Pesten With Cards

Pesten With Cards, a classic Dutch card game literally translating to "Bullying with Cards," offers a thrilling card-shedding experience. Similar games exist worldwide, including Mau-Mau, Crazy Eights, and Uno. The objective? Be the first to discard all your cards. A crucial rule: players must declare "Last Card" before playing their final card; forgetting this incurs a two-card penalty.

Gameplay utilizes one or more decks, potentially including Jokers. Each player receives seven cards, with the remainder forming a draw pile. The top card of the draw pile is revealed to begin play. Players take turns (clockwise) playing cards matching the number or suit of the top card on the discard pile. Jokers and Jacks are exceptions, playable on any card. Unable to play? Draw a card from the draw pile. If playable, you may choose to play it immediately.

The "Last Card" Rule:

When down to one card, tap the "Last Card" button. Failing to do so before playing your last card results in a two-card penalty and forfeits the win. Incorrectly declaring "Last Card" also triggers the penalty. The button is accessible regardless of whose turn it is. Note: special cards (detailed below) cannot be used as the winning card.

Special Cards and Their Actions:

Card actions are customizable, reflecting regional variations. The following actions are implemented:

• Joker: The next player draws five cards. Subsequent Jokers increase the penalty by five cards per Joker played. Drawing cards prevents further play that turn.

• Two: The next player draws two cards. Subsequent Twos add two more cards to the penalty, accumulating with each played Two. If enabled, Jokers can be played on Twos, adding a five-card penalty. Twos cannot be played on Jokers. Drawing cards prevents further play that turn.

• Seven: The current player must play another card. Remember to declare "Last Card" if applicable. Failure to play results in drawing a card.

• Eight: The next player skips their turn. In two-player games, this allows the current player another turn.

• Ten: Each player passes a card to the player on their left.
