A deck of 54 cards, with each player receiving 17 cards and 3 cards left face down. Before the landlord is determined, players are not allowed to look at their own cards. Landlord is a popular card game in China, similar to Big Two, but with more diverse card combinations, making it more exciting.
The specific gameplay is based on a deck of 54 cards, including four each of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A, and two jokers (commonly known as big and small kings), totaling 54 cards. Except for the jokers, the 2 is the highest-ranking card, similar to the gameplay of Big Two in Taiwan.
The game is played by 3 players, where one player becomes the landlord, and the other two players become peasants. Both sides compete using their poker hands, and the first one to run out of cards wins. It first became popular in Hubei, China, and has gradually gained popularity worldwide. Now let’s introduce this most beloved game.
After the landlord is determined, they reveal three cards for everyone to see, and then retain these three cards. The landlord starts by playing cards, followed by other players in a counterclockwise order.
When it’s a player’s turn, they can choose to play cards that are higher than the previous player’s cards or choose not to play.
The game ends when a player runs out of all their cards.
Special Features in lord card:
Rocket: Refers to a pair of kings (big and small kings), which are the highest-ranking cards.
Bomb: Four cards with the same rank, such as four 8s. Bombs are smaller than rockets but bigger than regular cards. Bombs with stronger ranks, such as 2 > A > K.
Small Joker > Big Joker.
The number of coins will influence the council, and the amount of gold will determine the winnings or losses. For example, if you win 100 coins, you bring 50 coins. Since you can lose up to 50 coins, it’s fair to say that you can win a maximum of 50 coins, not 100.
