Rules

1. The game is played with Bridge playing cards (52 Cards) & 3 Jokers => 55 Cards in total.
2. The minimum amount of players is 2 and the maximum is 7.
3. The player that shuffles and deals the cards in the beginning can start to play cards.
4. After the first round, where the dealer/shuffler is chosen randomly, the winner of the last round is always chosen (from now on called Player 1).
5. The suits of the cards are not relevant and only the rank is.
6. Player 1 can play any card he likes. He is allowed to play multiple cards but only if the cards are of the same rank and if one card remains in his hand.
7. Each Player has to play the same amount of cards than Player 1. They are only allowed to play cards that are all higher or same than the highest card that was played previously. If they are unable to play a card with a higher or same rank they have to play their lowest cards.
8. The Players are always allowed to play their lowest cards.
9. A round consists of multiple cycles where each player gets to take one turn.
10. The starting player for each cycle is the player that played the highest(most recent) card in the last cycle or in the first cycle of a round it is Player 1.
11. A round is played until every Player only has one card remaining.
12. After every round the remaining card is compared with the other players and the players with the highest card have to add the rank of the card to their penalty. Each player starts with a penalty of zero.
13. The player with the lowest card wins this round and is now Player 1 for the next one. If multiple players have the same card of the lowest rank then each player picks a card from the remaining deck and the one with the lowest card will be Player 1 (randomly chosen).
14. If all players have the same last card after a round, every player gets his card rank as a penalty and a random Player 1 is chosen for the next round.
15. If a Player reaches a penalty with a value more than 21 he is no longer allowed to play and is out of the game.
16. Every game starts with 7 cards for each player and after every round this value is decreased by one until 1 card is reached(this is like a penalty for random players). After that the amount of cards dealt starts increasing by one again.
17. The last player that is left with a penalty lower than or equal to 21 wins the game.
18. If a player leaves during a cycle, he will be removed from the game after this cycle. The cycle is finished normally by the other players.
19. If a player leaves before a cycle was started, he will be removed from the game and will not participate in any round or cycle anymore.
20. If multiple players finish with the same card and a different penalty higher than 21 the one with the lower penalty wins the game.
21. If multiple players finish with the same card and the same penalty higher than 21 the winner is chosen by random.
22. If the dealer cannot deal the amount of cards corresponding to the rounds played because there already exist too many penalty cards he decreases the amount to be dealt until he is able to deal the same amount to each player.
