For this four-player game, the highest value card is two. The suits also play a part, where the weakest is diamonds, followed by clubs, hearts, and spades. The person with the lowest card (three of diamonds) will start, and to play, you need to discard a card that is of a higher value. If you don\u2019t have one (or want to keep your higher value cards for later in the game), you can pass your turn. It takes a while to pick up the strategy for this game. But once you do, you\u2019ll be a pro in no time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Difficulty level:\u00a0<\/strong>Medium<br \/>\n<strong>Great for:<\/strong> Four players who enjoy strategic thinking<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-mahjong\"><\/span>2.

If it is, congrats! Deal out a penalty to another player. If it\u2019s not? Everyone else will have to come up with a penalty for you.

All you have to do is add the value of your cards to get a number. To win, your hand\u2019s value must be higher than the dealer\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>The dealer will distribute two cards to each player. Add the numbers together, which will give your hand a value of one to nine. For double digit sums, take the ending number as the value.

The best part is stripping away the complicated casino rules! Once you assign a dealer, the cards are shuffled. You may also be asked to cut the deck (just to make sure there\u2019s no cheating), and everyone places their bets before the cards are dealt.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to hit as close to 21 as possible without going over (aka bursting). You can draw additional cards to hit this number. But be wary since that increases your chances of bursting. There are also situations where you can surrender or split your cards depending on what you have.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Difficulty level:\u00a0<\/strong>Easy<br \/>\n<strong>Great for:<\/strong> A classic Chinese New Year game for big groups<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-chinese-new-year-trivia\"><\/span>9.
