╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ TOMMY'S MICHIGAN, DOS VERSION, (C) COPYRIGHT 1997 BY ║ ║ TOMMY'S TOYS, P. O. BOX 11261, DENVER, CO 80211 USA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ║ ║ CATALOG #TM-205-1A. ║ ║ HTTP://WWW.TOMMYSTOYS.COM TOMTOYS@AOL.COM ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ INTRODUCTION: MICHIGAN (CHICAGO) IS THE MOST POPULAR OF THE STOPS FAMILY OF CARD GAMES, WHICH INCLUDES COMET, COMMIT, AND BOODLE (NEWMARKET). THIS PROGRAM IMPLEMENTS THEM ALL. ALL OF THESE GAMES WERE BORN AROUND THE TIME OF THE RETURN OF HALLEY'S COMET TO EARTH IN 1759. COMMIT IS JUST BAD SPELLING FOR COMET. THE GOAL IS ALWAYS TO BE THE FIRST TO RID YOUR HAND OF ALL CARDS, PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE COMET IS APPROACHING AND IT'S TIME TO LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE AND JOIN IT (JUST KIDDING, SOME EARTHLINGS ARE REAL CARDS, HA HA). BOODLE DEVELOPED FROM COMET, AND MICHIGAN FROM BOODLE, BY POPULAR DEMAND, TO HAVE LUCK PLAY A LARGER ROLE IN COMPARISON TO SKILL. PLAYERS: COMET: 2-5. COMMIT: 3-7. BOODLE, MICHIGAN: 3-8. YOU ALWAYS PLAY HAND 1 AND THE COMPUTER PLAYS THE REST. *NOTE: IN THE UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE VERSION THE PROGRAM EXITS IF YOU TRY TO START A NEW DEAL AFTER 5 MIN. OF GAME PLAY. SORRY, BUT WE HAVE TO BE FAIR TO THE PAYING CUSTOMERS (GRIN). THE POTS: EACH PLAYER STARTS OUT WITH 1000 CHIPS. ANY TIME A PLAYER IS REDUCED TO LESS THAN 20 CHIPS HE DROPS OUT OF THE GAME. WHEN THE PLAYERS ARE REDUCED TO LESS THAN NEEDED FOR A GAME THE MATCH ENDS AND A NEW ONE BEGINS. GAME OBJECT: TO BE THE FIRST PLAYER TO RID HIS HAND OF CARDS, OR "GO OUT". THE DECK: COMET: TWO 52-CARD PACKS WITH ACES STRIPPED, LEAVING 48 CARDS EACH. ALL RED CARDS ARE PLACED IN ONE DECK, ALL BLACK CARDS IN ANOTHER, THEN ONE 9 OF CLUBS AND ONE 9 OF DIAMONDS ARE EXCHANGED, BECOMING THE COMETS. RANK IS KING (HIGH) ... 2 (LOW). ONLY ONE OF THE 48-CARD PREPARED PACKS ARE USED IN A DEAL, EACH CONTAINING 1 COMET. COMMIT: THE PACK OF 52 WITH THE 8 OF DIAMONDS DISCARDED. THE 9 OF DIAMONDS IS THE COMET. RANKING IS KING (HIGH) ... ACE (LOW). BOODLE: THE REGULAR 52-CARD PACK IS USED. RANKING IS KING (HIGH) ... ACE (LOW). OPTIONALLY, THE 9 OF DIAMONDS MAY BE DECLARED A COMET, IN WHICH CASE THE 8 OF DIAMONDS IS REMOVED FROM THE DECK. MICHIGAN: THE REGULAR 52-CARD PACK IS USED. THERE IS NO COMET. RANK IS ACE (HIGH) ... 2 (LOW). NOTE THIS IS THE ONLY VARIANT WHERE ACE IS HIGH INSTEAD OF LOW. THE COMET: THE 9 OF CLUBS OR DIAMONDS, DEPENDING ON THE GAME (NOT ALL USE IT), IS CALLED THE COMET, AND FUNCTIONS IN THE GAME AS A WILD CARD, PERMITTING A PLAYER TO DISCARD HIS CARDS FASTER USUALLY. THERE IS A PENALTY FOR HOLDING A COMET WHEN ANOTHER PLAYER BEATS YOU AND GOES OUT FIRST. DEALER: IS SELECTED RANDOMLY THE COMPUTER EACH TIME. THE DUMMY OR WIDOW: IN ADDITION TO THE REAL PLAYERS, A DUMMY (WIDOW, DEAD) PLAYER IS DEALT TO AT THE DEALER'S LEFT. BOODLE OR MONEY CARDS (BOODLE AND MICHIGAN ONLY): A LAYOUT IS PLACED ON THE TABLE PRIOR TO THE DEAL: ACE OF DIAMONDS, KING OF CLUBS, QUEEN OF DIAMONDS (THE CASH QUEEN), JACK OF SPADES. BOODLE: PRIOR TO THE DEAL, DEALER ANNOUNCES THE NUMBER OF CHIPS THAT EACH PLAYER MUST ANTE TO THE LAYOUT, FROM 4-10. EACH PLAYER MAY DISTRIBUTE HIS CHIPS AS HE PLEASES ON THESE BOODLE OR MONEY CARDS. MICHIGAN: PRIOR TO THE DEAL, DEALER ANTES 2 CHIPS, AND EACH OTHER PLAYER ANTES 1 CHIP, ON EACH BOODLE CARD. THE ANTE AND THE POOL: IN ADDITION TO THE BOODLE CARDS THERE IS A POOL OR POT ON THE TABLE. BEFORE THE DEAL ALL PLAYERS ANTE AN EQUAL NUMBER OF CHIPS TO THE POOL, FROM 0-10. THE DEAL: COMET AND BOODLE: DEALER DEALS CARDS ONE AT A TIME TO THE REAL PLAYERS, AND THE CARDS REMAINING ARE SET DOWN FACE DOWN AS THE DUMMY. PLAYERS EACH RECEIVE FROM 6 TO 18 CARDS (FOR 8 TO 2 PLAYERS IN GAME), LEAVING THE DUMMY FROM 3 TO 12. RUN THE PROGRAM TO SEE THE EXACT NUMBER. COMMIT: DEALER DEALS CARDS ONE AT A TIME TO THE REAL PLAYERS AS FAR AS THEY GO EVENLY. THE REMAINDER ARE THEN USED AS THE DEAD HAND. MICHIGAN: DEALER DEALS CARDS ONE AT A TIME TO THE LEFT BEGINNING WITH THE WIDOW. THE WHOLE PACK IS DEALT EVEN THOUGH SOME HANDS MAY END UP WITH MORE CARDS THAN OTHERS. THE AUCTION (MICHIGAN ONLY): THE WIDOW HAND IS THE PROPERTY OF THE DEALER. HE MAY EXCHANGE IT FOR HIS ORIGINAL HAND, OR ELSE HE MUST AUCTION IT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. IF SOMEBODY BUYS IT THEY TRADE THEIR HAND WITH IT. THEREAFTER NOBODY CAN LOOK AT IT. THE AUCTION IS CONDUCTED STARTING WITH ELDEST HAND, AND ONCE A PLAYER PASSES HE DROPS OUT OF THE AUCTION; THE DEALER IS EXCLUDED FROM THE AUCTION BECAUSE HE IS THE SELLER. THE PLAY: THE OBJECT OF PLAY IS TO GET RID OF ALL THE CARDS IN YOUR HAND, OR "GO OUT", FIRST. ELDEST HAND (FIRST REAL PLAYER TO LEFT OF DEALER) STARTS THE PLAY. TO ENTER A CARD: USING THE MOUSE, JUST POINT AT IT AND CLICK. USING THE KEYBOARD, FIRST ENTER THE SUIT (HDCS), THEN THE RANK (A23456789TJQK). YOU CAN HIT THE ESC KEY TO START OVER. COMET: ELDEST HAND BEGINS BY LEADING ANY CARD IN HIS HAND. HE CONTINUES PLAY SO LONG AS HE CAN ADD CARDS IN ASCENDING SEQUENCE IN ANY SUIT. ALL CARDS PLAYED ARE STACKED IN ONE PILE IN THE CENTER OF THE TABLE AND PEEKING BACK IS NOT PERMITTED. WHEN A PLAYER CANNOT CONTINUE, THE TURN THEN PASSES TO THE PLAYER ON HIS LEFT (RIGHT ON THE SCREEN), WHO MUST CONTINUE FROM THE POINT WHERE THE SEQUENCE WAS INTERRUPTED, SUIT BEING DISREGARDED. IF HE CAN'T PLAY AT ALL HE PASSES. A HAND MUST PLAY IN TURN IF ABLE AND CONTINUE SO LONG AS POSSIBLE, EXCEPT THAT IF THE ONLY PLAYABLE CARD IS THE COMET HE MAY PASS IN ORDER TO PRESERVE IT. WHENEVER A PLAYER PLAYS A KING HE EFFECTS A STOP (ORIGINALLY, HOC) AND STARTS A NEW SEQUENCE BEGINNING WITH ANY CARD IN HIS HAND HE CHOOSES. A PLAYER MAY ALSO START A NEW SEQUENCE IF ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS HAVE PASSED. PLAY CONTINUES UNTIL ONE PLAYER'S HAND IS EXHAUSTED AND HE GOES OUT. A COMET ACTS AS A WILD CARD, AND WHEN ONE IS PLAYED THE PLAYER GETS TO START A NEW SEQUENCE. COMET VALUE: IN COMET, WHEN A PLAYER PLAYS A COMET HE IMMEDIATELY COLLECTS N CHIPS FROM EVERY OTHER PLAYER, WHERE N IS THE COMET BASE VALUE, 2 INITIALLY, BUT DOUBLING FOR EVERY HAND WHERE IT IS DEALT TO DEAD HANDS UNTIL IT IS USED. COMMIT: PLAY IS AS IN COMET EXCEPT THAT THE 9 OF DIAMONDS IS THE COMET; ITS OWNER MAY CHOOSE TO PLAY IT WHEN UNABLE TO PLAY NORMALLY, AND COLLECTS 2 CHIPS IMMEDIATELY FROM EACH OTHER PLAYER; A PLAYER PLAYING A KING WINS 1 CHIP FROM EACH PLAYER. BOODLE: ELDEST HAND BEGINS BY LEADING ANY SUIT, BUT MUST LEAD THE LOWEST RANKING CARD HE HOLDS OF THAT SUIT. THE HAND HOLDING THE NEXT-HIGHER RANK OF THAT SUIT THEN MUST PLAY IT, AND SO ON UNTIL EITHER A KING IS PLAYED, OR A STOP IS REACHED, MEANING THAT THE DEAD HAND HAS THE NEEDED CARD. THE HAND THAT PLAYED LAST BEFORE THE STOP THEN MAY START A NEW SEQUENCE, PROVIDED HE PLAYS THE LOWEST RANKING CARD IN HIS HAND OF THE CHOSEN SUIT, WHICH MAY EVEN BE THE SAME AS THE SUIT THAT WAS JUST STOPPED. EACH PLAYER PLAYS HIS CARDS TO HIS OWN PILE IN FRONT OF HIM, BUT CARDS BENEATH THE TOP ONE CANNOT BE PEEKED BACK AT. MICHIGAN: ELDEST HAND LEADS ANY CARD, BUT IT MUST BE THE LOWEST RANK HE HOLDS IN THAT SUIT. THE PLAYER HOLDING THE NEXT-HIGHER RANK OF THAT SUIT THEN PLAYS IT, AND SO ON UNTIL THE PLAY IS STOPPED BY THE PLAY OF THE ACE, OR BECAUSE THE REQUIRED CARD IS IN THE DEAD HAND. THE HAND THAT LAST PLAYED BEFORE A STOP THEN STARTS A NEW SEQUENCE, PROVIDED HE CAN CHANGE SUIT. IF HE CANNOT, HE MUST PASS AND THE TURN PASSES TO HIS LEFT. IF ALL PASS, THE DEAL IS ENDED WITHOUT FURTHER SCORING. EVERY NEW SEQUENCE MUST BE STARTED WITH THE LOWEST RANKING CARD OF THE SUIT IN THE PLAYER'S HAND. EACH PLAYER PLAYS HIS CARDS TO HIS OWN PILE IN FRONT OF HIM, BUT CARDS BENEATH THE TOP ONE CANNOT BE PEEKED BACK AT. BOODLE OR MONEY CARDS (BOODLE AND MICHIGAN): WHEN A PLAYER PLAYS A CARD DUPLICATING A BOODLE CARD, HE TAKES ALL THE CHIPS ON THAT CARD IMMEDIATELY. CHIPS REMAIN ON BOODLE CARDS BETWEEN HANDS UNTIL DULY WON. SETTLEMENT: PLAYER GOING OUT FIRST WINS THE POOL PLUS: COMET: FOR THE CARDS REMAINING IN EACH OTHER HAND: 10 CHIPS FOR EACH FACE CARD AND THE PIP VALUE FOR ALL OTHER CARDS. DOUBLE THIS IF CAUGHT WITH THE COMET IN HAND. WHEN A PLAYER GOES OUT BY PLAYING THE COMET FOR HIS LAST CARD, NOT AS A NINE, HE COLLECTS DOUBLE FROM EVERY OTHER HAND; AND IF HE PLAYS THE COMET LAST AND AS A NATURAL NINE (AFTER PLAY OF AN EIGHT) HE COLLECTS QUADRUPLE. COMMIT: ONE CHIP FOR EACH KING REMAINING IN THE OTHER HANDS, PLUS 2 CHIPS FROM A PLAYER STILL HOLDING THE COMET IF ANY. BOODLE: ONE CHIP FOR EACH CARD REMAINING IN EVERY OTHER HAND. IF A 9 OF DIAMONDS IS USED AS A COMET, IT IS PAID 1 CHIP BY EVERY OTHER HAND WHEN PLAYED, AND COSTS 2 CHIPS IF LEFT IN THE HAND WHEN ANOTHER GOES OUT. MICHIGAN: ONE CHIP FOR EACH CARD REMAINING IN EVERY OTHER HAND. GAME OPTIONS: ------------- *NOTE: THESE OPTIONS ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE VERSIONS. COLOR OPTION (MICHIGAN): IN THIS OPTION A PLAYER STARTING A NEW SEQUENCE MUST NOT ONLY START A NEW SUIT, BUT IT MUST BE OF THE OPPOSITE COLOR TO THE PREVIOUS SUIT (RED-BLACK). EXTRA BOODLES (BOODLE AND MICHIGAN): YOU CAN PLAY WITH THESE EXTRA BOODLES AS DESIRED: TEN OF HEARTS (BOOBY PRIZE) 7-8-9 RUN (ALL OF ONE SUIT, BY SAME PLAYER) Q-K OF HEARTS RUN (BY SAME PLAYER) *NOTE: SOME VERSIONS OF MICHIGAN HAVE A POKER POOL, WHERE AT THE END OF THE DEAL PLAYERS WOULD VIE FOR THE HIGHEST POKER HAND FROM THE CARDS DEALT TO THEM. THIS PROGRAM DOESN'T IMPLEMENT THIS, SORRY. SPINADO OR SPIN OPTION (BOODLE AND MICHIGAN): WITH THIS OPTION, THE ACE OF DIAMONDS HAS A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE. IT MAY BE PLAYED TOGETHER WITH A REGULAR CARD IN SEQUENCE, AND THEN IT SERVES AS A STOP, ENTITLING THE PLAYER TO START A NEW SEQUENCE EVEN THOUGH HE COULD HAVE CONTINUED THE FORMER SEQUENCE. SARATOGA OPTION (BOODLE): EACH PLAYER ANTES THE SAME AMOUNT ON EACH BOODLE CARD, 1-5 CHIPS. (THIS IS THE WAY THE MICHIGAN VARIANT OF BOODLE DEVELOPED). KITTY OPTION (MICHIGAN): IN THIS VARIANT ALL BIDS FOR THE DUMMY HAND GO TO THE KITTY (POOL), AND THE PLAYER GOING OUT WINS THE KITTY. THE CHIPS COLLECTED FOR PLAYERS' UNPLAYED CARDS THEN GO INTO THE KITTY FOR THE NEXT DEAL, INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE PLAYER GOING OUT ON THAT DEAL.
