Game Rules

A deck of 32 sheets, cards from 7 to Ace. The number of players is 4. The card which is called “King” is the king of hearts.

Each player receives eight cards. The first player is determined randomly. The game takes place in two stages: in the first stage players receive penalty points only, in the second stage they recoup.

The First Stage (“Penalty”)

There are no trumps. The dealer plays any card and all the other players must follow that suit unless they do not hold any card of that suit. The winner of the trick is the highest card of the suit played at the start of the trick.

1. ”No Tricks”. The aim is not to win tricks. The winner restarts play with any card and so on until all the cards have been played. Points: -2/-16.

2. “No Hearts”. The aim is not to win tricks with Hearts. A player must not start a trick with Hearts unless he holds no other suit. If a player cannot follow suit he can then play any card, including Hearts. Points: -2/-16.

3. “No Boys”. The aim is not to win tricks with Kings (or Kings or Jacks, depends on game settings). Points: -4(-2)/-16.

4. “No Queens”. The aim is not to win tricks with Queens. Points: -2/-16.

5. “No King of Hearts”. The aim is not to get the King of Hearts. A player must not start a trick with Hearts unless he holds no other suit. Important: if the corresponding option is set, the King of Hearts must be played at the first legal opportunity, meaning when the holder cannot follow suit or at the first time Hearts is used to open a trick. The King of Hearts is worth 16 negative points.

6. “No last 2 tricks”. The aim is not to win the last 2 tricks. Each of those last two tricks is worth 8 negative points and the total for the hand is 16 negative points.

7. “Don't take anything”. Each player will get penalty points for every previous hand (no Queens, no King of Hearts etc.). A player must not start a trick with Hearts unless he holds no other suit. Important: if the corresponding option is set, the King of Hearts must be played at the first legal opportunity, meaning when the holder cannot follow suit or at the first time Hearts is used to open a trick. The total for the hand is 96 negative points.

The Second Stage (“Wagering”)

In the second stage the players are trying to gain the positive points.

There are two options for “wagering”: the Short King and the Trumps King.

In the second stage of the “Short” version the same 7 games are played (as in the first stage), with the exception that the player gets positive points instead of negative points.

The Trump games are played four times. After three cards are dealt, each of the four players can choose a suit which will be a trump card in the current game. The aim is to win the tricks. The dealer plays any card and all the other players must follow that suit unless they do not hold any card of that suit. The winner of the trick is the highest card of the suit played at the start of the trick. A player must not start a trick with Trump unless he holds no other suit; the Trump must be played at the first legal opportunity, meaning when the holder cannot follow suit (except of player who selects the Trump). The winner restarts play with any card and so on until all the cards have been played. Each trick card is worth 3 points and the total for the hand is 24 points.

The “Long” King

Each player chooses one of 14 games (7 “penalty” and 7 “positive”). Thus, in this version of King 56 games will be played (no trumps).
