Otvorena bela

THE MOST POPULAR card game in Croatia has its own open version. Open White / Belot is played in twos. There is currently no online version of this game, but if you want to learn how to play open white, then you can watch it below…

The dealer deals 16 cards each to the opponent and himself as follows:

• He "stacks" the cards to the opponent and himself in 2 rows, double-layered, 8 cards in each row, 4 face down [unrevealed cards], 4 face up [revealed cards]
• Each player has 2 rows of cards in front of him, each row contains 8 cards that are arranged in two layers: the second layer of cards [the cards that are turned face up] is on the first layer of cards [the cards that are turned face down] .
• First row of 4 cards face down, first layer
• The dealer deals the opponent 4 cards in a row, [cards: 1, 2, 3 and 4], side by side, face down, in the "first row" [closer to the opponent]; then he also arranges one row for himself [cards: 5, 6, 7 and 8].
• Second row of 4 cards face down, first layer
• The dealer deals 4 cards to the opponent in a row, [cards: 9, 10, 11 and 12] side by side, face down, in the "second row" [closer to himself]; then he also arranges one row for himself [cards: 13, 14, 15 and 16].
• First row of 4 cards face up, second layer
• The dealer deals the opponent 4 cards in a row, [cards: 17, 18, 19 and 20], side by side, face up, "on" the first row [closer to the opponent/s]; then he also arranges one row for himself [cards: 21, 22, 23 and 24].
• The non-dealer, before dealing the last 8 cards [second row, second layer], must "call under mus" [a person who is not the dealer must call, regardless of how many good/bad cards he had], and the dealer, after the opponent determines the trump card , deal the last 8 cards.
• Second row of 4 cards face up, second layer
• The dealer deals 4 cards to the opponent in a row, [cards: 25, 26, 27 and 28], side by side, face up, "on" the second row [closer to himself]; then he also arranges one row for himself [cards: 29, 30, 31 and 32].

There are now 32 cards on the table: 16 face up and 16 face down, each player has 8 face up and 8 face up cards in two rows/two layers: the game can begin. Every time a player throws a card, if there is an unrevealed card "underneath" the discarded card, he must reveal that unrevealed card. Professions are called in such a way that the player must start a trick with a card from the profession, for example, if the player has 4 guys, he can call them only when it is his turn to "start a new trick" [not by responding to the card with which the opponent started the trick], therefore, must throw one of those 4 guys first; it may happen that the opponent "breaks" his vocation by forcing him to discard one of those 4 guys in response to one of his cards - in that case - nothing from the vocation.

It can be called indefinitely, eg a player can have 7+8+9 in spades and call 20 by throwing a seven; after throwing the week, if there is an unrevealed card under it, he must reveal that unrevealed card, for example the ten of spades; now he has 8+9+10 of spades revealed and if his opponent does not "break" his rank, when it is his turn to throw, he can start the suit with one of those three cards and [again] call 20... If the player has, for example, 4 nines and 50 in hertz [7+8+9+10]: by throwing hertz nines, he can simultaneously call "150" [4 nines] and "50" [7+8+9+10 in hertz]... If the player has, for example, 50 in checkers [10+boy+queen+king], and the checker is a trump card: by throwing checkers, the lady [queen] can simultaneously call "50" [10+boy+queen+king] and "white" [queen+king in trump ]…

The person who called trump must collect at least 50%+1 point from the total (z) number of points of the entire game. Otherwise, it is written "fall" = 0 points ("long minus"), and the opponent/ci 162 points + possible titles of both own and the opponent/s. Given that, on average, in Open White, one hand can collect around 150-200 points, [due to the "strong" vocations], it is usually played [to pass] up to 1001.
