Pazaak

There are two different decks in pazaak: the main (or "table") deck, composed of cards numbered 1-10 (the total cards in this deck is unbound, though it tended to have four of each number). There was also one side deck for each player in the game. These decks would be assembled by the players themselves and had to have exactly ten cards.

At the beginning of the game, each player would randomly select four cards from their side deck, making up their Hand( roll 4d10 to decide these cards. Every other number may be played as a negative though this is optional.) Each player draws a card from the main deck, with the highest card determining who is first player.( Roll 1d10 per player.) Then the first turn of the first player would start. The player would draw a card from the main deck and play it on the table( Roll 1d10 when you have to draw.) After that, the player could choose to either place a card down from their hand, or to end their turn. Only one hand card can be played per turn, and no more cards are ever drawn from the side deck.

When ending his turn, the player has two options:

End Turn: If the player ends their turn, they are bound to draw a new card from the main deck at the start of the next turn. This is repeated until either they stand, go bust, fill the table, or their score is exactly 20.

Stand: If the player stands, they keep their current sum till the end of the set and do not play any other cards. The opponent, however, can still continue playing cards, unless he has chosen to stand as well. Getting a sum of 20 automatically causes a player to stand.

Once his turn was over, play moves to the next player, and their turn is played in the same manner. Play passes between the two players until someone wins the set.

The winner of the set is then first player for the next set. In the case of a tie, whoever was not first player for the tied set is the first player for the next set. One player must win three sets to win the hand.
