Saotome realizes the setup orchestrated by the Momobamis and rushes to the game stage. The game is interrupted, and Mary Saotome who was with Vice President Ririka Momobami playing a game for 100 votes at stake, is called by Ryota who is to bring "somebody with lots of chips". Yumeko begins to feel sick and her condition worsens. Her hand was revealed to be a 2, 1, 1, and 3, which Ryota thinks that the hand in question is bad so he wonders why she would pay such a high vote count for it. Miyo reveals she has enough votes to pay, without falling in debt. Yumeko, Miri and Ryota play a 0, Miyo is unable to continue so she loses. Miyo plays a 3, this causes a total of 9, so whoever lacks a 0 first will lose. Nonetheless he believes Miyo to have participated on a 30 vote game since she must have a hand of low value cards to allow her to play. Ryota plays a 1, he reasons that playing a 1 or a 3 could be dangerous since it could lead to a sum of 9 and endanger Yumeko if she has no 0. Yumeko looks strangely silent and distracted. With the stack of cards made, the first round begins. However he decides to play anyway, Miyo Inbami follows afterwards. Next is Ryota Suzui, who begins to panic at how the risk increased so rapidly. Yumeko reasons that since they will be in debt anyway it is better to go at it big. The game begins and Yumeko Jabami starts, she bets 30 votes, exceeding what she has. In the event a player has an insufficient amount of votes, they can incur in a "debt of votes".Īn serum for the poison is at bet by the Hundred Devouring Families. To balance this, a new method of betting is introduced: serum syringes to combat the poison are worth 100 chips.Īll players bet their vote chips, which equal their right to vote and be eligible to be the Student Council President. In the manga and the anime, a new rule was introduced to increase the stakes when a player raises the total sum above 9, meaning when they lose, they have to prick their finger on nails polished with poison. The game continues in rounds until a player can no longer bet, or until a certain round number has been reached. If the total value exceeds 9, the player loses their bet. The card's value is added to the total value. At a player's turn, they must play a card from their hand by declaring its number and placing it down on the table. For example, a hand of is an alright hand, a hand of is a good hand, and a hand of is a bad hand. A hand's "strength" is a factor of how well a player can utilize their hand to avoid losing the game. The game starts with each player having four cards in their hand not revealed to their opponents. Players start betting with chips before the game starts, and can call, raise, or fold in relation to the bet. The deck is shuffled and four cards are dealt to each player. The game is played with a deck of cards special for the game, labeled with the primary colours (red, blue, yellow) and green and numbers from 0 to 3.
