How to play Agram
- 1Agram comes from Nigeria. It uses 35 cards: ace, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 of each suit, minus the ace of spades. Aces are high, then 10 down to 3.
- 2Everyone gets 6 cards; the rest stay face down, unused. The player left of the dealer leads the first trick.
- 3Follow the suit that was led if you can; if you can't, play any card. There are no trumps: the highest card of the suit led takes the trick, and its winner leads the next one.
- 4Only the 6th and last trick counts. Whoever takes it scores a point; the other tricks are just the road there. So save a strong card, and try to be the one leading at the end.
- 5The first player to 5 points wins.
