HOW TO PLAY
1

Deal all cards evenly among four players seated as two facing partnerships.

2

Bid around the table with each player naming how many tricks their partnership expects to win; the highest bid sets the trump suit.

3

Play tricks by following the suit that was led whenever possible, with trump cards beating any non-trump card.

4

Track how many tricks each partnership wins during the hand.

5

The bidding partnership scores if they meet or beat their bid, otherwise they lose points, while the other side scores for tricks they collected; play multiple hands to an agreed target score.
