Hi, I recently started learning and playing this a bit, and I find the game super interesting and fun^^ 
If I understand the rules correctly, I'm already starting to see how many ways there are to interact creatively!
So just a couple questions for clarifications:

Do diagonally adjacent cards count for double card calling? 

Then, if I count correctly, the total number of stakes for a single card call can reach from 2 to 15 points, and for a double card call they can reach from 2 to 6 points, right?

That also means that the starting player would get a guaranteed win by single card calling their four known cards (13+11+9+7), if the opposing player didn't interfere, right?

Lastly, when playing with a maximum number of sets, are points exceeding 40 still deducted from 40, and would landing on 40 end the game prematurely?

thank you for playing!!!

  1. double card calling can’t be done diagonally! only done with cards directly above, below, or to the left/right side

  2. single card call stakes range from 3-15! you can’t single card call a card who’s value you’ve seen, so when there’s 1 card left, it can only be called in the 2nd and 3rd rows which would give you 3 and 4 points respectively! but yes double card call stakes range from 2-6!

  3. yep this is partly why you can’t single card call any card that’s empirically known to you

  4. nope! it’s just whoever gets the highest value at the end of the set! that sounds like fun too, but it’d effectively be just playing the game normally and just calling the winner early i think

Ooh, I totally missed the "not known to you" part in single card calling. Thanks a lot for the response!

I thought it would be very easy to quickly get near 40, and then almost only revolve around each other's exact finishing conditions, but yeah, it seems better to not have that very consistent climb with guaranteed high point gains.

yeah exactly!! there’s def a strat involving focusing on revealing your opponent’s cards while keeping yours hidden so that you increase the risk/reward ratio by single card calling a card in the 3rd row with most of the 2nd and 3rd row cards known hehe
