You didn't leave the jokers in before dealing did you? In that case,
you're right. I can't bid fifteen, no trumps with jokers in play.
I'll change my bid to raise you a pair of hearts, and one for his
knob.

This poker lark is easy! Let's have another game.
I'll start by bidding three of a kind: a seven of hearts, another
seven of hearts, and a third seven of hearts.

No. I had assumed you could at least handle simple mental
arithmetic. There are 4 aces in a standard pack. Two fours are
eight. So to get eight aces, we'd only need a double deck, not a four
decker.
But if you're not happy playing with the non-standard deck you
brought, I've got one of my own here. I'll just deal myself four
cards from that cards out...
Now, let's see. I'll start the bidding with: the Ace of Wands, the
High Priestess, Master Bun the Baker's Son, and Death.
Oops, that puts me over 21. Oh well, whose turn next?

I guess the doctor won't be playing cards considering the
modern card deck is just the Tarot minus the major aracana
and four court cards.
Oh, and the suits get renamed -
Wands = Clubs
Cups = Hearts
Pentacles = Diamonds
Swords = Spades

But since that was the same deck you used for your opening raise of
two Aces, I'm not surprised. You're the only man I've ever met who
actually cheats at Mornington Crescent, something I hadn't even
thought was possible before.

Couting? Is that "cutting" (as in cut the deck) or "counting" (as in
count up the points)?

Apparently not the Tarot, since the evil magic seems to offend Dave's
fundamentalist Christian prejudices. Or something.

Are you certain you are understanding Penguin's rules?
Mr.Smartypants
Then Dave can use the child's deck and we'll use all of them. Should
make the game more interesting and won't offend Dave overly much.

I'm counting the obvious way, of course. Picture cards count ten,
everything else is its numerical value, except in special cases. How
did you think I was doing it?

Now we know why Yads wants our guns left at the door. He's probably
got a couple of kittycat cards up his sleeve and is waiting to bring

He's probably comprehending them just fine. After all, he's in equal

Whose turn is it to deal this time?

Yes, and when you ruled them out, I got rid of them. You can't say
fairer than that.
But if you're now allowing me to bring in my own Tarot cards, then
thanks. I'll think of you every time I see Major Arcanum number zero.

Most appropriate. In the Waite deck, the card shows a young
man about to step off into space . . ..

Ok. Here goes.
Ladies and gentlemen, faite votre jeu, faite tal attraction, faite
worse than death.
BTW I can't guarantee I've removed all the Tarot cards from the deck.
Most of them are gone, but there's a chance there may still be one or
two still left in there. I'm sure we can just treat them with a bit
of common sense if they do turn up. The Happy Families cards are
still in there, of course, so don't forget a complete Family beats any
other hand.

And I can't believe I managed to spell "faites" wrong three times in a
row!
Anyway, why does French have all these different endings that you
spell differently but are all pronounced exactly the same? Just spell
the last syllable of every word "uh" and you'd avoid a lot of
confusion...

Alternately, if you can't spell the words, don't bother showing off in

I've got a housey from the child's deck, and filled it with the Queen
of Hearts, the Jack of Clubs, the King of Clubs, and Miss Drag the
Crossdresser's Son.
So we've each got a full house, which means...
