斗地主规则(英文)

Fight the Landlord

Problem Description

Fight the Landlord (

斗地主

) is a card game for three players. In each hand one

player

, the

peasants). The landlord's aim is to be the first to play out all his cards in valid

combinations, and the team wins if any one of them manages to play all their

cards before the landlord.

A complete deck consists of 52 standard cards plus 2 jokers, red and black.

The cards rank from high to low: R(Red Joker), B(Black joker), 2, A, K, Q, J,

T(10), 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3. Each rank of standard card has 4 cards.

The landlord plays first, and may play a single card or any legal combination.

Each subsequent player in anticlockwise order must either pass (play no card)

or

beat

the

previous

play

by

playing

a

higher

combination

of

the

same

number of cards and same type. There are just two exceptions to this: a

rocket

can

beat

any

combination,

and

a

bomb

can

beat

any

combination

except a higher bomb or rocket - see definitions below.

In this game, there are thirteen types of combination that can be played:

1.

Single card

- ranking from 3 (low) up to red joker (high) as explained

above.

2.

two

cards

of

the

same

rank,

from

(low)

up

to

(high),

for

example 3-3, A-A.

3.

Triplet

- three cards of the same rank, for example 9-9-9.

4.

Triplet with an attached card

- a triplet with a single card added, the

single card must be different from the triplet, for example 6-6-6-8. These

rank

according

to

the

rank

of

the

triplet

-

so

for

example

9-9-9-3

beats

8-8-8-A.

5.

Triplet with an attached pair

- a triplet with a pair added, the ranking

being determined by the rank of the triplet - for example Q-Q-Q-6-6 beats

10-10-10-K-K.

example 8-9-10-J-Q. 2 and jokers cannot be used.

to A. 2 and jokers cannot be used. For example 10-10-J-J-Q-Q-K-K.

up to A. 2 cannot be used. For example 4-4-4-5-5-5.
