Players take turns placing one card and counting the total points collected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is important to place cards so that the total points are equal to or slightly less than 31.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After placing a card, the player replenishes their cards to three by drawing one card from the deck set aside at the beginning of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skipping a turn is not allowed \u2013 a card must be discarded even if it is not suitable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When a player places a card that reaches or exceeds the set 31 points, the counting continues but after subtracting 30 points.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Penalties<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the game, certain &#8220;violations&#8221; incur penalties, and the &#8220;player gets a palka.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps this is where the game's name comes from, as &#8220;palka&#8221; means a strike with a stick, but in this game, &#8220;strike with a stick&#8221; is used metaphorically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The player &#8220;gets a palka&#8221; if:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They place a card that exceeds the 31-point limit.

It should be noted that before assigning a task, a draw is held, and the task is assigned to the player who drew the corresponding pre-agreed card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When playing with four players, the cards drawn are usually aces (players agree on which card each chooses beforehand), and if more players are involved, the draw is held with four aces and any other cards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If a player who has received three &#8220;palkas&#8221; draws their card, their &#8220;palkas&#8221; are annulled, and 5 cards are added.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Palka Card Game Rules How many players play?
