INTRODUCTION OF POCH

Poch is a casino style gambling game that dates clear back to 1441.  Unlike Newmarket or Pope Joan, Poch is played over three phases during each round, and it includes elements of poker that allow for bluffing to occur.  

THE CARDS & THE DEAL 사설토토

If playing with three or four people, use a 32 card deck composed of 7’s up through Aces.  If playing with five or six players, use a full 52 card deck.

You will also need to create a Poch board.  The best way to do this would be to grab nine paper bowls or cups.  Each cup will be labeled as follows: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Marriage, Sequence, Poch.  The ninth bowl is called the Pinke.  

Finally, you will need a large supply of chips or tokens.

To decide who will be the first dealer and the banker for the game, have each player take a card from the deck.  The player with the lowest card is the banker and deals first.  The banker is responsible for doling out chips and preparing the Poch board.   Make sure each player begins the game with ten chips.   

To prepare the Poch board for the round, the banker should place one chip into each bowl.  The Pinke remains empty.  

The dealer should shuffle the cards thoroughly and deal five to each player one at a time.  Flip the top card of the remaining deck over to determine the trump suit for the round.  Now place the remaining deck with the trump card showing to the side.

THE PLAY

A round of Poch consists of three phases: melding, poker, and shedding.

MELDING

During this phase, players begin to win chips from the Poch board.

The player who is holding the trump suited Ace should announce it, reveal the card, and take the chips from that bowl.  The same is done for the trump suited King, Queen, Jack and Ten.  

If a player has both the King and the Queen, they also take the chips from the Marriage bowl.  

The player who has the highest run of three same suited cards wins the chips from the Sequence bowl.  Trump suited runs beat normal suited runs.  In the event of a tie between two normal suited runs, the player closest to the left of the dealer wins the Sequence chips.

If a bowl is not emptied due to the required cards being in the draw pile, the chips stay in that bowl for the next round.

Players keep all of their cards during this phase.

POKER

It is in the Poker phase that a little betting and bluffing can take place.  In this phase, player’s are betting on who has the best set of cards.  A set
