It is a problem so easy to fix; let us guide you through the basics, and learn a new, fun way to spend your freetime.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Basics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Hungarian deck, or \u201cpakli\u201d, as we call it, consists of 32 cards, and they are divided into 8 ranks in each of four suits: acorns (makk), hearts (piros), leaves (z\u00f6ld), and bells (t\u00f6k). Fun fact: under and upper knaves feature the legendary Swiss folk hero, William Tell, and his rival, a Habsburg bailiff called Herman Gessler. You\u2019ll also find some numbered cards, and four cards of unknown kings in the deck, as well as 4 aces representing the four seasons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>21<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You must be familiar with Black Jack, right? There is a very similar Hungarian card game, \u201c21\u201d, where multiple players (maximum 6) can test their fortune. The dealer gives 2 cards (face down) to all players, and one by one, they can decide whether to stand, or ask for another card in an attempt to get closer to a count of 21. In case of a tie, the one with less cards in hand wins.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Maka\u00f3<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Every player starts with 5 cards, face down. The rest of the cards must be placed in a draw pile face down. You will need space next to the pile for the discard pile where the top card should be placed. The gameplay follows a clockwise direction, players must view their cards and try to match the value or the symbol of those in the discard pile. In case the player has no matches, they have to draw a card from the draw pile, and the game moves on to the next person in turn. It is very similar to UNO, but without colour altering, reverse, and skip cards. Cards with the number VII. equal with the \u201c+2\u201d cards, meaning that the next player has to draw two cards and forfeit their turn, but only if they can\u2019t place another card of the same number on it. When players only have one card left in their hand, they must say \u201cMaka\u00f3\u201d before the next player makes a move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that playing card games has mental benefits, plus multiple other advantages?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":328404,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[833],"tags":[11493,564,10137],"post_places":[],"class_list":["post-328399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-have-fun-en","tag-card-games","tag-fun","tag-play"],"acf":{"connected_places":null,"del_image":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>National Hungarian Card Games<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Playing card games has mental benefits, plus multiple other advantages.
