Changes: Cups (game)

Revision as of 20:23, 4 June 2012

Cups was a game invented by Chandler with the intention that Joey won, so that he would accept some money from Chandler, which Joey needed to pay the rent. This page contains the rules of the Cups game from "The One On The Last Night", recreated by series' fan and logic of their recreation. These rules are not official and partly based on guesses.

Rules

The game depends only on luck and consists of series of 2-card tricks. Who has card or combination of cards of highest rate wins the trick. Joe always won with low-rate cards. It means that card rate in this game is reversted, with a few exceptions. When Joey takes only one card and it is a 2 of spades, Chandler says that he has automatically won. Than means that 2 of spades is the highest-rated card.

There are 2 combinations that beat any cards: the cup (4 and 9) and the D-cup (3 and 6). The D-cup is the highest of those two. Joey mentioned an half-cup, but you can't divide 13 (9+4). That means that 4-card and 9-card are half cups and they are rated more than other cards, except the 2 of spades.

This gives us the following cards and combinations rating, from highest to lowest:

3 and 6
4 and 9
2 of spades
4
9
2 (not spades)
3
5
6
7
8
10
Jack
Queen
King
Ace

The game is played by just taking taking two cards, and who has highest-rated combination or, if there are no combinations, highest-rated card, won. When somebody won 14 tricks, (50 dollars each), you double up stakes and play trick only with one card.

Bonuses

Sitting bonus: They were playing while standing. So when you have same cards, who sits down first gets sitting bonus and wins the trick.
Saucer card: Chandler said card, not cards, so there is only one special card in desk - joker. It could act as any card, when you need to complete combination (example: you have 3 and joker. Joker acts like 6 and you have D-cup and win.)
