HOW TO PLAY
1

Deal all 52 cards evenly so each of the four players holds thirteen cards.

2

Before play begins, each player privately calls a number of tricks they believe they can win that round.

3

One suit is fixed as the trump suit for the entire game and can beat any card of another suit.

4

Players take turns leading tricks, following suit when possible, with the highest card or trump winning each trick.

5

At the end of the round, compare each player's actual tricks won against their called number to award or deduct points.

6

Play a set number of rounds and total the scores, with the highest overall score declared the winner.
