Players act in turns playing cards from their hands, and most of the cards have just numbers on them. Despite such simplicity, there’s something to think about, but WTF: Whisky Table Friends is a simple and fast game and not a hard logical puzzle.
The setting up quite simple: First of all, each player takes 5 cards to his or her hand, then the first player makes his or her turn. That player chooses any card with a number and plays it. A few cards can be played as long as all of the played cards have the same number.
I need to beat three cards of four (sum 12), and I’ve got two cards of six on my hand (sum 12 too). Can I use my 2 cards to beat 3?
No. The sum total of cards you use to beat must be strictly greater than the sum total of cards you’re trying to beat.
I need to beat a couple of fives, and I have fives on my hand as well. How many can I use to pass the cards further?
As many as you like: From one to all cards with that number you have on your hand.
Card of 12 is lying in front of me, which I need to beat. I’ve got two cards of 12 on my hand. Can I use them to beat this single card? 24 is more than 12, you know.
You cannot. You can use only cards with other numbers to beat. You can use cards with the same number only to pass these cards to the next player.
