BLUFF 30

The Objective of Bluff 30:

Get together with 2-4 players per deck, When playing try to reach the round's target number by drawing cards. For the first round, the target number is 30. Each of the next 4 rounds adds 5 points to the target goal per round. 30-->35-->40-->45-->50. 50 points signal the last round and whichever player has accumulated the most points wins.

Card Values:

-numbers are their numerical value

-K and Q worth 10 points

-A is worth 1 point

Rules:

-The First 2 cards dealt are face down, every time you draw a card it will be drawn face up.

-Cards are drawn clockwise during rounds.

-After receiving your cards face down you add the values of the cards together and draw until you reach the target goal of the round or as close as you can.

-You can hit or stand, once you stand that round is done. Everyone reveals their cards after the remaining players draw or stand. 

How winning rounds works:

-When 4 people play there are 20 points to be earned each round, it is broken down like this.

 -Game with 4 people example. 1st place 8 points, 2nd 6 points, 3rd 4 points, 4th 2 points etc. 

-The winner of the round always draws the first card next round. (clockwise card draw rotation follows)

-First place of the round is whoever is closest to the target card number. (bluffs included)

What is a Bluff?

-If during a round a player goes over that round's target goal when drawing a card,  they will not be eliminated but if an opposing player believes that player has gone over they can call their bluff.

Example- A player is playing with three friends and was dealt two kings, when pulling the first card the player receives a 9 meaning he is one point away from his goal. When choosing to take or stand he takes and receives a Queen.  An opposing player gets suspicious and calls the player's bluff. Since the player was caught bluffing he loses 2 points from the round score, and the player who called the bluff adds 2 points to their round total.

Rewards for calling people's bluff/bluffing and going over:

If a player successfully calls someone's bluff the player who called it earns 2 points.

Meanwhile, if a player gets their bluff called it results in a loss of 2 points for them.

If you call a bluff with no bluff you lose 1 point.

(if a bluff is called but the person is still closest to the goal they get first place points minus the 2 bluff points. If no one calls the winner's bluff he gets first place without 2 points taken away.)

Ending a round:

-Once one person stands everyone gets one more turn to either stand or hit, then cards are revealed.

-Once someone calls someone's bluff finish the round and reveal cards.

Winning the game:

-To win the game you must have the highest score among the other players, at the end of the five rounds.

-Keep a running tally of each other's points as the rounds progress.

-A perfect game among four friends would be 50 points. The breakdown is winning 1st every round and calling someone's bluff each round.
