Can I sell the box?

1. In the Chicago chouette, you can pick and choose who you double and redouble. Many chouettes require equal action on the cube, and many say that if you double any you must double the captain, and if you take any one must be the captain. Every chouette has their own rules.

2. In the Chicago chouette, you cannot buy or sell the box. If you bet the captain, you keep the box. If you make a settlement with the captain, and you either break even you retain the box. If you make a settlement and pay money to the captain, the captain becomes box.

3. Many chouettes require that to keep the box you must beat the captain and end up with a profit. In the Chicago chouette we play you only need to beat the captain.

I will not debate which rules are "better" or "more fair" as it depends on the makeup of your particular chouette and personal preference. It also is highly subjective as to what you consider to be more fun or interesting.

Anyone who would like to see a full, carefully-written set of rules for the Chicago Chouette, email me. You may not like or agree with our rules, and you can revise them for your own chou.

One thing I can assure you: if you have a chouette or any type of competition where there is money involved, you should have a written set of rules to refer to so everyone knows what the rules are and knows that you are not arbitrarily ruling against them. It will stop a lot of arguments. Also, if you sit down in a chouette in another city or with people you don't normally play with, take a few minutes to go over the rules to be sure you don't run into problems later.
