Pesten With Cards: A Classic Dutch Card Game Explained
Pesten With Cards, literally translated as Bullying With Cards, is a beloved Dutch card game enjoyed across generations. It's similar to other international shedding-style games such as Mau-Mau, Crazy Eights, Uno, Shedding, Puque, Чешский Дурак, Фараон, Крокодил, Tschau Sepp, and others. The main objective? Be the first player to get rid of all your cards.
Before playing your final card, you must declare “Last Card” by clicking the designated button in-game. Forgetting to do so results in a penalty—you’ll draw two extra cards from the stock. Similarly, falsely claiming "Last Card" when not on your final card also incurs the same penalty.
How to Play Pesten With Cards
The game can be played using multiple decks, including jokers. Each player starts with 7 cards. The remaining cards are placed face-down as the stock. The top card of this pile is turned face-up to begin play.
Players take turns clockwise. If the starting card is a special "Pest-card," its effect is immediately triggered as if the dealer had played it.
On your turn, you must play a card that matches either the number or suit of the card currently on top of the pile. Jokers and Jacks are exceptions—they can be played on any card.
If you cannot play a valid card, you must draw one from the stock. If this drawn card can be played, you’re given the option to play it immediately or keep it for later.
Last Card Rule
When you're down to your final card, you must click the “Last Card” button above your hand to notify others. This rule applies even when it’s not your turn, so it's wise to press the button early to avoid penalties.
If you win the round by playing your last card without declaring “Last Card,” you'll receive a penalty of two additional cards. Likewise, falsely announcing “Last Card” when not on your final card will also result in a penalty.
You win the round once you successfully play your final card—provided it is not a special card (see below).
Special Cards and Their Effects
Each card may trigger a unique action depending on the game settings. These rules can vary widely in different regions, so make sure to configure them correctly in your game options before starting.
Joker
The next player must draw 5 cards from the stack. If they hold a Joker, they can play it, forcing the following player to draw 10 cards. Each additional Joker played increases the total by 5. Drawn cards cannot be played immediately, and the turn passes to the next player.
Two
The next player draws 2 cards. If they have a Two, they can play it, causing the following player to draw 4 cards. Each subsequent Two adds 2 more to the count. In some versions, a Joker can be played on a Two, adding 5 to the total. However, you cannot play a Two on a Joker.
Seven
You must play another card immediately after placing a Seven. If you're down to your last card and play a Seven, remember to click “Last Card.” If you can't follow up with another playable card, you must draw from the stack.
Eight
The next player skips their turn. The player after them takes their turn instead. In a two-player match, this means you can play again immediately—similar to the effect of a Seven.
Ten
All players must give one card from their hand to the player on their left. [yyxx] Simply click on the card you wish to pass...
