Just like Presidents, Kings, Warlords, Durak or Dai Hin Min (Daifugō), the objective of Murlan is to finish the game in the first place which is accomplished by discarding all the cards while following the game rules. The game starts with each player being dealt 13 or 14 cards.
The game can be played with 2 or 4 players
The player with 3 of spades starts the game. If that does not exist than a random player starts.
You can have these types of hands in the game:
Single card
Two of a kind
Three of a kind
Four of a kind (Power Hand) which can beat any other hand. There are no revolutions in this game, the order of power does not reverse when four of a kind is played.
Straight. Needs to have 5 cards or more. A straight can go from any card with face value of 3 to the red joker.
Enjoy this super addictive and fun card game.
