Cards 101 (one hundred and one) - Card Game
About the Game
One Hundred and One (101) is a card game popular in the CIS countries. Played by 2 to 6 people. The point of the game is to score as few points as possible, and ideally get rid of all the cards. This game is also called: “Czech Fool”, “Mau-Mau”, “English Fool”, “Pharaoh”, “Pentagon”. Players are dealt 4 cards, the remaining deck is placed on the table. They go to “One Hundred and One” one by one in a clockwise direction. On the card placed on the table, the player must place a card of the same suit or the same value. In this case, if a player places a 6, then the next player must take 1 card from the deck. If 7k - then 2 cards. But he can also put the number 7 and then the next player must take 4 cards from the deck. Ace is a pass; on 8k you need to put another card of the same suit. When one of the players runs out of cards, points are counted for those who have cards left in their hands.
Game Mechanics
Multiplayer Card Games are competitive or cooperative mechanics where players use a standard or specialized deck to outplay opponents through strategy, bluffing, memory, or probability. Unlike single‑player solitaire, these games involve direct interaction — betting, trick‑taking, attacking, or trading. Common mechanics include trick‑taking (each round, players play one card; highest rank or suit wins the trick), betting and bluffing (players wager chips based on hand strength, with bluffing to force folds), and attack‑defense (lower cards defend against higher ones; the last player with cards loses). Core skills include hand evaluation (knowing your winning chances), reading opponents (detecting bluffs or weak cards), card counting (tracking played cards), and risk management (when to bet, fold, or pass). Multiplayer modes range from 2‑player duels to 4‑player partnerships. Unlike action games, card games reward patience, psychology, and statistical thinking. Progression may come from tournament ladders, ranking systems, or in‑game currency. Perfect for players who enjoy social competition, mind games, and the timeless appeal of a well‑played hand.
