Playing Card
Balot Balot is a popular card game in Saudi Arabia. A lot of people like to play it, from old men to young boys. The game has become a tradition for young people. They play it anywhere: in front of the sea, in coffee shop and in their apartments. Balot has a basic set of rules all players have to learn suits and apply. Before play one must have 4 players and 32 cards from the ace to the 7 in all suits. The game has two different styles, San and Hokom. There is also the balding of hands for the score and different roles between areas. By learning the ryles of Balot you will learn how to play it. First, the San, in the San the order of the cards form the highest to the lowest is A, 10, king, queen, jack, 9, 8, 7. When one of the players choose San that's the order that all players must play in. The same order applies to all shapes. For example, if one of the players throw the 10 of hearts and no one throws the ace and we know that the 10 is the second in order, that means he will take the four play cards and throw another card. If one of the players throw the 8 of hearts and no one has any card from the same suit, he will take the four cards even if one of them throw, the 10 or king the 8 will be the highest card, because it is one of kind. If one of the players didn't play the same suit that the other players playing, the round is over and the other team gets the points. In the San the total of the points is 26, divided by the teams by the cards they collect in the round. Each card has its own values, A=11, 10=10, K=4, Q=3, J=2, 9- 8- 7= 0. We count the cards and we see who got the highest number, each 10 in the count = 2 points. If the team how said San it's ok if the other team, as the 26 points will go to the other team. The San is easy to play and easy to lose the game with, so most players take San when they have powerful cards. The second hand , the Hokom, is a little complicated than San but it's more fun. When the players choose Hokom one of them

    Star Power is a game that simulates interaction between groups within a stratified society. The game begins with every one having equal opportunity to ascend. After the first round, the facilitator separates and labels the groups as squares, circles, and triangles. The squares represent the upper class or upper management. The circles represent the middle class or middle management. The triangles represent the lower class or laborers. In the following rounds, there is the addition of bonus points which the group needs to spend in a timely manner. From this point, things are stacked in favor of the squares. Their resources (the bag of colored chips) contain more of the high point valued chips. At a point in the game, the squares make new rules with or without input from the other groups. The rules usually help maintain the power position of the squares whether knowingly or not.…

    To play connect four, you have a standing-up board with seven vertical rows of clear circles, and six horizontal rows of circles, making up a total of forty-two circles. You will also need two players, or a single person that will play as both. First, player one puts a red circle piece into one of the seven columns, and then player two puts a blue circle piece into one of the seven columns. The circle pieces will go to the lowest vacant spot on the vertical row it was selected on. You keep repeating these two steps until one player has four pieces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. If all the circles are filled and none of them are winner patterns, than it is a tie between the players. My program will use graphics. The title screen will have three buttons, one is it play the game, the second will give instructions then loop back to the title, and the last will be “Quit”, which will exit the program. When you press “Play”, there will be a new screen that has the board, a score board that shows how many wins each player has. Once a player wins, or it is a tie, a mini screen will pop up to ask the player if he/she would like to play the game again, or return to the title screen Instead of making clear, circles, I will make a rectangle, than put the forty two circles on the rectangle. I will make the program a certain theme that I will come up with later.…

    When I first played the game, I didn’t really have any initial strategy in mind. I just picked numbers at random to choose until getting down to the last few. I thought this game was very simple and easy to understand. One key insight I had was to cross out three marks to get rid of most of the marks. When it came down to the final three or four marks, I had to look carefully at them to see what numbers I could choose before the next person’s turn, so after their turn there would be one, two, or three marks left. For instance, if there were 5 marks left, I could cross out one, and then any number the next person picked would leave me with a number of marks I could cross out with one, two, or three crosses. This is when I realized the strategy of this game.…
