My youth romance is always confusing

Although we all understand the basic rules, I still have questions before the game starts.

"Wait a minute, what about the local rules?"

Yes, although Monopoly is a game that is very popular all over the country and people are familiar with its rules, it is precisely because of its popularity that different rules with subtle differences have been derived in different places.

Hearing Hachiman's question, the two people who were shuffling the cards stopped.

Qin Ye adjusted his glasses and suggested in his somewhat weak voice.

"Then how about we use Chiba's rules? Since we are in Chiba, we should use the local rules."

Xiang Mo on the side also nodded, agreeing with his partner's idea.

Are you from Chiba?... For a Chiba lover like me, these rules really match the requirements.

"it is good."

Although the local rules may be more favorable to the glasses duo who have been immersed in the tycoon for many years, it is not unacceptable to me.

"Um, Hachiman... What are Chiba's rules?"

Zaimokuza, who seemed a little timid for some reason, suddenly asked me a question.

Is this guy really okay? He doesn't even know the Chiba rules of Monopoly. Could he be a complete novice?

Although I didn't have any expectations for him, out of concern for my teammates, I still explained the so-called Chiba Rules to him.

"Well, you can revolutionize this. 8: cut the cards, 10: discard the cards, the maximum number of points is 3, 11: revolution. There is no fall, lock, or stage. The jokers cannot be kept until the end."

"Ah, it's the same as the one in our school."

"No 5 skipped, 7 switched?"

There were some unexpected voices coming from the side, not only from the two boys from the gaming club, but even Yuigahama interrupted.

Well, this kind of thing varies from place to place, and even a community may have different rules.

"Um, can you explain the revolution in detail?"

Has this guy Zaimokuza really never played before?

I looked at his embarrassed face and felt that today's game would not be easy.

Alas, there is no other way but to continue explaining to him, since he is the client after all.

"Revolution means playing four cards with the same number together to reverse the order of the cards on the field."

"8-Cut means that after you play 8, this round ends immediately, and then you start playing cards. 10-Discard means that after you play 10, you can discard the same number of cards as you played. 11-Revolution means that after playing 11, the order of the cards is reversed only in this round. The maximum number 3 is that the three of spades is higher than the big and small jokers."

From the depths of my memory, I forced myself to find the explanations for these rules.

To be honest, I haven't played this game for a long time. If it weren't for today's game that reminded me of the rules of the game, I'm afraid I might have forgotten the rules after a while.

"I see."

The fat man couldn't stop nodding as he listened to Hachiman's explanation.

The way he was reciting the rules of the game and making body movements at the same time struck me as a bit funny.

"We accept the rules of the game you proposed."

On the other side, the duo of Qin Ye and Xiang Mo also finished listening to Hachiman's explanation.

Although they have played this game many times, the rules are slightly changed each time, so even though they have the advantage of experience, the gap between the two sides is actually not that big.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party also kept repeating the rules in a low voice.

That guy called Xiangmo might not be as confident as he looks.

On the other side, Zaimokuza finally stopped after repeating the rules for the fifteenth time.

He looked at me with the most sincere and extremely confident eyes.

"It's decided to be you, Hachiman!"

Please, let me stay in Professor Oak's laboratory.

----------------

Qin Ye pushed away the things on the table and moved a few chairs over.

Everything is ready for the competition.

The three spectators stood aside and did not speak to avoid interfering with the progress of the game.

"Well, the Monopoly game is about to begin. The Gaming Club and the seniors will have a 2v2 match."

Qin Ye, one of the parties involved, stood in front of everyone and acted as the host.

But in fact, no one cared about what he said. Everyone was concerned about the game that was about to begin. Now everyone was looking at him like students watching the principal's speech at the opening ceremony, and they were all looking forward to the speech ending quickly.

Zaimokuza and I sat obediently in our seats waiting for the cards to be dealt.

The sound of shuffling cards came from the touching hands. The shuffling movement was so smooth, this guy must be an old hand at playing cards.

The playing cards were dealt evenly to everyone.

The first round starts with me, and I, as the dealer, play first.

I randomly picked the smallest one and threw it out, and Xiangmo and Qinye followed without any hesitation.

"Wahahaha, it's my turn, draw a card!"

Zaimokuza made an extremely exaggerated and chuunibyou gesture and threw his cards noisily.

However, although he looked chaotic, the cards he played were actually quite reasonable and he didn't do anything strange.

The match adopts a best-of-five format. I don’t plan to use any strategies in the first game. I will just play it safe and see the hard power of each team.

I pretended to be the gambling saint in my memory, squinting at the cards in my hand, trying my best to keep a poker face so that the other party would not see my intention.

I put the cards in my hand and sorted them one by one in order. I drew out a not very big card as a sacrifice for this round.

"3"

"8"

The next moment after I played 3, my next player immediately played 8, as if it was premeditated. According to the rules, all the previous cards of this round were invalidated, and he started playing again.

In this case, Xiangtou will be my next player. Even if the cards he plays at the beginning are very small, by the time it is my turn, they will definitely have accumulated to a very large size like a snowball.

I don’t know if he did it on purpose, but I think we should be more careful.

Sure enough, when it was my turn, the cards on the field had reached K, and I had to play A, 2, etc. to keep up with the pattern.

But if I don’t get the card rights after playing a bigger card, I will be in a passive position.

After thinking about this, I glanced at Xiang Mo out of the corner of my eye.

I noticed that there was a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, this guy was planning something.

In that case, I will...

"Little King"

I played the biggest card I had in my hand just to fight for the right to play this round.

Obviously, Xiangtou doesn't have a bigger card in his hand than this joker.

He had neither the Joker nor the Three of Spades.

If that's the case, then these two cards should be in the hands of Zaimokuza and the man named Hatano.

As my superior, Qin Ye's cards are actually very difficult to play, because once he controls me, then I, as his inferior, can enjoy the benefits of his playing small cards, so even if he has bigger cards than mine, he will turn a blind eye at this time.

According to the order of playing cards, he should deal with Zaimokuza, and Somo is the one who should deal with me.

But if it is distributed like this, the strength will be unbalanced.

Compared with Zaimokuza, I am naturally stronger. And among the two people, judging from the fact that he was trying hard to memorize the rules before we met, there is no doubt that Qin Ye is stronger.

So he should keep an eye on Zaimokuza rather than me.

But unfortunately, the game of Monopoly is a game in which the whole team will be considered the winner as long as one member of the team plays all the cards in his hand first.

So don't blame me for taking advantage of the rules.

Looking at Xiao Wang on the table, Xiangmo gritted his teeth unwillingly.

He also wanted to control Hachiman's cards, but his own cards would not listen to him.

In desperation, he could only shout "pass".

After going around in a circle, none of the three people took any action to control me, so I automatically became the dealer in the next round.

"4"

I once again gave out a smaller card from my hand, testing the reaction of the touch.

After all, when I played 3 in the first round, the opponent couldn't wait to play 8, which increased the difficulty of my playing by five cards. This was targeting me.

So what should you do this round?
