Tonk (or Tunk) is a fast-moving card game that’s pretty easy to learn. First, you need the right number of players and cards. From there, you need to agree to stakes and decide who deals first to get started. Once you start playing a hand, you have an immediate chance to win if your cards equal a Tonk. Otherwise, there are a number of different way...
Gather enough people to play.
At the very least, find one other person to play you in a one-on-one contest. If more people are available, include up to five others in a game, for a total of six players.
Make sure your deck is full.
Either use a brand new pack fresh out of its wrapping, or double-check your old one to confirm that all cards are there. Either way, make sure you’re starting off with all 52 cards that make up a standard deck. A full deck should include:
Four “suits:” clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades.
13 cards per suit: ace, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, jack, queen, and king.
Count the value of your cards.
Once you’ve been dealt all your cards, gather them up and inspect them, being careful to not let the others see. Add the numerical values of the cards in your hand to find their total. In Tonk, the numerical values are:
Ten points for all picture cards (the jack, queen, and king)
The face value for numerical cards (for example, a two of hearts equals two points).
Declare Tonk if you have one.
If the cards in your hand add up to a total of 50 points, declare Tonk right away. This means you win the hand automatically without any further play. It also means that you win double the agreed-upon stakes per hand. However:
As you draw, discard, and form spreads, aim to beat the other players at it so that you lay down your last card before anyone else can do the same. Don’t hold on to cards unnecessarily. If you have a chance to start or add to the spread, do so immediately.
“Drop” to try winning before you empty your hand.
If you’re confident that the total value of the cards you’re holding will be lower than the other players’, tell them to “drop” their cards. Lay all your cards out to be seen by each other. If your total value is in fact lower than the rest, collect the basic stakes from each player.
If not, you must pay out the basic stakes to each player with a lower value than yours without collecting from the others. Also, whoever has the lowest value is the de facto winner, which means they collect the basic stakes from each player. This means you end up losing double stakes to that player.
