- A 32-card deck (seven through ace in each suit)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Deal ten cards to each active player, with two extra cards set aside as a hidden 'widow.'
2
Players bid in turn on the minimum number of tricks they can win if they choose the trump suit, with the highest bidder taking the widow into their hand.
3
The winning bidder discards down to their original hand size and names the trump suit for the round.
4
Play out all tricks following suit when possible, with trump cards beating other suits.
5
Compare the bidder's tricks won against their bid; falling short results in a penalty, while meeting or exceeding it scores points.
