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.
