SETTING
Indoor
MATERIALS
- A deck of 32 playing cards (stripped of low cards)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Deal the cards evenly among four players seated across from their partner.
2
Bidding decides whether the round is played in a suit contract or a special no-trump style round.
3
Players take turns playing one card each to a trick, following the led suit when possible.
4
The highest card of the led suit, or the highest trump if any trumps are played, wins the trick for that team.
5
Certain card combinations held before play, like sequences, earn bonus points when declared.
6
After all cards are played, add up trick points and declared bonuses; the team with the higher score wins the hand.
