Piggy Bank Card Game Rules

The Deal
Every player achieves certain amount of counters (at least twelve) and puts 3 counters to the box in the middle of the table (Piggy bank). Then the dealer (decide on dealer at random) gives 1 card to each player including himself. The rest of the deck is put aside.

The Goal of Piggy Bank
To get all the counters.

The Play
When the deal is over, every player opens his or her card and acts according to the following rules:

* the player who has an Ace, gives 1 counter to the player on his left;
* the player who has a King, gets 3 counters from the Piggy box;
* the player who has a Queen, gets 2 counters from the Piggy box;
* the player who has a Jack, gets 1 counter from the Piggy box;
* the player who has 10, gets nothing;
* the player who has 9, gives 1 counter to the Piggy box;
* the player who has 8, gives 2 counters to the Piggy box;
* the player who has 7, gives 1 counter to the Piggy box;
* the player who has 6, gives 2 counters to the Piggy box;
* the player who has 5, gives 1 counter to the Piggy box;
* the player who has 4, gives 2 counters to the Piggy box;
* the player who has 3, gives 1 counter to the Piggy box;
* the player who has 2, gives 2 counters to the Piggy box;

When all players paid or achieved the counters according to their cards, the dealer mixes all the cards and deals them again – one card to each player.

The players who have lost all their counters “die”, i.e. they do not take part in the game anymore. But they should not go away as they can be reanimated by their neighbor player, who might have an Ace. If reanimated player loses his or her counter again, they leave the game. The game continues until all players but one lose their counters.

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