Number of tiles drawn: Each player draws an equal issue of tiles from the “ wimp yard. ” For case : If 2 play, each draw 20 tiles ; if 8 play, each draw 6 tiles. There are 55 tiles in the laid of a double 9 set. ( If using a double 12 or 15 set, make adjustments proportionately. ) Tiles left after each musician draws remain in the chicken yard to be drawn from during the hand.
Set: Player holding the 9-9 makes the foremost act of the plot. subsequent games would begin with the next-lowest double tile ( 8-8, 7-7, 6-6 and so on, the last game beginning with the 0-0 tile ). If no one holds the correct double tile to begin that particular hand, players may agree to either 1 ) go to the next-lowest double or 2 ) reshuffle all the tiles and draw raw hands. Play continues to the left. The adjacent 6 players must be made on the 9-9 tile, 3 tiles played diagonally on each side of the 9-9 tile. This geological formation is called a double Chickenfoot. To do this, players must match a tile from their hand of the 9 lawsuit to the 9-9 plant tile. If 6 tiles have not been played on the 9-9 set and a player does not hold a tile from the 9 suit in his hand, he may draw one tile from the chicken thousand. If he draws a tile with a 9 end, he plays it on the hardening tile. If he does not draw a tile from the 9 courtship, he must pass his turn to the actor to his impart. After 6 tiles have been played on the 9-9 set tile, plays can be made on any of the 6 Chickentoes by matching tiles end to end, until person plays a bivalent tile. once a double tile has been played on one of the Chickentoes, the adjacent three plays must be made on the duplicate tile before plays can be made anywhere else in the layout. This constitution of 3 tiles played on the double over tile is called a Chickenfoot. once the new Chickenfoot has been completed by playing 3 tiles diagonally on one side of a double tile, players may return to adding tiles to any of the chicken toes until person plays another double. The game ends once a musician plays all the tiles in his hand or when the game ends in block because none of the players are able to make a play and there are no tiles in the Chickenyard to draw from. Players must count the dots on the tiles remaining in their hand ( 1 point per 1 dot ) and record their score. Remember that the player caught having the 0-0 gets 50 points. For the next bridge player, tiles are reshuffled and each player draws the lapp number of tiles from the chicken yard as he or she did at the begin of the former hand played. The second pass begins with the 8-8 tile ; the third hand with the 7-7 tile and thus on. For a longer game players may choose to continue playing by starting another hand with the 1-1 tile following the hand that began with the 0-0 tile as arrange. subsequent hands would begin with the adjacent highest double played as adjust ( 2-2, 3-3, and then on up to the final hand beginning with the 9-9 tile ).
