Mariáš (Czech Trick-Taking Card Game)

Deal cards to each of the three players, keeping a small hidden 'talon' aside.

Players bid on how many points they think they can score, with the highest bidder becoming the 'player' who takes the talon and chooses trump.

The remaining two players work together informally to try to prevent the bidder from reaching their target.

Play tricks following the suit led when possible, with trump cards beating any non-trump card played.

Score points for capturing high cards in tricks and for announcing certain pairs of king and queen in the same suit ('marriage').

Compare the bidder's final score to their original bid to determine whether they succeeded.
