如何玩番摊

　　番摊是一种纸牌游戏，也被称为卡多米诺骨牌。下面就给玩家讲述如何玩番摊游戏：

　　玩家人数：三到八个，但在番摊游戏中最好是由四名玩家组成。

　　目标：最先一个人发完所有的牌则为赢家。

　　纸牌：标准的玩法是由52张牌构成。尖子最小。

　　玩法：游戏中会给每个玩家供应相同数量的筹码，你需要一个碗或盘来收集这些筹码。每一个玩家每一次都打一个牌，直到所有的牌都打完。在番摊游戏当中，如果一些玩家手中的牌比其它玩家手中的牌张数更少，这并不会造成什么影响。

　　番摊游戏先从庄家左边的玩家开始，每位选手必须打一个7，或者按照套装的升序或者降序将其增加到7。当玩家打了7，那么接下来8和6都可以打。如果打8，你可以打9。如果是打6开始，你就可以打5。序列可以升到国王，也可以下降到尖子。当最后的一张纸牌打出，玩家就需要将一整排的纸牌折叠起来，并将其翻过来。

　　当你无法打出你的任何一张牌时，你就需要过牌，并将一个筹码放到碗中。说要是，第一个将手中纸牌打完的，就可以获得碗中所有的筹码，并且还可以得到每一个输掉的玩家，每人提供的一个筹码。

　　小技巧：当你有尖子或国王，则尝试打整个套装。你的目标是要能阻止5S，6S，8S，9S这些牌打出，当然这是对于其他人来说，而不是自己。如果您把握好时机，那么你就能够很好的通过阻止别人的牌，来形成自己的套装。

　　译文

　　Fan Tan is a card game that also is known as Card Dominoes. Here's how to play:

　　Number of players: Three to eight, but the game is best with four players.

　　Object: To be the first to play off all your cards.

　　The cards: Standard 52-card deck. Aces are low.

　　Playing: Give each player an equal supply of chips; you'll need a bowl or a dish to collect them. Deal one card at a time to each player until the whole pack is dealt. It doesn't matter if some players have one card fewer than the others.

　　Beginning with the player to dealer's left, each player must play a 7 or else add on to cards in suit sequences ascending or descending from the 7s. Once the 7 has been played, for example, the 8 and 6 can be played. If the 8 is played, you can play the 9. If the 6 is played, you can play the 5. Sequences ascend to the king and descend to the ace. Once an end card is reached, fold up the row of cards and turn them over.

　　Whenever you can't play one of your cards, pass and toss one chip into the kitty （the bowl）。 Whoever is out of cards first collects the chips in the kitty, plus one chip per card left in each player's hand.

　　Tips: Try to encourage play in suits where you have aces or kings. Your goal is to be able to hold back stoppers -- the 5s, 6s, 8s, and 9s that block everyone else's cards but not your own. If your timing is right, the suits you need help in will open up before your stoppers are gone.
