Wild escape
Wild escape, also known as daguai luzi (Mandarin: ; pinyin: "dà guài lù zi") or the joker's way is a card game originating in Shanghai, China. It is a team game for 6 players and played with three decks of cards. Objective. The objective of the game is to score, and increase one's level. A team wins the round . If one of the conditions is not achieved (i.e. one team makes the initial escape, but fails to fully escape before the other team), the round is a draw. If the offense team wins the round, they score  and their level advances. The team with the highest level wins the match, and the game is usually played until one team reaches a specific level. The first person to escape becomes the offense leader in the following round. Terminology. Offense leader. The first person to play in the round. Only the offense team can score (and raise the level). The first person to escape in a round is the offense leader in the next round. The offense leader of the first round is decided by a random card draw. Trump card. Trump cards are higher than all other cards  except jokers. Trump cards are determined by the offense’s team level in each game. The trump cards starts the game as the 2s, and can go up to aces, as the offense's team level advances. Escape. A player who has played all of the cards in hand has said to have "escaped". Trapped. A player is trapped at the end of a round, if still holding cards after all the players on the opposing team have escaped. Rules. Legal hands. A player can start a turn by playing: Wild cards. Jokers can be used as wild cards. A  wild card can become any single lower card in order to form a multi-card hand. For example, a joker and an ace may be played as a pair of aces. The highest possible rank of the play will be taken, for instance, joker-6-7-8-9 always counts as 6-7-8-9-10, rather than 5-6-7-8-9. Gameplay. During the game, a player can ask any other player for number of cards remaining in his hand. The other player must answer truthfully if he has 10 or fewer cards, otherwise he is not allowed to  answer. Scoring. Scoring is determined at the end of each round. The offense team is the team that started the round. The defending team is the opposing team. As stated earlier: Advancing levels. If the offense team scores and advances a level, the trump card changes. At the start of the game, the trump card is 2. For example, when the offense team scores, the trump card becomes 3. Tribute. Each defending player who was trapped, has to pay a tribute to the offense team. A tribute is the highest card in his hand. The trapped player (#6) has to  give one card to the player who escaped first (#1). If two players were trapped, then #5 has to give one card to #2. If three players were trapped, then #4 would have to give one card to #3. If the tribute card is not a Joker, the receiver returns a single card of his choice. Some players use a rule if the tribute card is a Joker, the tribute receiver must offer two cards. The tribute giver can keep one of the two cards, or keep both cards and return a card higher than either card. The tribute and  return cards are made public to all players.
