SHANGHI CARD GAME by Flashsolutions

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a set of parts for a card game that can be played for money or just for fun.
It includes a one cent coin, a five cent coin, and a cup to hold the coins. The quantity of cups and coins can be printed as desired.
I printed 1 large cup and 4 smaller cups sized at 80% of the original along with 42 one cent coins and 40 five cent coins which accommodates four players.
The coin cups can be scaled if you prefer, as I did, to 80% to make 4 smaller cups and leave the cup at 100% to be used for the pot.
Print as many 80% cups as you will have players, up to 7, maybe 8. The game requires two decks of card, three if 5 or more players.
The rules for the game are as follows:
For 4 players, I let the bank give out 4 five cent coins and 10 one cent coins to each player for a starting bank roll. If a player runs out before the end of the game, he/she can buy more from the bank.
