Scotch Whist (Catch the Ten)

Deal the cards evenly among all players and designate a trump suit for the round.

Players take turns playing one card each to a trick, following the suit led if possible.

The highest card of the suit led wins the trick, unless a trump card is played, in which case the highest trump wins.

Capturing the ten of trumps in a trick you win earns bonus points, giving the game its nickname.

After all tricks are played, tally points for tricks won and any ten-of-trump bonuses; the highest total wins the hand.
