How to play Cangkulan
- 1A follow-suit shedding game from Indonesia. Everyone gets seven cards and the rest make the stock. Aces are high.
- 2The top card of the stock is turned face up to start the first trick. Starting left of the dealer, everyone plays a card of its suit. After that, whoever played the highest card of the suit leads any card they like, and the rest follow.
- 3You must follow suit. With none of the suit, dig: draw from the stock until you find one, then play it. Every card you dig stays in your hand.
- 4Once everyone has played, the trick goes out of play and the highest card leads next. If the stock is empty and you can't follow, you sit that trick out and keep your cards.
- 5Run out of cards and you're safe for the rest of the round. The last player still holding cards loses the round. If everyone runs out together, nobody does.
- 6The game ends when someone has lost 3 rounds. Whoever has lost the fewest wins.
