Game Play
The game uses a standard French deck of playing cards. 1 deck is used for 2-4 players (52 cards), 2 decks are used for 5-7 players (104 cards) and 3 decks are used for 8-12 players (156 cards). Each player is dealt 4 cards and a 4 card community pile is also dealt. The general purpose of Turup is to collect the most amount of cards from the community pile that add or equal a card from a players individual hands. After a deal the first person to the left of the dealer begins the play. The dealer also rotates to the left after each round. There are two ways to collect the cards from the community pile; a match or addition. Face cards cannot be won with addition and can only be won as a match. Only one card from the players hand can be played at a time and after a play is made play moves to the next player. Aces are valued as a One(1).

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or play:
“Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
“This fellow is wise enough to play the fool,
And to do that well craves a kind of wit.
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
Not, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eye. This is a practice
As full of labor as a wise man’s art.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
