Deal and setup
Use a 32-card deck from seven to ace. Every player starts with four cards; the stock and one face-up card remain in the middle.
How to play — step by step
- Club Prší uses 32 cards, four per player. Be the first to discard all your cards. Play the same suit or rank as the top card; an Ober lets you change the suit.
- A seven adds two penalty cards; another seven increases the penalty. An ace skips a turn; another ace passes it on. An Ober cannot counter a penalty. Drawing or passing ends your turn.
- The initial face-up card does not trigger a penalty. Discarding your last card ends the game immediately, even if it is a special card. Club score: −1 for each card left in your hand.
- With a French-suited deck, Q replaces the Ober and J the Unter. You cannot play a card after drawing in the same turn. If play remains blocked for two full circuits, the player with the fewest cards wins; tied players share the victory.
Important rules to remember
Play example
The top card is a seven. If you play another seven, the next player faces a larger draw penalty. You may not cancel it with an Ober.
