Getting dealt all 9 cards of the same color

Post by GiannisIsTheBeast »

What happens if you are dealt all nine cards of the same color? The hand size is 9 to start and it is the beginning of a new hand. Is it an automatic hand win for that player (assuming that player is also the first to play in that hand)? I know it’s very improbable for it to happen but it could still be possible. Is the game coded to allow for this to happen?

Thanks for your question. Yes you would automatically win and the code does allow it. However, the chances of this happening is 1/23535820 :)

Hi, i did not catch exactly what will make it win immediately.
Isn't the first player supposed to play only ONE card at the beginning of the game?
Thanks!

Exactly my thoughts! I'm not sure to understand how

From the rulebook:

A hand can end in 2 ways:
1. If you start a new round and all the cards
in your hand are of the same number or
same colour, you are allowed to play
them all. The hand is now over. If you
cannot do this, play 1 card as normal.
