Chapter 502 Multiplayer Game
Since Shade is required to defeat his opponent in the game, he cannot Waste time playing cards one by one. After consultation with the staff of the Prophet Association, a multi-player game was adopted this time. And this kind of game usually only appears in very formal Rhodes tournament.

Shade went back to the second floor one step ahead of schedule and asked the Prophet's Guild to check his deck. Of course he saw Luvia in it, and Dorothy had joined her.

And the Marquis of Grassley, who is eager to have a try, said that everyone will not yield to Shade in a short game:

"This is [Origination Darkness] ]!”

The marquis with the shiny hair raised his eyebrows, he was really excited, and the smile on his face couldn’t be controlled:
“If Duke Lucas knew there would be such a thing. What kind of thing, nothing to miss the party because of the flu, ha, he might have regrets until he enters the coffin. Although even if we beat you, we can't get this card. But since we're going to get the founding set 's card, Hamilton Knight (Sir Hamilton), you must go through the test!"

He probably regarded [Origination Darkness] as a treasure, and Shade was a treasure-hunting Knight.

"Sure, but how exactly is this game going to be played? I've never played a multiplayer game."

That's what Shade was worried about.

"It's okay, it's very simple."

The Marquis smiled and took Shade's shoulders:

"You'll enjoy the next round."

The servants did not go upstairs to ask Queen Diana to come down after the Prophet's Guild arranged the rules of the game and selected the other four to join Shade in the game.

This interesting thing happened at the Queen's birthday party, and the invited newspaper reporters were more excited and excited than the people who were going to play the game in a while.

When the Queen came to watch, Shade sat down with his opponents, Marquis Grassley, Count Tarancon, Viscount Fordman and Mr. Spears, and when the crowd began to predict the outcome of the game, The flashing lights were almost brighter than when Queen Diana made her first appearance.

Around the table are a Knight, a marquis, a count, and a viscount. Mr Spears, who has no peerage, is the first permanent secretary to the King's Council. According to regulations, those who hold this position can immediately obtain the status of non-hereditary Baron upon retirement or death during their tenure.

"Please note, I will be the judge this time around, and the dealer will be Mr. Cicconi from the association."

Sindia Mark Vice-President His voice attracted everyone's attention, and he led the team to the Yodell Palace tonight:

"Today there are five players, and after we negotiated, we adopted the following rules: each has ten gold stars. !"

The staff of the Society of Prophets put fifty solid gold five-pointed star buttons provided by Queen Diana in a brass box and distributed them to the five people at the card table, the one next to Shade. It was Luvia.

"Mr. Hamilton, please put it away."

She pretended not to know Shade, leaned over and whispered in Shade's ear as she put the box away.

“After getting the first dark card in each round, you can choose to use Venus to bet.

After each person is suspended, except for the last suspended card, you can choose to use Venus makes an additional bet. After each round, the winner takes back from the table the Venus of the first bet multiplied by 2 and the Venus of the second bet multiplied by 1.5, with decimals rounded up. If there is any remaining bet from the authorities, it will be handed over to the referee Keep it; if the authorities’ bet is not enough, get it from the referee; if the table bet and the bet in the referee’s hand are not enough, you can only get the full bet on the table.”

Mr. Mark said, asking the five people in turn if they understood the rules , announced after everyone was nodded:

"If you lose all gold stars, you will automatically quit the game. When there is only one person left on the table, the last winner wins the bet. If in the game Anyone who holds 25 or more gold stars will automatically become the winner.”

Many of the guests who came to the banquet were Lord hobby players. Hearing this kind of rule, they discussed with each other, and some people even asked if this is the final rule of this year's "Big City Player".

Shade did the math. According to this way of playing, if everyone can stay sane and only bet one gold star per game, then even if someone can win streak, at least 10 games in a row can be obtained. victory. And when no one wins in a row and everyone chooses a gold star per game, the game will be longer.

"But it's really fun."

Shade thought to himself, picking up a star from the box he was holding, ready to throw it in the center of the round table. The first game, let's see the situation first.

There is only one dealer, but each player has his own deck, so Mr. Cicconi of the Prophet Society will use five decks to deal cards. This is a bit of a waste of time, but it also gives others a chance to think.

Shade added all the special cards in his hand to the deck, but none of the nine special cards appeared on the first card. The first card is the Moon 6.

Throwing a star to the center of the table, similar to Shade's idea, except for Tarancon count, his other three opponents also chose to drop a star in the first game. as an attempt.

Talankang count is the youngest player on the poker table besides Shade, who looks like he is only about 30 years old. He pretended to look at the expressions of the others, and after a little hesitation, he threw two stars.

"Did you draw a king or a queen?"

The Marquis of Grassley asked.

"Marquis, why can't I be confident that I can win the first game?"

"Come on, you played with me in the Lucky Club when you were not an adult. Check, I know, you're not the kind of person who gambles on luck."

Marquis Grassley touched the chin, then looked towards the dealer:

"Drawing After the king and queen, you can't continue to ask for cards, so do you want the dealer to continue to deal?"

"I can honestly say that I didn't draw a kingdom, but I Still don't continue to ask for cards, and of course, don't raise."

Tarancon count said with a smile, and then asked the other four:
"How about you?"

If the hidden card in his hand is really the queen, then not continuing to ask for cards is to comply with the rules. And if not, when the other four think he is, they will definitely try to hit blackjack. Once the other four are busted, and count's hole card is not the queen, the only one who doesn't bust is the winner of the first round.

"I don't believe your luck is so good."

Viscount Fordman said with a smile:

"I'll keep asking for cards."

“Me too.”

Mr Spears also said that the parliament’s first permanent secretary, now 43 years old, with sunken eyes and thinning hair, is the kind of person who looks smart people.

"I don't hold and I don't raise."

Marquis Grassley said, becoming the second player to stand. But he also didn't open his hole cards to show them. After all, giving up the cards is not admitting defeat.

"I will continue to ask for cards."

Shade said, observing the expressions of his opponents, listening to the discussions of bystanders, and thinking under the crystal chandelier:

"In this kind of multi-player game, not only the opponents who continue to ask for cards, but also the points of the people who have stopped cards must be considered, so as to prevent the two sides from fighting and let others win. In this case, if you have the ability to read minds, you must You can be invincible.”

[Then, are you going to learn mind-reading skills because of the Rhodes card? ]

The voice in my ear said softly.

"Who do you think I am?"

Shade asked rhetorically.

[A person who replaces someone else's hole card and lets his opponent be cheated. ]

She whispered in his ear with a smile in her tone.

On the second card, Shade got a flower 6 for a total of 12 points. While he was considering whether to stand, Mr. Spears took the lead in announcing a stand without raising, while Viscount Fudman continued to ask.

Shade thought for a while, then glanced at the count that seemed to have drawn the "queen", who smiled at him, not sure if he was nervous.

“I’m going to keep getting cards, too,” said Shade.

Shade.

So only Viscount Fodman and Shade got the third card.

"I stand."

The viscount glanced at his third card, and then revealed the hidden card;

"8+2+ 9, 19 o'clock. Tarancon, I don't believe you are the queen! Raise a gold star."

Seeing that someone finally revealed their hole cards, Marquis Grassley and Spears, who had been suspended The gentlemen also turned their trumps because they impossible won. The former is 13 points, so it will be stopped in the first round, and the latter is 17 points.

"It doesn't matter if you are believing or not."

Tarankang count said, but instead of revealing his trump card, he asked Shade:

"Then Knight , do you want to continue to ask for the fourth card?"

When each card is thrown, it is thrown backwards, but except for the first card, you need to choose whether to continue after other opponents and yourself. Display it before asking for a card. Shade's third card hasn't been revealed since there are no other opponents who want cards.

"I am Talankang count, no matter what your cards are, you will lose."

He said hesitantly.

"Oh? You got the king?"

count was surprised, but Shade shook his head:
"count, I guess your hole card is the queen, and I The third card of , Flower 8, [Old Continent Eastern Style·Teith Lake]."

Seeing count was stunned there, Shade then explained:

"Drawing After this card, guess the number of a card that the opponent did not show. If it is correct, you can choose whether to force the number of the opponent's card to increase by one after the opponent shows the card. If the opponent opens the card first, there will be no Effect. Now your hole card is unknown, I guess it's the queen."

He opened his hole card:
"6+6+8, I'm 20. count , you open the card. "

There was a moment of silence at the card table, and then Marquis Grassley couldn't help laughing. The other two gentlemen also tried their best to control their laughter:
"Haha, Taran Kang, you better not be the queen. Even if you lose, if you are the queen, you will be laughed at by us for months."

"A very exciting game."

Queen Diana, who was watching behind Shade, also understood, said with a smile, and the onlookers also smiled.

If the count of only one card is not the queen, then Shade wins; if he is, according to the rules of the special card, the queen increases by one, which is a bust.

Talankang count's face turned red at once, he gasped and looked towards Shade before saying:
"After playing Rhodes cards for so many years, this kind of person makes people feel uncomfortable. Annoying situation, first time ever. Oh, it's annoying. I heard someone won a [King's Order] in Down Town last week, Mr. Hamilton, it doesn't seem like luck."

He opened his trump card, and it turned out to be the queen.

There was a polite laughter from the crowd watching. Count pressed his right hand on his forehead and shook his head uncontrollably. Marquis Grassley tried hard to control his laughter, and the whole person sat on the seat and shook. Shaking:
"This is the charm of the Rhodes card."

PS: A patch has been made about [Genesis·Darkness]. Cards can be drawn after the cards are busted, but only the first two special cards drawn in the subsequent draws can play an effect.
