Kash LIVE: Card Game

Choose a suit. Read the table. Make your next card count. Kash LIVE: Card Game puts a four-seat trick-taking table in front of you. Watch each card, follow the chosen trump suit, and work toward the winning team total. Here is how a deal works in this game, from the first five cards to the final result. FOUR SEATS, TWO TEAMS You and the player opposite you form one team. The other two seats form the opposing team. A standard deck of 52 cards is used, with no Jokers, and each player receives 13 cards. Your team's total combines the tricks won by both partners, so every trick belongs to a side as well as its winner. CHOOSE FROM FOUR SUITS One player is selected to choose trump. That player first sees five cards from their own hand, then chooses one of the four suits. Look at the ranks and suits in those opening cards before making the choice. Once the suit is chosen, the rest of the hand is revealed to each player. The selected trump suit stays the same throughout the deal. The player who chooses trump also plays the first card. That opening play sets the suit that the other players must follow for the current trick. Turns move clockwise around the four seats, with each player contributing one card from their own hand. FOLLOW THE OPENING SUIT The suit of the first card matters on every turn. If you still hold that suit, you must play it. If you have none of that suit left, you may play any card in your hand, including a trump. The freedom to choose a different suit comes only when you cannot follow the opening suit. - Check the suit of the opening card. - Look through your hand for that suit. - Follow it when you can; otherwise choose any remaining card. - Wait for all four plays to see which side takes the trick. HOW A TRICK IS WON Once four cards have been played, the winner is decided by suit and rank. If any trump cards are on the table, the highest trump wins. When no trump is played, the highest card of the opening suit wins instead. A high rank in a different, non-trump suit does not beat the opening suit. Ranks run from Ace down to Two: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Compare rank within the suit that can win the trick. A lower trump can beat a higher card from another suit, while two trumps are compared by rank. This makes both the chosen suit and the opening play worth watching. The winner adds one trick to their team's total and leads the next trick. That new lead sets a fresh opening suit. Keep track of who won the previous trick: the next opening card comes from that seat, rather than automatically returning to the player who opened the deal. For example, if clubs lead and hearts are trump, a heart can win against a higher club. You may only play that heart when you have no club left. If another player also plays a heart, the higher heart wins. If everyone follows clubs, the highest club takes the trick. Apply the same check to each new opening card. KEEP THE TABLE IN VIEW Your hand sits along the bottom of the table, with the ranks and suits visible. Each played card appears between the four seats. The suit indicator keeps the chosen suit in view, and a highlighted play helps you follow what is happening on the table. Compare the two score panels as the trick totals change. PLAY THROUGH ALL 13 TRICKS The deal continues until all 13 tricks have been played. Reaching seven does not end play early. At the end, the two team totals add up to 13, and the team with seven or more wins. A single deal makes up the match in this game, so the final trick totals determine the result without a tied finish. SEE THE RESULT AND PLAY AGAIN The result panel shows your team's trick total alongside the opponents' total. Compare the two sides after the last card, then use the Play Again button for another deal. Each new deal has its own result. From choosing trump to following suit and counting tricks, the next decision begins with the cards in front of you.
