Game rules

Preparation: A deck of playing cards, remove the jokers and shuffle them evenly. First turn over nine cards face up, each as a card pile; the remaining cards are used as a draw pile. A is the smallest, J=11, Q=12, K=13.

  1. When it is your turn, choose any card pile and guess whether the next card in the drawn pile will be larger or smaller than the top card in the pile.
  2. Draw a card and put it into the selected deck. When you guess correctly, you can continue to choose any card pile to challenge, or you can stop and change to the next one.
  3. If you guess wrong, the unit you drink is equal to the current total number of cards in the deck, and then the entire deck is removed and replaced with the next one.
  4. The new card with the same number as the original card is called "hitting the pillar": drink twice the total number of cards in that pile, then remove the pile and replaced with the next one.
  5. After all nine card piles have been removed, the game ends.

Example:The top card of a certain card pile is 7. If you guess the high card and turn it over to 10, your guess is correct. If you turn over 4, you guess wrong. If you turn over 7 again, you will hit the pillar.
