Boodle Card Game

Objective:

Boodle card game requires you to get rid of the cards in your hand and to play a money card and collect from the the cards in the middle.

The Cards:

Use a standard 52 card deck, plus the  Ace,  K,  Q, and  J from another deck, which make up the money cards. Cards are ranked Ace (high) to 2 (low). Poker chips are required or other counters to play. This game is played with three to eight players.

Dealing:

Anyone can be the first dealer. Dealer passes out cards until one player receives a Jack, play goes clockwise. After the dealer places four cards face up in the center of the table, the dealer puts two chips on each card while the other players place one chip on each of the cards. The dealer then deals cards, one at a time, clockwise. One extra hand (dead hand) is dealt to the dealer’s left. All cards are dealt even if players don’t have the same number of cards.

How to Play:

Boodle card game starts when the player to the left of the dead hand starts play by placing the lowest ranked card of any suit face up in front of him/her and calling out the rank and suit. The player with the next highest card in that suit does the same. Play goes on with players saying the suit and rank of each played card aloud until the Ace of that suit is played or a card from the dead hand ends play. Example: If the first card played is the  4, the next card must be the  5, and the next card the  6, and so on. The player who plays the last card resumes the game by showing the lowest card of a new suit. If this player doesn’t have a card in another suit, the player to his/her left resumes play.

Any time a player displays one of the money cards;  Ace,  K,  Q, or  J that player collects the chips off of that Boodle card. As soon as you play all cards in your hand, play ends, and each opponent must give you one chip for each card in his/her hand. The chips on the cards that haven’t been taken during play are left on the Boodle throughout the next deals until these cards are matched. After each hand, players place chips on all Boodle cards. A large pile of chips could mount on any Boodle card.

Instructions on Misplaying:

If you don’t follow with the lowest card in your hand, you must instantly pay a chip to the other players, and subsequently you can’t collect the Boodle card game until that hand ends.
