Cut Throat is a 3-player trick-taking card game played with a 54-card deck (a standard 52 plus the Big and Little Jokers). Each player gets 18 cards — no extra cards left over.
Each round, players are assigned a position with a different target number of "books" (tricks) they need to win:
Roles rotate every round, so everyone takes a turn in each spot.
The dealer calls the trump suit before plucking begins. Jokers are always the highest cards in the game — the Big Joker beats everything, the Little Joker beats everything except the Big Joker.
If you fall short of your book target in a round, you owe "plucks" to whoever beat their target. A pluck is a blind card swap: you offer a bait card in a suit, and the player you're plucking from gives you back their highest card in that suit — unless they have nothing higher, in which case they just hand your bait card back. You can also choose to skip a pluck if you don't want it — it still counts as given.
The game ends when a player is projected to have given 7 total plucks. Whoever has given the fewest plucks overall wins. If two players are tied for fewest, it's a "cat game" — a tie. If one player eliminates both opponents in the same round, that's a Double Up.
