The trick-taking genre of card games is one of the most common varieties, found in every part of the world. The following is a list of trick-taking games by type of pack:
Polignac (a.k.a. Jeux des Valets) is a French 18th century trick-taking card game ancestral to Hearts and Black Maria. [1] It is played by 3-6 players with a 32-card deck. It is sometimes played as a party game with the 52-card pack; however, it is better as a serious game for four, playing all against all.
The performer takes a deck of cards, and places on the table two face-up "marker" cards, one black and one red; the black on the left and the red on the right.The performer tells the spectator that he or she is going to deal cards face-down from the deck and the object of the exercise is for the subject to use their intuition to identify whether each card in the deck is black or red.
Games are for 3 to 7 players with 18 rounds during which players score 10 points for making a correct bid and one point for each trick taken. Bidding and taking no tricks earns 10 points, correctly taking one trick earns 11 points, two tricks 12 and so on. The dealer turns over a card for each participant to see who bids first.
Card manipulation is often used to perform card tricks in magical performances, especially in close-up, parlor, and street magic. A person who practices card manipulation may be called a card sharp , card shark, or card mechanic.
