How to play Put
- 1Put is an old English game for two, played for quick points and big bluffs. Each hand you get just three cards.
- 2Suits don't matter. Threes are the highest cards, then twos, then aces, kings, queens and jacks, down to fours, the lowest.
- 3The player who didn't deal leads. You don't have to follow suit: the higher card takes the trick, and its winner leads next. If both cards are the same rank, the trick is tied, nobody takes it, and the same player leads again.
- 4Take two tricks, or more tricks than the other player, to win the hand and a point. If you each take one, or every trick is tied, nobody scores.
- 5Whenever it's your turn, before you play, you can call Put. The other player must then fold, giving you a point and ending the hand, or see it. If they see it, the hand is played out and whoever wins it wins the whole game. A tied hand still scores nothing. There's only one put per hand.
- 6The first player to 5 points wins.
