These are the official rules of Ace Game. Read carefully to understand gameplay, turns, and winning conditions.
1. Game Setup
From a standard deck of 52 cards, 5 cards are dealt to each player one at a time in rotation.
The remaining cards are placed face down on the table (non-disclosed).
The server randomly selects the start player for fairness.
2. Gameplay
The start player begins the round by playing any card from their hand.
Other players must play a card of the same suit if available. If they don’t have the suit, they draw cards from the deck one by one until they get the required suit.
If the required suit is still not available after drawing all cards, it is considered a “red day”:
The player may smash the table with any card.
All cards in that round are awarded to the player with the highest card of the required suit.
The game continues even after the table deck ends. Players without the required suit may smash the table with any card.
Card Problem / Superover:
If at the end of the game, 2 or more players have different suit cards totaling 3 or more, a “card problem” condition is triggered.
Extra cards are distributed to each player to equalize the number of cards in hand so that the game can continue fairly.
Example: If Player 1 has 1 card and Player 2 has 2 cards, Player 1 will receive 4 extra cards, and Player 2 will receive 3 extra cards.
This ensures that all players have an equal number of cards before finishing the game.
3. Completing the Game
If a player has no cards in hand and the table deck is empty, they have completed the game.
If other players are still playing, the player next to the last completed player becomes the start player for the next round.
If a completed player smashed the table with a different card, the next player in sequence starts the next round.
4. Winning and Losing
The last player remaining is considered the loser.
All players who have completed the game are considered winners, with no ranking between them.
Special Case: If the last round occurs and each player has only one card, and all cards are of the same suit, the player with the highest number card is considered the loser.
