I believe the app needs an update that reflects the different styles of play. I’ve been taught the NBA rules with the game beginning by each player drawing a card. The player that draws the highest card deals the first hand. Each player then enters the agreed upon ante. The dealer begins distributing cards their left one-by-one until everyone has five. The dealer is allowed to turnover any of their five cards announcing it as the trump as long as they have not looked at their hand. Once the cards have been dealt, the player that received the first card decides whether or not they want to play the hand. You’re allowed to receive five new cards or fold. The decision then moves around the table and back to the dealer. The first person to the dealer’s left plays a card of their choice. The following player must then play a card of the same suit or a trump. If you do not not have a trump to cut the suit that led, you play the next best card to keep you from being booed. Typically, this signifies they have no trumps or have possibly reneged. The hand is won when a player receives the most books/tricks or a tie has a occurred. If a player has no books/tricks at the end of the hand, that player must ante whatever the pot was. *** The group that I play with has altered what we’ve been taught when one person has received all five of the books. This has been deemed “double-boo” which allows the winner to receive the pot and forces the remaining players to pay the pot, too. Therefore, those players that did not get on (receive a book/trick) have to ante what was in the previous hand and give the same amount to the winner. *** If a hand results in a tie/push, each eligible player enters the initial ante that started the game regardless of how many books/tricks you received the previous hand. This continues until a winner is decided. Once a player can no longer ante, they’re escorted off of the premises (i.e. ridiculed, drowned with laughter and embarrassment).
Please make it more interactive so that we’re able to play against other users. All of my associates that use the app have android phones so it seems they’re able to experience more from their platforms when using this app.
