The interpretation and pair of example games of tonk, below, were written by John P. Setup : Using a standard 52 card poker deck, the dealer deals each player five cards. The remaining cards become the draw pile. The top card from the draw pile is placed face up next to the draw pile to become the discard pile. Determine the amount of the payoff. This can be whatever the players wish, i.
A player has TONK if the total of the cards in their hands is 15 or less, or greater than 48, i. Each face card [jack, queen, or king] is worth 10, aces are worth 1, and all other cards have a value equal to their number, e.
If no players have TONK, then normal play proceeds to the left of the dealer. A player can only get TONK immediately after cards have been delt. Later in the game, the value of their hands may be less than 15 or greater than 48, but it isn't a TONK.
Once play has begun, a players has two options to choose from, and can choose one or the other, but not both during their current turn. The first option is called Going Down, and is an attempt to win the game.
To go down, the player drops his cards and announces the total value of his cards. If, however, he doesn't have the lowest point value, then he must pay each player who has a point value that is equal or lower than his own DOUBLE the payoff. Everyone else must pay the person, or persons in case of ties, with the lowest total the normal payoff.
In the second option, the player must take either the top card from the draw pile or the top card from the discard pile into his hand. Afterwards, if a player has three of a kind, four of a kind, or a spread of three or more cards of the same suit in numerical order [order is Ace One Two Ten Jack Queen King] like a straight flush he may put those cards out of his hand in front of him. Cards put out in this manner no longer count towards the total value of the player's hand.
Also, a player may add to any spreads already on the table at either end of the spread, even other those in front of other players. A player may not add to three of a kinds already on the table. If a player manages to get rid of all his cards during his turn, he is the winner and all other players pay him the payoff. Meet or beat : players my choose to implement the rule that they may meet or beat the rank of the leading card in play in this case suits become a new secondary power level to consider.
Suits : if players choose to implement the meet or beat rule to single card play, they must implement suits as a new power system it is as follows Weakest to strongest : Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades Therefore when a player attempts to meet the leading card, it actually has to out rank it's suit ie Claire plays a Jack of diamonds and Sarah meets it with a Jack or spades However if a player attempts to meet the card and is of a lower suit they miss a turn ie Jim plays an 8 of clubs, and Larry tries to meet it with an 8 of hearts, he forgets this is a lower suit and Larry has to miss his turn.
Blind betting : Players can before seeing their own hands and beginning gameplay, set an amount that is put in the pot by each player. Round by round : players can start by placing an initial bet at the start of the game and again after each round either based on the how strong they think their hand is, how well they're going in the game and of corse bluffing.
Big balls : After cards are dealt, players view their hands and go round the table setting seeing or raising bets based on the strength of their hand and their skill, until a final pot is reached and then gameplay commences to see if the players can put their money where their mouth is. Drinks : the simplest most common and friendliest form of a bet, the loser buys the next round of drinks at the bar. Best used as a best of 3 or 5 etc.
But this game is perfectly enjoyable without betting. Card Game Wiki Explore. Wiki Content. Explore Wikis Community Central.
