The online card game «Belka» (Squirrel) is one of the most popular games in the northern part of Kazakhstan.
The birthplace of «Belka»is the city of Karaganda.
The card game Squirrel resembles the game of Fool, but here you have to remember the 7th grade algebra material.
Rules of the game:
One game consists of one distribution of cards and eight draws.
The value of cards in points: ace - 11 points, 10 - 10 points, king - 4 points, queen - 3 points, jack - 2 points, 7, 8, 9 - are worthless.
The total number of points of all cards is 120. The number of points in a game and the number of points in each distribution (draw) is different. Jacks are always trump cards of their seniority: jack of clubs, jack of spades, jack of hearts, jack of diamonds.
The first dealer is determined by lot or otherwise.
In the next set, the next player deals clockwise or counterclockwise (at the discretion of the players) after the first dealer.
The deck is carefully shuffled, removed by the player to the left of the dealer, and each player is dealt 8 cards, two cards at a time counterclockwise.
When dealing cards in the first set, the trump suit is always clubs.
In the following games, the trump suit is determined as follows: after the first game is played, the player who had the jack of clubs card is determined and remembered, and this player is assigned the suit of clubs, the player on the right is assigned the suit of hearts, the player opposite is assigned the suit of spades and the player who is sitting on the left, the suit of diamonds is assigned. In the following games, when distributing cards, the player who receives the jack of clubs must inform the other players about this and the trump suit is determined by the suit assigned to him in the first game. The first move in the game belongs to the player to the left or right (at the discretion of the players) of the dealer. This player's card determines the suit of this draw. All players place one face-up card on the table. The card must be put in the same suit, if there is no card of this suit, then the player can discard any card. Jacks always belong to the current trump suit. Then the player who will take the laid out cards (bribe) is determined, the same player has the right to start the next draw of cards. After eight draws, when the players have no cards left in their hands, the number of points in the game played is calculated. A pair of players who scored from 61 to 90 points in a game opens 1 point in a game, if they score from 91 to 119 points, then opens 2 points.
If the jack of clubs in the distribution was with the opponents, then one more point is added. If a pair of players scores 60 points, then no points are added in the game, and in the next game the winning pair of players can optionally add 4 points or reward opponents with the title "Zhumyrtka" (Eggs)".
If a pair of players in a game scores 120 points (this situation is called "goals"), then the game is considered won.
The goal of the game is to win the game in one of two ways:
- score 12 or more points (eyes) in a game;
-score 120 points in the hand and not give a single trick to the opposing team, even with 0 points
- you can continue, given that the team won one game.
A game consists of several games, which are called distributions.
The game is played with a regular deck of 36 cards.
