How to win the game of fool cards. Secrets of playing the fool

Rules of the game: players are dealt 6 cards, and a trump card is randomly selected - the suit that will be the highest in this game. It is placed face down, and the rest of the deck is placed face down on top. Let it be the queen of spades. The right to make the first move goes to the one who has the smallest trump card: for example, you have 10 spades, and your opponent has 7 spades - he makes the first move. You can move, for example, 2, 3 or 4 cards of the same value at once - for example, three sixes. You have to fight back with higher cards. If there is no suitable suit, you can play a trump card, which may be lower. If your opponent is satisfied with the way you fought back, the cards are folded separately and are not returned to them. In the flip “Fool”, the opponent can flip cards during the process. For example, on two sixes you put 7 and 8, if your opponent has 7 or 8 in his hands, he can “toss” them and you are obliged to cover these cards. After each “bounce”, the players draw cards from the pot so that everyone has 6. If you cannot repel the attack, you take these cards to yourself and use them further. And so on until the victorious or not so final. The player who has no cards left wins. If no one has them left, it is declared a draw. If at the very beginning you received at least 5 cards of the same suit out of 6, you can ask to be dealt again.

Finally, we have more or less figured out the rules.

Now for some tactical tricks:

1. Try not to accept many cards, especially towards the end.

2. Don't skimp on your trump cards. You should not sit with the only king, taking the whole game until you lose your pulse.

3. Try to get rid of small cards and leave large ones.

4. Start your turn with paired cards. For example, you have two 8s and a six. It's better to go with double eights. After all, there is a high probability that your opponent will fight back with a trump six and you can safely throw in yours.

5. In some cases, it is advantageous to cover small cards with high ones. For example, you have a weak layout of 7s, 10s and one king. In order not to accept a bunch of 7s and 10s that your opponent will probably put in, cover with the king. If he throws a king, take it; if not, then get rid of small cards on your turn.

6. Throughout the game, remember the movement of at least the trump suit. Please note that, for example, the trump Jack went into retreat, you fought back with a 10, and your opponent took the queen from the horse, which was lying face down the entire time. This will especially help in the final part. Don’t forget about the elimination method: if at the end of the game you have a jack, a queen, and a king, but the ace was not visible throughout the game, it means your opponent has it.

7. Try to fight back with paired cards. For example, they came to you with three 10s. It is much more profitable to fight back with three kings (if any) in the flip “Fool” than, say, a jack, a queen and an ace. When you fight back with paired cards, you don't give your opponent much choice in what to do. Most likely, he will not have a fourth king, and the move will pass to you. And the risk that he has a jack, queen or ace is much higher.

8. Play confidently and even brazenly. You shouldn’t save a couple of medium trump cards the entire game; it’s better to fight back with them at a difficult moment.

9. Remember the cards the player accepts. And when you move again, think about how your opponent can fight back and whether you can throw it.

10. Remember, the more time you do not touch the deck, the greater the chance that your opponent will gradually draw all the trump cards. Therefore, try not to accept cards, and if you have to, then act according to point 5. It’s another matter if you are lucky with the layout - then you can sometimes pretend to have no trump cards and accept that your opponent tries to “riff” the deck more often in search of the treasured suit. And thereby you will save your trump cards. But do it within reason and depending on the situation.

I hope these little tips will help you win more often. Good luck!

When playing with no more than 2 players

You can learn to play like a fool. To do this, we will define 2 stages of creating a winning strategy.
1. Determining your opponent's playing style.
2. Creating your own counter-style of play.

Determining your opponent's playing style. In order to determine what style your opponent plays, you need to play several control games with him. There are often 4 main play styles:
trump player- a player who, during the game, never throws up trump cards, makes the first move with one card and throws up any cards, with the goal not to overwhelm the opponent, but to throw away unnecessary cards in order to take trump cards from the deck.
player collecting high cards (aces, kings, queens)- usually such a player throughout the game tries to collect 4 aces or 4 kings, provided that the aces are out of the game, or 4 queens, provided that the aces and kings are out of the game. Such a player is usually determined in the final stage of the game, when the cards in the deck have run out and it is necessary to force the opponent to take cards, or, on the contrary, 4 high cards are opposed to the opponent’s cards, with the help of which you can fight off any cards from which you entered. Typically, such a player tries to collect 4 aces and 2 more trump cards.
a player who throws small cards at his opponent- such a player forces his opponent to take all the cards from which he was approached. What does this give? Firstly, there is a greater chance of taking trump or necessary cards from the deck, and secondly, it deprives the opponent of the initiative in the game, comparing him with a baby who can play, but cannot control the game.
a player who collects paired cards of different values- a player who, during the course of the game, always makes paired combinations of cards from his cards. Paired cards can give an advantage both when beating off the opponent's cards and an advantage during the first run.
These are the popular and most frequently used playing styles. To believe this, just register with mail.ru and play several hundred games there. All other styles, to one degree or another, combine all of the above styles.
Of course, I don’t consider a giveaway game or a game of someone who doesn’t think when playing the fool as a style of play.

Creating your own counter-style of play. What can be contrasted with the above styles?

To the player collecting trump cards- let’s divide this game into 2 stages, this is determining the player’s weak suit and discarding trump cards in response to entries with cards of a weak suit. Therefore, before the middle of the game you need to determine your opponent’s weak suit. During the game, try to enter with cards of different suits and as soon as a weak suit is determined, then methodically try to force your opponent to fight back with trump cards. By an opponent's weak suit I mean that suit, the suit of cards, that the opponent does not have.
The player who collects the highest cards (aces, kings, queens)- it is not difficult to play against such an opponent, knowing that he is not collecting trumps and that at the end of the game he will use his advantage of four high cards. To do this, you can force such a player to fight back with these cards 2 or 3 hands before the end of the game, this is when there are about 6 cards left in the deck, maybe a little more.
A player throwing small cards at his opponent- the following can be done against such a player. Firstly, fight back at the beginning of the game only with high cards: aces, kings, queens. It is necessary to collect high cards at the beginning of the game in order to be able to fight back at least once or twice during the game. You can try to collect all the high cards before the middle of the game, and from the middle of the game start an attack with smaller cards, with each hand, moving to the high cards, thus, the player who throws his opponent with small cards (hereinafter larger) will end up in your own trap. In the middle of the game, he will not want to discard his trump cards, as a result of which he will take them.
A player collecting paired cards of different values- it is difficult to play against such a player, since he will always have a couple of cards, both for moving and for clearing. You can only oppose such a player with the same game, that is, play with paired cards and fight back with paired cards.

Game option. One of the users of my program introduced me to this version of the game when there was this gap in the algorithm for playing the fool. This gap lay in the following tactics of the game.
If at the beginning of the game you get 2-3 large trump cards (you can also use small trump cards), then during the game you do not beat off your opponent’s cards, but accept them until there are at least eight to ten of them left in the deck (you can find out how many cards are left , if you count them during the game), then you start walking with the smallest cards, of which there should be 3 or 4 of the same value. In this case, the opponent will have to either fight back (then in any case you will have cards that you can throw to your opponent) or accept cards. If the opponent fights back, then after the hang up, when he draws cards from the deck, he will most likely take non-trump cards, since he fought back with them and then, having fought off his move, you can easily beat him. But if your opponent accepts cards from you without fighting back, then he will have a chance to beat you using the same tactics (as you played) (the opponent will accept cards from you for the time being, after which he will fight back and overwhelm you with the same cards that I received from you).
Most often, few people know about this game tactic and, after playing once, they lose, but an experienced player immediately understands what’s going on and will try to interrupt the game in the middle.

When playing with 3 players

In such a game you need to collect trump and pair cards. To do this you need to try to fight back. The most important thing in such a game is to never throw cards at the player you are following. This can only be done at the end of the game, when the cards in the deck have run out and you see that this player can be the first to leave the game. This is explained by the fact that if you throw cards at this player, then the next move will be made for you by the next player and you will not be able to discard unnecessary cards again and throw at a player who may come to you. You can even cheat, take the card with which they came to you, and then the next player will go to the player who will have to come to you. You will have a chance to throw cards at this player.

When playing with 4 players

In this game you need to decide whether you are playing against everyone or against two, that is, pair against pair. If the player sitting opposite you plays at the same time with you, then the game will become much easier. This game is usually called pair-on-pair. The player who sits to your left plays in pairs with the player who sits to your right, and you correspondingly play in pairs with the player sitting opposite you. In such a game it is necessary to throw players left and right. To do this, it is recommended to go to the player on the left at the beginning of the game with low paired cards. If there are none, then choose the lowest card of the suit that you have the most. If this is not the case, then you can make a pair of low cards, for example: a trump six and a six of diamonds.
If you managed to kill the player to your right and the turn has passed to you, then it is advisable for you to play from those cards that the player to your left or right does not have. After the first round of the game, you can already guess what cards these are. For example, during the rebound process, the player flashed cards 8, 10, jack, and the player on the left flashed 7, queen, in this case it is recommended to go with 6, 7, 9, since the chance that your partner has these cards is high.
If the player to your left or right takes cards and among these there is a card of higher value, for example, a queen or a king, then try to get rid of it, since you will not be able to fight back with it (since they will immediately throw you the rest of the paired cards) and you will have a chance to draw a pair or trump card from the deck. If the player to your right couldn’t fight back and takes the cards and you are sure that you can take down the player to your left, then you don’t have to throw in the highest card, since obviously the player to your right can use it to fight back when your partner moves and You can already drop it off.
When playing as a pair, you should never throw your player. You can only throw cards to him when he takes them, and then only of the highest value and so that they make up a combination of 3 or four cards for him, so that the likelihood that he will fight back next time is high.
If you are playing against everyone, not pair against pair, then it is recommended to take the low card that they came to take from you, otherwise you risk taking a large number of low cards. For example, you hit a six with an eight, respectively, all sixes and eights will fly to you. Otherwise, you will only take sixes.

When playing with 5 players or more

In such a game, of course, everyone plays for themselves, so try not to beat off the low card with which they came to you, just take it. If they come to you with a higher card, and you see that you cannot fight back, then fight back with a higher card, so that these higher cards are thrown to you and you have better cards in relation to the cards of other players.

Main

If the opponent fights back with trump cards at the beginning of the game , then we can definitely say that he plays cards poorly, since at the beginning of the game there is no point in folding the trump card. It is recommended to take the bounce cards along with the trump cards, but next time it is better to try to fight back.
If you are going to fight back. It is recommended to fight back with paired cards, since your opponent has less chance of throwing a card to you. Your cards should not contain low cards or more than two cards of the same suit, with the exception of trump cards. Otherwise, you risk drawing cards.
How to force your opponent to fight back with trump or high cards. If it is your turn and your cards contain several cards of the same non-trump suit, and if you hit one (lower) of these cards, then your opponent at the beginning or middle of the game will most likely take this card, and if it is at the end of the game, then the opponent will be forced to fight back with a trump card.
Bluff. Don't forget about bluffing. For example, a situation at the end of a game with several players, when you have 3 trump cards (king of clubs, 10 of clubs, 6 of clubs). They made a move to you from the ace of diamonds, in this case you must fight back with 10 clubs, then they come to you from the ace of spades, here you must fight back with the king of clubs. Why, you ask? Because players may think that your highest card is the king and will not throw you a trump ace, but will throw you an ace of diamonds, which you will beat off with 6 clubs. Do not overuse bluffing, otherwise they will always throw you a trump ace. Instead of aces, there may be lower cards, so bluffing often can lead to you losing.
Memorizing cards. Well, the most important thing is that you need to learn how to memorize cards. You must know which cards came out of the game and in what order. Knowing which cards are coming out gives you information about what cards your opponent might have, and knowing in what order the cards are coming out gives you information about where the expected card is. For example, an opponent entered with a ten of hearts, so we can assume that the nine of hearts is still in the deck (store), but this statement can only be made with ordinary players, a professional can go with a ten, having a nine in his hands, since he has several tens , and nine is one. Read the method of memorizing cards that I suggest.

The gaming industry is not only a profitable branch of modern business, but also a hobby that deprives you of your will. The excitement of the game can sometimes lead to very serious problems. It is very important to turn playing cards simply into a GAME, but not into the MEANING of life!

Beginner card players

For a beginner player in any game, as well as in cards, it is important to understand that each game needs its own strategy, and then winning in cards will be obvious:

It is advisable to play liquid games that allow you to win often, but in small amounts.
You need to calculate your rates correctly, mainly based on your budget.
Do not raise bets during one game.
Breaks between games are a must!
Mix the cards yourself, giving them your strength, your desire to win.

To understand how to win at cards, you need to use three possible game options:

Intuition
Logics
Cheating

Which of these options is suitable, of course, needs to be decided by the player himself.

Intuition

Intuition is directly related to thoughts and actions. The more your head is filled with obsessive delirium, the further away a person is from intuition. You can bring your head back to normal by meditating for 15-20 minutes a day. Very often, successful players listen to intuition, their inner voice, and cannot give a rational explanation of why luck came. Most likely, the conversation here can be about the experience of the game. An inexperienced player should not rely on this feeling. However, you can try to develop intuition in playing cards. This technique is practiced using a deck of cards. First, red and black cards are selected, then suits, ranks, etc. Can be combined.

Logics

People with well-developed logic easily identify the main thing in a game; they see the goal at the end of this game. They are consistent in the game, in the bets. However, a backlash may follow here too. According to probability theory, winning and losing at cards are approximately equal. If you lose for a long time, then winning will inevitably come. And vice versa.

Cheating

It is difficult, if not impossible, to implement this option in a casino or with card professionals. But this can be done in a regular game with friends, relatives, acquaintances or strangers (on a train, in a hotel, etc.) by following a few simple steps:

You can unexpectedly throw in a completely different card, which no one threw in, and there was no benefit to it. Nobody noticed, so nothing happened. I want to win!
You can also put a “bat” near you, i.e. cards that are out of play. Then throw unnecessary cards into this “bat” or, on the contrary, take the best ones. In this case, you can distract players by turning their attention to another player.
There is also a “team game” option, which requires an accomplice. You can sit next to each other, showing your card, or you can exchange a few words, showing some signs. What happens next depends on the patience of other players.
The best way to win is with personal marked cards. These could be bruises, abrasions, a torn piece, marks on a card with a needle.

Rules for card players

Often card players adhere to certain rules that allow them to benefit for themselves:

When more than two people are participating in the game, it is better to sit second at the table.
If playing cards for money takes place in the evening, then it is better to sit facing the moon.
To be lucky in the game, you need to sit on a chair and quietly “draw” a cross with your back.
When starting to play cards for money, you should not count the money that can be won, otherwise it may go to your opponents.
There is no need to take the dealt cards first.
You should not hum or whistle while playing.
It’s better to win honestly, sooner or later this can lead to big troubles. And there is no need to feel sorry for the deceived players, so that luck does not run out.

In this article I will talk about how to play the fool. Namely, I will describe the method “ how to win at a fool».

First, I'll give a brief introduction to why I'm writing this article and who I am to give advice.

Sometimes I play cards, transfer games, but more often a fool by email. Several thousand games played and more than half of the victories. Lately I've been feeling unlucky. I wondered if this was luck or the result of years of games? And I decided to analyze my actions, which was confirmed!

I developed for myself practically 100% winning formula! Now I know " how to win at a fool" It turns out I'm not the only one interested in this. If you play for money, this will especially help you! This author's technique refers to the game " sneaky fool"and is used with equal success both offline and on the Internet.

So let's get started. Let's start in order. Should I play with the same ones or not? Well, the answer is obvious: if you're lucky, then yes. If not, then no. It happens that when you play according to the method, sometimes you lose, but rarely. This is just an exception to the rule, which confirms the rule, because everywhere there are exceptions and errors. Keep this in mind. You can play with two, three or four players.

If you play as a widow, this is easier for some, but not for others. There are special moments here, giveaways - so that the enemy thinks that you are weak, and you put your trump cards on the table at the most opportune moment. The main thing is not to miss this moment, so that it is not too late. Sometimes the enemy wants to crush you to the end, sometimes his goal is to test your patience, and sometimes to win and run away, leaving you as losers. Bend your stick and never deviate from the method: He will think that you are playing randomly, but you and I know that you follow the rules, your own rules.

When playing with three players, choose which side you are on, whether you are an attacker or a defender. A temporary ally will feel this and play along, but remember, in the finals there are no allies - everyone is for himself and wait for a setup and respond wisely, or better yet, strike first.

When there are four players, the game is played only in pairs, otherwise it is almost impossible to win, although there are many cases when one person defeats everyone. The main thing here is to rely on the trust of your partner, showing him your trust by throwing a trump card to your opponent, thus protecting your partner from attack. He will follow your example.

These were general tips, and now let's move on to some tricks. If you go first, and especially if you have an ace in your hand, then half the job is done. Always play with a smaller card, especially if they are paired or even larger. This way you have more chances to overwhelm your opponent by throwing more cards. If they come at you, fight back with big cards, so there is less chance of being thrown (at the beginning of the game, few people have big cards in their hands) or deliberately collect more large cards so that the rest are left with nothing at the end of the game. Also fight back with a card of the same value, but a trump card.

Golden Rule, and the most important rule of this article, the entire game in general and all card games in general - be able to count the cards, which ones are out and which ones are not. This way you can literally know with the precision of a telepath or clairvoyant what card someone has, and this is an easy victory.

Maybe not everything was said, but the main points were made. In addition, never show trump cards, even when you think you will fight back. They will give it to you anyway, and you will take it. But at least they won’t know what cards you have in your hands.

There are many specific points, but these tips are enough to raise you to a higher level, starting from the fact that you already know how to win at a fool. I’ll add that if your partner, in a four-player game, gives his opponent three cards, and he takes, and you have two paired cards and one unpaired card in your hand that can be tossed, throw one of the paired cards. For example, you have two kings and a jack. You need to throw the king. Because if he fights back next time with one of the kings that you threw to him, thinking that all the cards came out or remained in the deck, you will have a surprise for him.

Always leave your trump cards for last, this will surprise your opponent. You can, of course, cheat and play only in one circle of people or talk, send signs to each other or cheat, but this is nothing compared to a proven formula that will turn any, even the most sophisticated cheating on the part of the enemy against himself, in your favor. Happy gaming!

When playing with no more than 2 players

You can learn to play like a fool. To do this, we will define 2 stages of creating a winning strategy.

1. Determining your opponent's playing style.

2. Creating your own counter-style of play.

Determining your opponent's playing style

In order to determine what style your opponent plays, you need to play several control games with him. There are often 4 main play styles:

a player who collects trump cards is a player who, during the game, never throws up trump cards, makes the first move with one card and throws up any cards, with the goal of not overwhelming the opponent, but discarding unnecessary cards in order to take trump cards from the deck.

It is recommended to take the bounce cards along with the trump cards, but next time it is better to try to fight back.

If you are going to fight back. In this case, your cards should not contain low cards and more than two cards of the same suit, with the exception of trump cards. Otherwise, you risk drawing cards.
