Mendicot (Indian Partnership Card Game)

Shuffle the two combined decks together and deal all the cards out evenly among the four players.

Partners sit across from each other so teammates alternate turns around the table.

Players must follow the suit that was led if they can, with the highest card of that suit winning the trick.

Winning a trick that contains one of the special ten-value cards earns bonus points for that team.

Capturing both matching copies of the highest-value ten in the same trick earns an especially large bonus.

After all cards are played, the team with the higher combined trick and bonus score wins the round.
