Chlust (IPAc-pl|x|l|u|s|t, Polish for 'splash') is a Polish gambling card game know primarily in Upper Silesia, hence its alternative name 'Silesian poker'.[1]. The name is derived from the splashy sound the cards make while being played onto one another, especially when aggressively.[2]
Gameplay
Overview
Chlust is a game for at least two, at most four people. The game requires a deck of 20 French-suited cards, Aces down to Tens, but Nines may be included as well.
Deal
The players make equals bet and then are dealt three cards each, one at a time. When all players get their cards, the dealer reveals the top card, which indicates the trump suit. If that card is the ace, it can be exchanged for the lowest trump by anyone who has it. The deck must be properly shuffled and cut before the deal.
Bidding
A player can raise, call or fold. If everyone folds, a new hand is played. If everyone calls, the players compare their hands, with the best set winning.
Sets
A set is made of three cards of the same rank or suit. The descending order of sets is as follows:
- Three jacks
- Three of a suit
- Three of a rank
The Ten of Clubs (♣10) is wild and may be played in place of any other card. If Clubs are trumps, then the Ten of Spades (♠10) fills this role.
If two players have the same kind of set, the following rules apply:
- The trump suit beats the other three
- The suits are ranked: Clubs (♣), Spades (♠), Hearts (♥), Diamonds (◆)
- The cards are ranked: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine (A, K, Q, J, 10, 9)
- The wild card played to a set of Tens or Clubs/Spades counts as a regular card
- If two players have sets of the same suit, the one with the higher top card wins, unless that player has the wild card.
Trick taking
In case when no player has a set, the dealer leads to the first trick. One has to follow by playing a card of the leading suit. If following is impossible, one has to trump. If neither following nor playing a trump is possible, one can play any card. Override, i.e. playing a card higher than all, is obligatory both while following and playing trumps. The player with the best card leads to the next trick. The one with most tricks wins the hand.
