    Bob Abbott showed letter from a mensa member with a game called DOYLE'S FOLLY. For 3 players it is played with a regular 52 card deck. These are dealt out; it doesn't matter that it is uneven. Play is in tricks. The highest card of trick suit led wins trick and picks up all the cards. He then leads to next trick which must be another suit.
    
    Object is to get rid of cards. First to get rid of cards wins (I am pretty sure that this is so - altho it is possible that play continues until only one player has cards left - but probably not).
    Since the only way to get rid of an Ace is to put it on a trick when you are out of a suit, if one player is dealt all four aces there is a re-deal.

For 4 hand see 8/10.
