INTRODUCTION OF BIRD DOG

Bird Dog is a modern trick taking game developed by Nathanial Meadow and his friends in 2017.  The game’s development was inspired by Spades, Hearts, and Turn Up Euchre. 온라인카지노

In this game, players are trying to capture tricks and collect pairs of face cards.  Points are awarded for face card pairs rather than the number of tricks.  This along with the inclusion of the Bird Dog card makes for a rather interesting trick taking game.  

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

Bird Dog uses a 24 card Euchre deck that includes the 9’s – Aces.  Shuffle and deal seven cards to each player.  The last three cards are placed face down in the center and are used to determine the trump suit and the Bird Dog.  Flip the top card over.   Deal passes left each round. 

THE BID

Akin to Turn Up Euchre, players will look at the card that has been flipped over and determine whether they want that suit to be trump or not.  This starts with the player left of the dealer and continues around the table.  If the bid returns to the dealer and they pass, the bid card is flipped over and the next one is turned up.  This continues until a player calls the trump card or the third bid card is flipped up.  If the third card is flipped up, that suit automatically becomes the trump suit.

The three cards that were used to determine trump are kept separate from the game.  They are placed to the side with the trump card showing throughout the duration of the round.

THE BIRD DOG

The card that is the same rank and color as the trump bid card becomes the Bird Dog which is the highest ranking card for the hand.  The Bird Dog keeps its suit.  For example, if the 9 of hearts is revealed as the bid card, and a player chooses it as trump, the 9 of diamonds becomes the Bird Dog.  The 9 of diamonds becomes the highest ranking card for the hand, and it still acts as a diamond.

GOING NIL

After the trump suit has been established and beginning with the player left of dealer, each person has the opportunity to declare that they are going Nil.  Only one player may do so, and it means they think they will capture zero tricks.
