IN SCOTLAND WE PLAY TRUMP ALONG WITH OTHER FAMILY CARD GAMES NAMELY SNAP FOR THE KIDS AND OTHER FAVOURITES LIKE RUMMY AND WHIST.
CARD GAMES LIKE TRUMP HAVE BEEN PLAYED IN MOST FAMILIES IN SCOTLAND FOR MANY YEARS, ON THESE COLD SCOTTISH NIGHTS WHEN THE POWER WENT OUT TRUMP, SNAP, RUMMY AND WHIST COULD, AND STILL CAN BE PLAYED BY THE LIGHT OF THE STORM LANTERN OR CANDLE, AND PLAYED BY THE WHOLE FAMILY. ON THESE COLD WINTER NIGHTS WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT EVEN TO THIS VERY DAY, BEING A "FLY ON THE WALL", IN THOSE SCOTTISH HOMES YOU WOULD HEAR MUM OR DAD ASKING ALL THE FAMILY, " BRING OOT THE GREEN FELT "WEER GONNA HUV A GEM O' TRUMP" - IN OUR HOUSE WE WERE LUCKY WE HAD A FELT COVERED FOLDING TABLE BUT MANY USED A FELT COVER . WHAT A SHAME FOR THE KIDS TODAY, NO INTERACTION AMONGST THE FAMILY UNIT AS ELECTRONIC GAMES TURN KIDS INTO LONERS. TO PUT EXCITEMENT INTO THE GAMES OF TRUMP, RUMMY AND WHIST ONE COULD PLAY FOR MATCHES BUT NEVER MONEY AS GAMBLING HAS ALWAYS BEEN FROWNED UPON AND IS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLE. ♦♣♥♠
TRUMP TRUMP IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CARD GAMES. THE WORD "TRUMP" COMES FROM TRIONFO OR TRIUMPH WHICH IS EARLY RECORDED AS THE NAME OF A CARD GAME IN 1529. WHIST WAS BORN FROM TRUMP. TRIONFO THE ORIGINAL NAME OF A CARD GAME FROM WHICH TAROT CARDS DERIVED AND THIS WAS ALSO ONE OF THE FIRST CARD GAMES TO DEVELOPE A TRUMP SUIT. WHEN YOU PLAY TRUMP THE GENERAL IDEA IS TO GET AS MANY TRICKS AS YOU CAN (SEE BELOW) AND GETTING THOSE TRICKS SOUNDS EASIER THAN ACTUALLY GETTING THEM ESPECIALLY IF FOUR OR FIVE ARE PLAYING AND THEY ARE ALL GOOD PLAYERS. THE TRICKS IDEA CAN BE ADJUSTED AND PLAYED IN WHIST AND RUMMY AS WELL AS TRUMP. YOU CAN BE SURE THAT WHEN TRUMP WAS BORN IN 1529 THE THOUGHT OF IT BEING POPULAR TODAY AS IT WAS THEN NEVER CAME INTO THEIR MINDS. THE SURPRISE REALLY IS THE FACT THAT EVEN AFTER NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AND THE PLETHORA OF TODAYS ELECTRONIC GAMES TRUMP IS AS POPULAR TODAY IS IT WAS THEN. SIMPLY STEP INTO ANY SENIOR CITIZENS COMMUNAL DAYROOM OR LOUNGE AND YOU ARE CERTAIN TO SEE GROUPS PLAYING TRUMP, WHIST,RUMMY OR DOMINOS, WITH THE RIGHT SIZE OF HEARTS, DIAMONDS, CLUBS AND SPADES VISIBLE FEW PROBLEMS ARISE WITH EYESIGHT, AND FOR THOSE WITH VISIBLE IMPAIRMENT RAISED SHAPES ON THE CARDS ARE POSSIBLE. THE DOMINOS SPOTS ARE EITHER RAISED OR INVERTED FOR EASY READING ALSO. NOT AN ELECTRONIC GAME IN SITE ALTHOUGH MANY YEARS OF WISDOM SURROUND THESE TABLES PLAYING THE POPULAR GAME OF TRUMP. ♣♥♠♦
HOW TO PLAY FOR EXAMPLE; 4 PLAYERS - 13 CARDS EACH AND THE LAST CARD IS TURNED UP - THIS IS THE TRUMP CARD SUIT. TRICKS ARE THEN PLAYED FOR AS YOU DO IN WHIST, WITH EACH PLAYER IN TURN FOLLOWING THE SUIT LED AND IF THEY CAN'T DO IT THEN THEY CAN USE THE TRUMP SUIT OR  DISCARD WHAT THEY THINK IS USELESS, THE PLAY GOES IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION AFTER EACH CARD IS PLAYED UNTIL ALL ARE PLAYED AND THE TRICKS ARE ADDED UP TO SHOW THE WINNER. SCORING CAN BE EASILY WORKED OUT BEFORE PLAY COMMENCEMENT. WE ARE TOLD ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT THESE FAMILY CARD GAMES ARE PLAYED ALL OVER THE WORLD USING BRAILLE SO HOPEFULLY THOSE USING THIS WEBSITE WILL FIND THE W3C, CSS AND THE U.S. FEDERAL STANDARD 508 VALIDATION HELPFUL AND READABLE. ♥♠♦♣
