Least Count is a game, which resembles its name. The aim is to be the player with the least value of sum of cards at the end of each game.
The Game
The game is best played with two deck of cards.
Each player is dealt a hand of 6 cards.
A card from the remaining cards is picked at random and this remains the joker through out the game. (The value of the card is zero for the game)
Remaining cards are stacked together.
On each turn a player discards their highest card. And if the player has multiple cards of the same value (say 7 spades and 7 heart) they can discard all of them.
At the same time he either draws the top card from the stack or picks up the most recent card discarded by the previous player - whichever he feels would be minimum.
He doesn't pick a card when his card disposed, matches the card disposed by the immediate previous player.
This turn by turn game goes on.
If a player feels he might have the least value, he calls for a "SHOW". Note that he can't discard a card and call SHOW - he has to wait till next turn.
The Show
A max "SHOW" value is set (usually 5). This means you cannot call for a "SHOW" unless your total count is less than that value at anytime.
On SHOW the player who calls for it displays his cards and his total count.
If any player has a total value which is lesser or equal to the player's show value, then it is a wrong show. And the player is awarded 25 points. While others are awarded zero. (Scoring Versions may vary)
If the player who calls for the show has the least value, then he gets zero points while every other player gets the same number of points as the total value of his cards.
The Special Show
The special show, happens when the player has 1 card and his card matches the value of the card disposed by his immediate previous player.
In this case his total sum becomes zero.
In his next turn, it is an "automatic show" and if any other player happens to have zero (JOKER) or no cards, then it becomes a wrong show.
The Winner
Finally at the end, the player with the least number of points wins. :)
