How Beggar-my-neighbour is played here
The rules this table deals by. Everybody at the table sees the same lines before the first hand.
- The pack is dealt out face down. Nobody looks at their cards, their own included.
- An ace, king, queen or jack is a demand: the next player pays four, three, two or one card.
- A court card turned up while paying stops the payment dead and turns the demand round on the player after.
- Plain cards all the way through, and the heap goes to whoever demanded it. Some deals never end at all, which is why the table agrees a number of heaps in advance.
How it works
- Open a table. It gets a short code of its own.
- Read the code out, or send the link. Anyone you send it to sits down as a guest, without an account.
- Deal once everyone is seated — or give each empty chair a bot and start now.
