Kristoon vs Kalookiville

Kristoon is a variation on the classic Blackjack/Pontoon theme where the objective is to get as close to but without exceeding a total of twenty-one. But Kristoon differs in that players can: ⁃ Only have a maximum of three cards ⁃ Offer a card to their opponents with the aim of bettering their hand ⁃ Swap an offered card to one in their own to better their hand Of course, an offered card runs the risk of being swapped for something else (and you will get that one back) or of being rejected by all your opponents so you get it back. Winners of the hand are awarded points (10 for Royal, 5 for Blackjack or 3 for nearest 21 otherwise. Matches are a set number of hands. Refreshingly easy to pick-up!

This game is ideal for 3-6 players and suitable for Ages 8+ and Adults A minimum deck of two standard 52 card packs including four jokers is used to start the game for 3-4 players, with one new deck each added for additional players. The objective of the game is to win by laying down all your card contracts specific to the round being played. There are four rounds in Regular Kalooki - “333”, “334”, “344”, “444”. A "THREE" is a set of three or more cards of the same rank, such as 5-5-5 or K-K-K-K-K. The suits of the cards do not matter and duplicates can be included. A "four" is a run of four or more consecutive cards in the same suit, such as 8-9-10-J-Q. Aces can be high or low but can only be used at the end of a run, not in the interior, so A-2-3-4 and J-Q-K-A are valid, but K-A-2-3 is not. Jokers can be used as wildcards to substitute for any card in a “3” or “4”, with specific restrictions. Once someone wins the round, all the other players must total the penalty value of the cards they have in hand. The penalty value of the cards are Joker (50 points), Black Ace (15 points), King/Queen/Jack/Ten (10 points), 2 to 9 (face value), Red Ace (1 point).
