MATERIALS
- A standard 52-card deck plus one or two jokers
- Paper and pencil for scoring
HOW TO PLAY
1
Deal six cards to each player from the deck, which includes the jokers and an off-suit jack alongside the standard cards.
2
Players bid a number of points they believe they can win, or pass, with the highest bidder naming the trump suit.
3
The joker and the jack of the same color as the trump suit act as extra trump cards ranking above the regular trump jack.
4
Players follow suit if possible as tricks are played, trying to capture the highest trump, lowest trump, and highest-value cards.
5
Points are awarded for the high trump, low trump, both jacks, and total card value won, and the bidding team must meet their bid or lose the equivalent points.
