Each player tries to get as many lowscore cards in his hand as possible — thus aces, counting only as one. are at a premium, with twos, threes, fours. etc., very gratifying to have. Picture cards, of course, are persona non if you are caught at the end without having them in sequence or in a bundle of three or four of a kind.
Here's where the real action begins: Regardless of whether or not a pi li.i filled all the sequences and tin ees or fours of a kind, he may "lay down" his hand at any time he believes he i lower score in his hand than his opponent has.
Thus a player may lay down: Three of a kind; a sequence of four, such as eight, nine. ten. jack spades; and have an ace, a thi< a four left over. In that case, only these eight points count against him.
But his worthy opponent, on this
showdown play, maj actually I
r points in his hand than the person who lays down the hand. For instance, this individual may have three fours, three nines, a six and seven of spades and an ace.
He is accorded the privilege of playing on the cards laid down hi/ the first person. Thus No. 2 may play his six and seven of spades on No. l's run of spades. Then, with only an ace left from his hand counting one po
nst him, No. 2 is seven points to the good over No. 1.
The most dramatic play of the game
i "The Blitzkrieg," in which one
player lays down a hand that has
entirely completed. In this
he gets not only all the points Caught in his opponent's hand, hut an additional bonus of ten points for
"The Blitzkrieg" play. Game is one hundred points, Cards
are counted for their lace value. Picture cards are counted ten apiece.
