular card game. In the company of two or four people, maps will always find use, and "Deberts" will help not only pass the time, but also enjoy the communication with friends.
