Grouping Black & White

Final Match 2: Grouping Black & White

Each Player Starts each Set with tiles number 0-8.

0,2,4,6,8 are black. 1,3,5,7 are white.

A set consists of 2 phases, Grouping and Betting.

-

Grouping:

Players must group their tiles into 3 groups labeled A,B,C.

A is size 2, B is size 3, C is sized 4.

Once this is done, the order of the tiles in each group is randomized. Then the groups are placed in a random order.

E.g:

A contains 0,1

B contains 2,3,4

C contains 5,6,7,8

Then if The random Order Is CAB, the tiles could appear like [7,5,8,6][0,1][3,2,4]

You will not know the order the groups are randomised. Each Player may have a different order of groups.

-

Betting:

Players both start with 100 chips. Players will be each dealt one of their tiles face down, in the order generated by the grouping. You will be told the colour of each of the tiles. Then betting will begin from the starting Player. The winner of the last round is the starting player. Every round, players will pay the ante. (starting at 1 chip). There are 3 actions you may take when betting:

Bet/Raise: Bid more than your opponent, the action passes to the other player. You may not raise by more than 10 chips. You may not raise past the total chips your opponent has.

Fold: You give up the round and your opponent get their bet chips back. Your bet chips are discarded. If you fold, you will get to see your opponents’ number. Your opponent will not be told its value. If you fold an 8, you discard 8 chips as a penalty, this is announced publicly.

Call: Match your opponents last bet. Both tiles are revealed. The player with the larger number gets their bet chips returned. The other persons chips are discarded. If it is a draw, all chips in the pot are discarded. If this causes both players to run out of chips, both players keep their bet chips instead.

-

Play continues until 9 rounds have passed and all tiles have been dealt. Once this has happened, the set ends and a new one begins, and you must regroup your tiles.

However, you may only swap 1 number from groups A and B, and only 2 from group C. (at least 5 numbers will remain in their current group)

After every 2 sets the anti is increased by 1 chip. If a player cannot bet the anti, they lose the Final Match.

If both players can’t, the player with more chips wins. If chips are equal, the next player to win a hand, wins.

-
