SHANGHI CARD GAME

thingiverse

This set of parts is perfect for a card game that can be played for fun or even cash. You'll need a coin holder, several one-cent coins, and a few five-cent coins to get started. I printed four smaller cups and one large cup, along with forty-five one-cent coins and twenty-one five-cent coins, which works well for a group of four players. The good news is that you can easily customize the size of your coin holders by scaling them down to 80% or any other percentage that suits your needs. I did exactly that and printed four smaller cups at 80% and kept one large cup at full size as a pot holder. If you're planning on playing with more than three players, print additional cups until you have seven or eight, which should be enough for most games. As for the cards, make sure to use two decks if there are only four players or three decks if five or more people want to join in. The rules of this game are straightforward: For a group of four players, each player gets ten one-cent coins and four five-cent coins as a starting bankroll from the bank. If someone runs out of money during the game, they can buy more coins from the bank to keep playing. Everyone puts in a nickel at the beginning of the game. DEAL – 12 cards – 1 to 4 players -- 2 decks for 1-4 players and three decks for 5 or 7 players JOKERS AND TWO'S are wild, which means they can be used as any card you need in a set or run. ACE can be high or low, so it's up to you how you play it. A SET is when you have three or more cards of the same kind. RUN is when you have four or more cards of the same suit. You can buy a JOKER from another player for five cents if they lay it down, but make sure not to do this after you've started playing your cards. The only thing you can't do is trade your JOKER with another wild card once the game has begun. When someone lays down their JOKER, they get a chance to buy it back from you for five cents if they lay it down again.
