 * Delete per WP:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day and (due to the unlikely name – what does this game have to do with the number 33???) as a likely hoax. The link to pagat.com makes no sense, as that site does not discuss a game of that name. Nor could I find any related there on the pages that mention the number. Same thing on the web: nothing. Games are a problem in that they should have some form of inherent notability once they are sufficiently widespread, but unlike dialects and unwritten languages, which not too many decades ago had the same problem, are still severely under-researched. I would be more inclined to give this game the benefit of the doubt if the rules were explained comprehensibly and these rules were plausible as something played by lots of people. That's not the case here. Hans Adler 06:25, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete the pagat link has been removed. I am fairly confident that this was WP:MADEUP the complexity of the game combined with the luck factor does not seem natural. The hand order seems artificial and doesn't reflect the probabilities. I doubt that this has ever been a notable card game and without sources should be deleted.Tetron76 (talk) 17:13, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete assuming good faith, the article doesn't do anything more than explain the rules. There is no assertion of notability, just rules to the game.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
