Jigger 2011

Jigger is a Children’s Game for the Decktet in the vein of “Go Fish”. One Decktet for every 3 players is recommended, so in theory the game can accommodate an unlimited number of players.

Players begin the game with a hand of 5 cards. The lead player calls out “I demand …” naming one of the Decktet’s six suits. Players who are holding cards of this suit must surrender all of them to fulfill the demand. Players who can’t answer the demand holler “Jigger!” and then go fishing from the draw pile until they can give up a card which matches suit. The next player in turn order then makes her demand and play continues in this way until the deck runs out. Cards in players’ takes are then tallied and the player with the most cards wins.
