Muushig is the most played strategy card game in Mongolia. It can be played by 2 to 5 players.

The term 'Muushig' is not derived from the word 'mushgi.' It is said that players who lose without resigning and continue to play without giving up, contribute to the gameplay by adding a score without any condition, and this is called 'muushig' when the score reaches five.

Rules of the Muushig
Players: The Muushig game can be played from 2 to 5 players. In some cases, it can be played with 2 to 4 players. Decreasing the number of cards is permissible during this time. For instance, when played by 2 players, cards with numbers 7, 8, 9 can be removed.

Cards
When playing with 5 players, the game is played with cards: Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7. The total number of cards is 32. However, if the number of players is less, such as 2 or 3 players, cards with numbers 7 and 8 can be removed.

Rules
In the general game, the player tries to reduce his score to 0 as much as possible. At the beginning of the game, all players have the same score of 15. Points will be deducted based on the number of houses built in that game. Therefore, each player tries to build as many houses as possible in that game. If a player fails to build a home in that game, his score is increased by 5. So, the player decides to enter the game based on whether he can build a house or not. If you have 4 stamps, you win the game outright.

Shuffle the cards
Players take turns in order to select and divide the cards in each round. Those actively participating, the banker, the dealer, and others are identified based on their positions. The person actively participating and dividing cards is referred to as the banker, while the person dealing cards and sitting across from the banker is called the dealer. These roles rotate, each with their own benefits. The banker has the privilege to keep the cards they draw, whereas the dealer has the right to exchange cards with the central cards. After the banker selects their cards, they distribute three cards to each player. Following this, the designated suit for the round is revealed by placing one of the remaining cards face up on the table. This suit becomes dominant for that round and has advantages over other suits. Cards not selected are displayed face down below the table and are referred to as the garden. Players use these cards for exchanging in their hands.

Determining Entry
After the distribution of cards among the players, the decision of entering the current round is made. A player determines whether they will enter the round based on the cards they have received and the potential for exchange. The player identified as the 'dealer' announces their intention to enter the round first, followed by the remaining players in sequence. The player who has most recently played makes the final announcement. If a player has already entered, the last two players proceed to play automatically. If the player who played in the previous three rounds has not entered, they are also bound by the rule of automatic entry.

Exchange
After determining their entry into the game, the player who chooses to enter can exchange their cards with the cards that are laid out on the table. The exchange process begins with the dealer, and each player follows a specific order. The first player selects any number of cards from their hand and takes the same number of cards from the garden, the set of face-down cards on the table. The next player then takes the remaining cards from the garden to match the number of cards they discarded. It's important to note that players aim to strategically improve their hand by exchanging cards from their hand with those in the garden.

On the other hand, the player who has completed their turn gains a special privilege of being able to take one face-up card from the garden, which contains cards that have been flipped.

Game
The player identified as the 'dealer' is referred to as the banker, and by entering a tile into the round, the game begins. This action triggers the start of the game for each player in sequence, where they each take a tile from this set. This set of tiles is called a bag, and the most valuable tile drawn from it becomes their winning tile, giving them the highest privilege.

When the first card is drawn, the following rules are observed when other players want to draw a card:"


 * When drawing a card of the same suit as the one revealed (For example, if a green card is drawn when the revealed card is also green), you must either eat it immediately, or if you have only one more card remaining, you can call 'eat' with a symbol. Also, if you have drawn the card facing down, and it's your last card, you must expose and eat it by flipping it over and placing a marker on it.
 * When drawing a card of the same suit as the one you have already drawn, only high-numbered cards should be drawn. (For instance, if a player has drawn a ten of circles and claims to have a queen of circles, they can only draw the queen of circles.)
 * If you do not have a card of the same suit, you can either draw using a card of the suit of a card already revealed, or if you have no card of the required suit, you can draw any other card.
 * If a card in the garden has multiple suits, you must choose one suit and ignore the other.

Another important rule is that when a player initially enters the round by drawing the first card and if the card is a joker (wildcard), they must reveal it. If the joker is revealed, it must be removed from play immediately. If the joker is removed, its point value is disregarded, and the worst card in terms of point value becomes the joker.

When a player does not have a card to play, the round concludes. During this phase, each player scores points based on the total value of cards in their possession. However, if a player enters the round but fails to place a card, they receive a penalty of 5 points. A player who did not participate in the round will not experience any changes to their score.

If as a result of this play, any player reaches 0 or fewer points, the game ends.
