Directions for Playing

Chink

This game is for three or more players, each for himself. Eleven is highest card. The rest rank in order to one, which is lowest.

All the cards are dealt out, one at a time, to the players.

When the deal has been completed, the player to the left of the dealer leads any card he pleases. Each player plays card to the lead, and the highest card of the suit led wins the trick. Each player must follow suit if possible; otherwise he can play any card he chooses. The winner of the trick leads the next and so on until the eleven tricks are played.

The object of the game is to avoid taking tricks which contain a Chinaman or "Chink." The person who has taken the least number of "Chinks" wins the game.

The game plays the best if four persons are playing.
