Mariáš

Once upon a time, sometime in the last century after the fall of the Comanches in this country, I left my native village for studies in Prague. Shortly after, I met Fanous and later his friend Jarous. They introduced me to the secrets of the auction Mariáš, and I found the game to be very entertaining and later profitable. Over time, I grew from an inexperienced novice to a fairly capable player.

At the same time, I also learned to program, and more than once the idea sprouted in me to transform my Mariáš art into a computer form. However, I never got around to it, and only now with the arrival of smart devices have I taken on this task.

Computer companions are not as good as real ones, but on the other hand, they have an excellent memory. If you find a significantly bad game by Fanous or Jarous, you can send it to me by email (select "Submit for evaluation" in the game details menu).

Playing auction Mariáš or selected Mariáš can be switched in the settings.

At the beginning of each game, the risk level for Jarous and Fanous is randomly determined from 1 to 3. 1 means a cautious player, 3 means a risk-taking player. The risk is applied during bidding and discarding. The limits of risk can be changed in the settings. A game with cautious players may be boring for some, so I recommend setting it to 2-3 or even 3-3.

In brief, here are some rules:
- Only betl and durch can discard tens and aces into talon.
- Hlášená sedma (announced seven) can only be discarded as the last card.
- With two sevens, the ten is immediately below the ace.
- Announced seven cannot go into the talon.
- The auctioned normal seven can be discarded.
- Seven without flek or with only flek on the game cannot be played.
- Hundred is counted.
- The maximum number of fleks is until flek-re-tutti-boty.

If the game freezes, please use the @ symbol in the settings to submit a record of the last game.
