Hi I’m looking for the name or instructions for a card game. This is what iv been told but feels like I’m missing something.
Looking for a card game apparently called “kings”
everyone dealt 4 cards each and always only has 4 cards in hand at a time
Can only look at 2 of your cards at the start of each round.
Take turns either taking a card from the top of the deck or from the discard pile but you need to put down a card from your hand
Idea is to get the lowest score possible. King is worth 0. Ace is 1. Jack, Queen are 10. Joker is 50 and as soon as it is flipped onto the table the round is over
First to 100 loses
Round is ended by either the joker being place on the pile or when someone knocks on the table. Everyone else gets one more go after someone knocks. You knock When you think you’ve got a pretty good low score and want to wrap up the round before others have a chance to swap out some of their cards for a lower score
Iv read the rules for kabo but I don’t think it’s quiet the same
