CARD QUARTET

In this game there is something from Rummy and from UNO. And there and there you need to somehow collect combinations of cards. In the Card Quartet everything is built on combinations. But more about them later. Cards in this game are used not ordinary, but special. There are only 32 of them in the deck. There are 8 suits and they are indicated by the Latin letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. The number of cards in each suit is 4, they are numbered with numbers from 1 to 4.

Four players take part in the game. In this case, it is you and 3 computer players-robots (bots). The entire deck is dealt equally at once, that is, 8 cards each. The goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards by collecting as many quartets as possible. A quartet is a combination of 4 cards of the same suit, for example: A1, A2, A3 and A4. For its assembly, the player gets 40 points. Next, we will tell you about the game mechanism and moves.

On their turn, the player can request any card they need from any opponent. If the requested card is in the possession of the chosen opponent, the opponent must immediately hand it over. In this case, the player who receives the desired card has the right turn. If, after receiving a card, a player declares a collected quartet by placing all 4 matching cards on the table, then the player's turn also remains. If there is no requested card, then the move is passed clockwise.

What kind of card should I ask for and from whom? Well, first of all, you can always see your hand, that is, you can understand which or which cards you do not have enough to build a quartet. Secondly, you have access to the records of all previous moves (the log) of your and your opponents, and after analyzing this information, you can understand who exactly may not have the card you need, and who may have it. Often, especially in the second half of the game, when several quartets have already been collected, based on the log, you can tell with 100% probability who has which card.

After completing the tour, that is, assembling all the quartets, you move on to the next one. Try to collect more quartets in each round, being ahead of your opponents in this indicator.
