Beginner's Guide
Sorting Stage:

Determine how many hands it will take to play all cards;

When obtaining the right to play first, pay attention to whether there is a "first-round victory" (playing all cards at once).
Playing Stage:
With cards, you can play over 90% of your hand in one go;
Based on the number of "2s", create multiple combinations;
Single "rocket" cannot be included with cards, only hanging, which needs special consideration;
In the absence of a starting advantage, consider how to avoid being the last.
Game Start:
1/The player with the right to draw cards first draws first, followed by clockwise drawing of cards.
2/The player with the first move right starts playing, followed by others in clockwise order, known as "rotation of cards."
3/Playing a card higher than the previous player's card is called "asking for cards."
4/If a player in rotation does not asking for cards, it is known as "passing." The rotation of cards then continues clockwise, and so on.
5/If a player plays all cards in their hand and wins, they leave the game, and the player with the first right to "receive the wind" takes over the right to play, known as "receiving the wind," and so on.

1、Why is MarsMatch fun?
The game has only four types of card-playing methods: "with cards," "bombs," "sequential cards," and "hanging cards"; among them, the rules of "with cards" need to be mastered skillfully, while other rules are straightforward and easy to understand, and can be learned at once.
2、Why is MarsMatch easy to learn?
Game cheating generally refers to peeking, marking, signaling, card switching, etc. MarsMatch game has 54 cards per person, and since the order of playing cards and matching methods are not fixed, and each person can play all cards in two to three hands, the exposure and replacement of individual cards are meaningless.
3、Why is MarsMatch said to prevent cheating?
It's common to take 2-3 hands; "first-round victory" and over 4 hands are less common.
4、How many hands does it usually take to play all the cards?
Following international conventions. For example, in the famous game of Texas Hold'em, dealing and playing cards are clockwise; in Bridge, bidding, dealing, and playing cards are all clockwise.
5、Why is the order of drawing and playing cards clockwise?
a.In a situation where winning is possible, assess whether not playing a card may lead to the opponent winning;
b. Take risks based on the psychological fear of other players about playing starting hands too early.
6、What is risk assessment?
a. Assess the possibility of a "super bomb" (such as paying special attention to players who haven't played a "3" based on the average value and the number of "3s" already played);
b. Determine if multiple bombs in hand can be played (for example, in a four-player game, the possibility of having 7 or more bombs is high);
c. Endurance to avoid being the last.
7、What are the three elements of winning?
"3" is the smallest in single cards, but if there are exactly six "3s", it forms a "super bomb". More or less than six "3s" can only be played in other categories. The "super bomb" increases the uncertainty of the maximum starting hand, making the game more exciting.
8、Why are there "super bombs" in the rules?
A "super bomb" is an absolute starting hand, a "rocket" is a basic starting hand, and generally should not be exposed too early.
You should seize the opportunity to maximize their effectiveness. For example, a "super bomb" effectively counters a big rocket, but consider whether you still have other starting hands in your hand.
Principles of starting hands:
Reduce others' opportunities to play cards and increase your own：
a.Secure the worst hand as a backup.
b.Control others' starting hands.
c. The hand with the most cards is generally played later to avoid being analyzed for remaining cards.
9、When should starting hands be played?
"2s" are wild cards, which is their biggest advantage; however, they cannot be paired with "kings", cannot form a bomb, and cannot form a "star chain".
These three disadvantages should be noted.
10、What are the advantages and disadvantages of "2s"?
Since almost all cards can be played in the form of accompanying cards, single cards and pairs are relatively rare, and so are single sequences and double sequences. Because of limited starting hand opportunities, the number of times cards are played should be minimized.
Therefore, it particularly tests the ability to match.
11、Why do single cards and pairs have a low presence?
A single "king" is a big burden. Whether played singly or hanged, it's best to play it later to prevent others from analyzing whether you have a "rocket".
12、How to handle a single "king"?
Two types of card combinations for a "first-round victory":
a.A "super bomb" (6 cards); 6 sets of "star chains" (24 cards) with 12 pairs (24 cards).
b. A "super bomb" (6 cards); "rockets" from 3 to A (36 cards) with 12 cards.
*The premise is no "kings".
13、When does a First Turn Win (known as "Heavenly Hand") occur?
