| OBJECTIVE OF CRAMPS: Be the first player to reach 31 points or more NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 4 players NUMBER OF CARDS: 52 playing cards RANK OF CARDS: (low) 2 – Ace (high) TYPE OF GAME: Trick taking AUDIENCE: Adults INTRODUCTION OF CRAMPS Cramps is a four player trick taking game created by Pete Caldwell. This game is incredibly unique as each trick has its own value. Sometimes the trick will earn points, but it can also take points away. Players should be weary of Queens, for each one captured takes away one point. THE CARDS & THE DEAL Cramps uses a 52 card deck with 2’s low and Aces high. Shuffle and deal 13 cards to each player in packets of 3’s and 2’s. Deal passes left each round. THE PLAY THE FIRST TRICK The player left of the dealer leads the first trick with any card from their hand. Players must follow suit if they can or else play any card from their hand. The highest card in the suit that was led captures the trick. The player that captures the trick leads the next one. CONTINUING PLAY Play continues until all thirteen tricks are played. KEEPING SCORE DURING THE ROUND To make scorekeeping simple, form a scorekeeping deck with one Ace, three 3’s, 5’s 7’s and 10’s from a second deck. There should be one red Ace, 3, 5, and 7. The rest of the cards should be black. 10’s count as zero. Build the scorekeeping deck in order according to the scoring table below. Whoever captures the trick takes the top card from the scorekeeping pile. At the end of the round, the player totals up their score. Do not forget to take away points for captured Queens. If the math is done correctly, combining each players score for the round will equal 10. Document the score for the round and continue play. SCORING Scoring depends on the trick.
