Playing 13th

13 game & Posoy

For our class assignment we ended up playing a card game called 13 and also the Filipino version Po-soy. I was new to the game an the rules and for the assignment we had to be actively be following the rules for this game. In 13 the purpose of the game was to be the first one to have no more cards in ones deck. The player had to use strategy on which card to give. The rules consist of
The game is for four players. A standard 52 card deck is used; there are no Jokers and no wild cards. It is possible for two or three to play. It can also be played by more than four players, using two 52 card packs shuffled together.
The game is normally dealt and played clockwise, but can be played anticlockwise instead if the players agree in advance to do so.
The ranking of the cards is: Two (highest), Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three (lowest).
Within each rank there is also an order of suits: Hearts (highest), Diamonds, Clubs, Spades (lowest).
So the 3 of Spades is the lowest card in the pack, and the 2 of Hearts is the highest. Rank is more important than suit, so for example the 8 beats the 7.
