"A special rule that can be activated only when the sum of the four cards is less than or equal to 8? Although the effect of adjusting to 21 points is quite strong, can this really be used?"
Mr. Wood on the side asked, and Viscount Guerra smiled and showed the four cards he had at this time. In addition to his own special card of Sun 1, the other three were Moon 3, Moon 1 and Flower 3, with the points exactly .
8.
"The probability of four cards with a point of 8 is smaller than that of four cards with a point of 21."
Schade didn't mind losing the first round. He showed off his 18 points, while Herman Wood also had 18 points. So in the first round of the first game, neither player scored, and Viscount Guerra accumulated 18 points.
2 minutes.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that I could draw a special card and still use it in the first round. It's been two years since I got this card, and this is the second time the card's effect can be used."
The Viscount said with a smile, and the three of them continued to draw cards, and this time they all stopped at the third card. Shade opened the hole card and showed it to Miss Belindel, and while the latter smiled, he announced:
"Moon 7, flower 7, sun 7, blackjack."
Both Herman Wood and Viscount Guerra left their cards on the table, and it was normal for them to lose in such a situation.
So the first game came to the last round, and all three of them became nervous at the beginning of this round. After Shade took a look at the cards in his hand, he opened the hole card and took a look at it, and then continued to ask for cards after making sure it was not the king or queen.
.
Unexpectedly, the other two people at the table stopped at the second card. This is not a normal situation:
"Did you draw the king or queen?"
Shade teased and tested, Viscount Guerra immediately shook his head:
"I have no such luck."
Herman Wood smiled and said:
"Although our game does not require mandatory opening of cards, since you asked yes, Queen."
He showed his trump card:
"If I win this round, then the three of us will be tied in the first round."
"If Viscount Guerra's hand is 21 points, the queen's is less than 21 points."
Shade reminded him. He glanced at the Viscount and saw that he still didn't open the first card, so he went to the third one:
"Viscount, why do I feel like you are forcing me to risk losing my cards?"
"Young people are indeed patient, so what do you think my cards are?"
the viscount asked.
"Is it a special card? Although I haven't determined in advance what the special cards are in your hand, the activation rules of this card should be related to your opponent, right?"
He drew the fourth card:
"By not opening the cards, are you waiting for me to get results before deciding whether to use special rules?"
He did not touch the fifth card, but said to the referee invited from the Prophet Association:
"I stopped trading. According to the rules, I have the right to choose to open the cards after others. After all, I draw the most cards."
This is also a basic rule, so Viscount Guerra, who was originally waiting for Shade to take the initiative to tell the result, could only shake his head helplessly:
"Today's young people are really amazing. Well, let's try our luck. I'm going to activate the effect of this special card."
He turned over his trump card and showed another special card:
"[Charity·Slanted Cross Club], Suit Moon 10. When settling points, choose whether to take effect. When your own points are less than or equal to your opponent's, your opponent's total points will be increased by 2, and your own total points will be reduced by 1."
"I remember when encountering point adjustments, the king and queen defaulted to"
Baron Wood asked, and the referee immediately responded:
"The point adjustment does not affect the situation where both the king and the queen appear. But if it is just a single card, the default is 21 points. In other words, Mr. Herman Wood's final point is 23 points and the card is busted."
The young man who finally drew the "Queen" covered his forehead and threw away the cards:
"Even if you draw the queen, you will lose. Am I too unlucky tonight?"
Then Viscount Gerard looked at Shade again:
"I know you are very lucky, so this round I bet you are either 20 or 21."
The Viscount's second card is the 8 of stars, which means his total points are 18-1=17 points.
Shade smiled and asked:
"Your four cards in the first round can actually be 8 points. Are you not allowed to let my four cards be less than 20 points? From a probability perspective, it is normal to have less than 20 points."
He revealed his trump card:
"Star 5, Sun 9, Moon 1, Moon 3. I'm really sorry, I'm also at 18 o'clock, but it's 20 o'clock after adjustment."
The four cards were lined up together. Viscount Guerra stood up and looked at them with wide eyes, and then sat down dejectedly.
The Earl of Eddington on the side patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, as if it was not the Earl of Eddington who wanted to give him his two beloved horses, but the Viscount Guerra.
Although the result of 20 points beating 18 points is far from as exciting as the "King and Queen" versus "21 points", the fact that the special card caused Viscount Guerra to lose the third round is really interesting. Although Viscount Guerra will definitely win after tonight
He would not take the initiative to publicize this matter, but such a loss really hurt his self-confidence.
As for Mr. Herman Wood, who drew the queen but still lost, this is even more embarrassing than simply losing.
But no matter what, Shade won the first game openly. Miss Belindel congratulated softly, suppressed the urge to invite Shade to go horse riding outside the city on the weekend, and asked Shade softly if he wanted a drink.
He drank some champagne, and then Shade immediately shook his head and refused:
"Absolutely no champagne at halftime."
Shade always said something she didn't understand.
The second round of the card game began soon, and the cards that had just been drawn were re-added to the deck and shuffled. Viscount Gerard, who had recovered from the failure just now, regained his confidence and drew the first card.
Pai had stared into Shade's eyes before and said:
"I will be very cautious this time."
Shade made an indifferent expression.
The three of them drew cards again, and it was obvious that Shade did not have the luck to draw the king or queen. The only special card in his deck did not enter his hand in this round. And the third draw
When playing the cards, Shade clearly saw Viscount Guerra's hesitation:
"Viscount, if you hesitate, you will fail. You need to be more decisive when playing cards."
"But for poker players, decisiveness also means failure."
Viscount Guerra finally gave up on drawing the third card, while Shade stopped at the third card. His points were 5+5+9=19 points.
As for Mr. Herman Wood, he showed an unabashed smile from the moment he drew the second card:
"Viscount, and Mr. Watson, it seems that my luck has also come."
He showed the complicated card that looked like a medal ceremony to the two of them:
"Moon 7, [Life Ceremony·Graduation Ceremony]. If the opponent's total points are greater than or equal to 18 points and are an even number, the opponent's total points will be forcibly reduced by 1."
After reading the rules, he looked at them expectantly:
"Gentlemen, you can show your cards now."
"Sorry, my total points is 19."
Shade showed his playing cards, and Viscount Guerra on the side also said regretfully:
"Then I lost again, but fortunately I didn't blow the card. I was at 17. This time I didn't dare to take risks."
Herman Wood looked at the cards in his hand again and slapped them on the table unwillingly.
"In this way, as long as Mr. Watson wins one more time, it will be considered a complete victory, right?"
Miss Belindell said suddenly, and several people nodded, so the countess suggested to Earl Martin Eddington and Baron Harry Wood:
"My 'cousin' has the advantage now. Although it makes me look a little guilty to say this, I still want to ask: Do I want to add some bets for the second game?"
"Earl, it's just a game of cards. What's so sinful about it?"
Earl Eddington didn't care:
"I don't believe that your cousin has always been so lucky. No one can win all the time. I just lost two horses to you, so are you interested in oil paintings? I have a painting of Mr. Henry Malfoy in 1390.
"Lavender in the Sunflower Field" created in 2001.
"This is really a big deal."
Baron Wood touched his chin and said, he didn't care:
"The count invited Viscount Guerra, and I also believe in my son. You know that I don't like collecting antiques very much, and I don't have suitable paintings and statues in my hands. So it's better to do this. Whoever wins, the burning of your manor this winter will be
It’s all covered by me.”
"Thank you very much for your generosity. In fact, I am still more interested in the library."
Miss Belindel said, and the three players continued to draw cards in the second round.
Of course, Shade's hole card would not be revealed, but the exposed card was Sun 12. But he just frowned slightly, and continued to draw the third card with the other two. After taking a look, he turned it over.
He pressed upward on the table, then tapped the table to indicate that he should stop trading.
After the other two people at the table looked at their third card, their expressions were a little strange. Then they pressed it on the table like Shade, and then observed the expressions of their opponents.
"Mr. Watson, do you want to open the cards first?"
Viscount Guerra asked, Shade nodded, inserted the only exposed star 12 under the third card, and then opened it. That card was Shade's bet, Flower 4's [Fool's Story·Thunder Strike Madman],
Throw two 20-sided dice, and the sum of the two dice is less than 5 points, you can choose to reset the points of this card to zero.
"No special rules activated."
Shade announced. Seeing that Viscount Guerra and Herman Wood had different expressions, he smiled and asked:
"Miss Belindle has a bet with Baron Wood and Earl Eddington. How about we poker players also increase our bets?"
He tapped the trump card he had not shown:
"Just bet on who will win this round, yes, just this round. Viscount Guerra, I heard from local poker players that you will only bet on special cards with the same person once? If I win, how about we agree on a time to bet again?
How about that? Mr. Wood, I have some personal business that I want to talk to you about. I heard that you have many friends locally, maybe we can cooperate."
