Talk:Pisha paysha

why was my addition removed?
Hi, I added this information to the site but it was removed, can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Just trying to share information about this great game that many would enjoy. Thanks, Sue

Pisha Paysha is a family game for three to six players, and can include new youngsters as soon as they know their numbers and are able to hold their cards.

The dealer deals out one deck, going round and round until all the cards are distributed. Depending on the number of players, some of the players may have one additional card, but it’s not really important.

Each player then arranges their cards by suits, going from Ace (low) to King (high). The object of the game is to have the players reconstitute each suit in long rows on the table by putting the cards out in the four suits, starting in the middle with a seven, and adding cards in both directions until the Ace and King are finally added.

The player to the left of the dealer starts off with a seven (if they happen to have been dealt a seven) or knocks on the table to pass. The action goes around the table to the left, and players can either put out a seven or attach a card to any seven that’s out there, by suit. If they don’t have either of those, they must knock and pass. Only one card can be put down by a player during each round.

The play keeps going around while each player tries to attach the next high or low card to the cards already out. The aim is to get your highest and lowest cards out on the table and be the first one to be rid of all your cards.

Strategy is involved. For example, a player can hold up the other players. If one player has the nine of diamonds but no other diamond, they can avoid putting out that nine as long as possible so that the players holding higher diamond cards won’t be able to discard them. Players are not allowed to knock and pass if they hold any card that can be added to any suit on the table. 2601:181:8201:4AA0:91F0:D010:59C4:A588 (talk) 23:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia requires that content have reliable third-party sources to support it. You'd need a published reference for the rules and gameplay. If you have a source, you can absolutely add this content. NekoKatsun (nyaa) 23:04, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for adding this, though. I was trying to remember the rules of this game my grandmother taught me when I was a child. Ron Schnell 06:40, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
