The Deal
Decide on a dealer at random. All the cards are given equally to all players (usually it is 6 to 10 cards). The rest of the cards that is not possible to give equally is put aside. Every player achieves 5 counters

The Goal of Shif! Shof! Shoom!
To get all the counters.

The Play
First player starts the game with any card, for example a Jack. If the next player has a Jack, he or she throws it saying: “Shif!”. It means that initial player has to put 1 counter to the Piggy Box that stands in the middle of the table.

If the third player has a Jack, he or she throws it saying: “Shof!”; the initial player puts 2 counters to the Piggy Box.

If the fourth player has a Jack, he or she throws it saying: “Shoom!”; the initial player puts 3 counters to the Piggy Box.

If some player does not have a card of the same rank, he or she says:”Pass!” and passes their turn to the next player. The next player puts away the trick with Jacks and starts with the new card.

As the players lose their counters they leave the game. The game continues until all players but one lose their counters.

The winning
The player who is left with at least one counter wins.
