Descrizione
Cucumber is a kind of trick-taking game, in which the object is not to win the last trick. To make this more difficult, there is a rule that in each trick players must either overtake or sacrifice their lowest card. To be safe from losing, you therefore need not only a low card for the last trick, but also high cards for overtaking, so that your low card(s) do not have to be given up prematurely.
Come si gioca
Cucumber Card Game is played with an ordinary deck of 52 cards. From 2 to 7 players participate. The cards are ranked from high to low A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, ..., 2; the suits have no significance. Cards are shuffled by the dealer and then dealt 7 at a time, face down, clockwise, starting with forehand (i.e., the player to the left of the dealer). The cards that are not dealt are set aside and seen by no one.
Seven tricks are played. The cards played are simply placed on the table face-up in front of each player; the cards are neither collected nor turned over after each trick. Any player may inspect any of the cards played to previous tricks. Forehand leads to the first trick; the winner of each trick leads to the next trick. Once a card is led, the remaining players each play a card to the trick in clockwise rotation. The lead can be chosen freely. The other players in turn have a choice between: playing any card whose rank is at least as high as the highest card so far played to the trick, or playing their lowest ranking card. The highest ranking card wins the trick; if there are several of these, the last of them to be played wins the trick.
The turn to deal passes clockwise after each hand. If the player whose turn it should be to deal has been eliminated from the game (see scoring), then the dealer is the next player in rotation who is still in the game.
