Badam Satti (Fan Tan)(Seven Of Hearts)(Parliament)

Это одна из самых популярных домашних игр в Индии.

Domino, also known as Card Dominoes, Spoof, Sevens, Fan Tan (US) or Parliament (UK), is a card game of the Eights group for 3–7 players in which players aim to shed cards by matching the preceding ones or, if unable, must draw from the stock. Cards are played out to form a layout of sequences going up and down in suit from the agreed starting card (e.g. a Seven or an Unter). The game is won by the player who is first to empty his or her hand. The game is a cross between dominoes and patience and is suitable for children who have learned the various card values.

Domino variants are played with 32- or 52-card packs and French- or German-suited cards.

Rules-

All cards are dealt with the players, even if as a result some players have one card more than others. The first player begins by leading a card of the agreed rank, say, a Jack or Unter to the table. The next player must then play a Ten or a Queen/Ober of the same suit. Subsequently, players must either add a card of the same suit and one higher or one lower than the sequence of cards on the table. Players may also play another Jack or Unter to start a new suit sequence. A player who cannot place a card passes.

The player who is first to shed his cards wins; play usually continues to determine who is second, third, etc.

Scoring, if desired, can be done by simply counting the remaining cards in players' hands. Other methods of scoring such as counting the remaining pips (Jacks, Queens, and Kings each contributing 10, Aces contributing 15) may lead to greater attention to high-scoring cards. Alternatively, points may be awarded or deducted depending on the order in which players 'go out'.

The game is well suited for parties of mixed ages; with small children, it can be played until all players have finished.
