==== GAME RULES FOR SWEEP ====
The dealer deals six cards face downwards to each player, and the next
four cards face up in a row to the center of the table. If any Jacks are
dealt to the table they are removed and placed in the deck.
Non-dealer plays first. If he plays a card of the same rank as one or
more cards on the table, he claims the card or cards on the table. If
he plays a card whose rank is the sum of two or more of the cards on
the table, he claims both or all. In other words, he can claim all
cards or combinations of cards of equal value to the card he plays.
For this purpose a King counts 14, a Queen 13 and an Ace 11.
Non-court cards have their pip values. Jacks have a special function,
as will be seen.
EXAMPLE: CARDS ON TABLE ARE K-2-5-7-3
If you play a KING, You make take the K,2,5,7
The card played by the player and those taken by him he keeps together
and they wil later contribute to his score.
If, however, he cannot play a card that will claim any from the table,
the card he plays is added to the row on the table, and the dealer has
his turn.
If at any time a player clears the table by taking all the remaining
cards (there might, in fact, be only one) he scores SWEEP ,and gets
a bonus of the total value of the cards he takes plus the card he
played.
Playing a Jack allows a player to claim all the cards from the table,
but does not allow him the bonus score for SWEEP.
When the table is cleared the next player is forced to play his next
card to the table since there aren't any cards he can claim.This strategy
could easily allow the next palyer to score a SWEEP.
Players play in turn until all six cards in their hands have been
played, whereupon dealer deals each six more cards (but none to the
table) and play continues thus until the pack is exhausted. A dealer,
therefore, will deal four times during a hand. When the last six cards
have been played by both players the cards remaining on the table belong
to the player who last took a card from the table.
After each player has dealt twice, the total points for each player are
added for each category below:
1) ONE POINT FOR EACH ACE,KING ,QUEEN,JACK,TEN
2) FOR EACH ROUND, ONE POINT FOR EACH CARD COUNT GREATER THAN
YOUR OPPONENTS
3) ALL SWEEPS
The player with the high score is then declared the winner.
When it is your turn, you can make a play by
1) LEFT CLICK ON A CARD IN YOUR HAND
2) CLICK ON ALL THE CARDS YOU WISH TO PICK UP
3) CLICK ON THE DONE BUTTON
To discard,simply RIGHT CLICK on a card in your hand.
