<br />
Napoleon is a highly strategic trick-taking game for 5 players, originating from Japan. Players are divided into the '''Napoleon's Army (2 players)''' and the '''Allied Forces (3 players)'''.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
== đ Game Overview ==<br />
* '''Deck''': 52 standard cards + 1 Joker = 53 cards in total.<br />
* '''Honor Cards''': A, K, Q, J, 10 (20 cards in total). The goal is to collect these cards.<br />
* '''Victory Conditions''':<br />
** '''Napoleon's Army''': Collect at least the number of Honor Cards declared during the bidding.<br />
** '''Allied Forces''': Prevent Napoleon's Army from reaching their declared target.<br />
<br />

<br />
== đ Game Flow ==<br />
<br />
=== 1. Bidding ===<br />
Players take turns declaring how many Honor Cards they can collect if they become "Napoleon."<br />
* '''Bid Range''': 10 to 20 cards.<br />
* '''Bid Content''': Number of cards and the desired Trump suit (e.g., "13, Spades").<br />
* Bidding continues until someone makes the highest bid or everyone else passes.<br />
* '''All Pass Scenario''': If everyone passes, the dealer (first bidder) is forced to become Napoleon with a bid of "'''10, Clubs'''".<br />
<br />
=== 2. Card Exchange ===<br />
The winner of the bid (Napoleon) takes the 3 face-down cards from the center (the "Widow") and discards 3 cards from their hand.<br />
These 3 discarded cards are revealed to all players.<br />
* '''Important''': If any Honor Cards are included in the discarded 3 cards, they are '''awarded to the winner of the first trick'''.<br />
<br />
=== 3. Adjudant Nomination ===<br />
Napoleon nominates an "Adjudant Card" to choose their secret partner.<br />
* '''Example''': "The Ace of Spades" or "The Queen of Hearts (Yoromeki)."<br />
* The player holding that card becomes the secret partner, the "Adjudant."<br />
* Napoleon must fight alone (Solo Napoleon) if they hold the nominated card themselves.<br />
* If the nominated card is among the 3 cards in the Widow or among the cards Napoleon discarded, Napoleon also becomes a Solo Napoleon.<br />
<br />
=== 4. Trick-Taking ===<br />
Starting from the player to the left of Napoleon, players play one card clockwise.<br />
* '''Must Follow''': You must play a card of the same suit as the lead card if you have one.<br />
* If you are void in the lead suit, you may play any card (including Trump cards or other suits).<br />
* '''Leading with Joker''': If a player leads with the Joker, they specify a suit that others must follow for that trick.<br />
* The strongest card wins the 5 cards in that trick and leads the next trick.<br />
----<br />
<br />
== đ„ Card Strength (from Strongest) ==<br />
<br />
# '''đ± Mighty''': â A. Always the strongest card in the game.<br />
# '''đ Joker''': The second strongest card.<br />
# '''đ» Right Jack''': The Jack of the Trump suit.<br />
# '''đ» Left Jack''': The Jack of the same color as the Trump suit.<br />
#* If Trump is â (Spades), âŁJ is the Left Jack.<br />
#* If Trump is ⣠(Clubs), â J is the Left Jack.<br />
#* If Trump is â„ (Hearts), âŠJ is the Left Jack.<br />
#* If Trump is ⊠(Diamonds), â„J is the Left Jack.<br />
# '''Trump Cards''': A, K, Q, J, 10, 9...<br />
# '''Lead Suit Cards''': A, K, Q, J, 10, 9... of the suit matching the first card played in the trick.<br />
# '''Other Cards'''<br />
<br />

<br />
== â ïž Special Rules ==<br />
<br />
=== đ The Queen of Hearts (Yoromeki) ===<br />
* '''Card''': â„Q.<br />
* '''Effect''': Activates only if the '''Mighty (â A)''' is played in the same trick.<br />
* '''Result''': The â„Q defeats the Mighty and becomes the strongest card. In this scenario, the Mighty becomes the weakest card in the trick.<br />
<br />
=== âŁïž3 Joker Request ===<br />
* '''Condition''': If the âŁ3 is played as the '''lead card''' of a trick.<br />
* '''Effect''': The player holding the Joker '''must''' play it in this trick.<br />
<br />
=== đŠ Same-Two ===<br />
* '''Card''': The "2" of the lead suit.<br />
* '''Effect''': Activates only '''after the first trick''' and only if all players followed the lead suit (no Joker/Mighty/Right Jack/Left Jack or other suits played). The "2" of the lead suit defeats all other cards in the trick.<br />
