HOW TO PLAY
1

Deal the deck evenly to four players seated as two facing partnerships.

2

Cards of certain fixed ranks, called point cards, are worth set values while others are worthless for scoring.

3

Players lead and follow suit around the table, with the highest card of the suit played winning each trick.

4

The team that wins a trick collects any point cards contained in it toward their running total.

5

Continue playing tricks until the entire hand of cards has been played out.

6

Add up each team's captured point-card values, and whichever partnership scores more wins the hand.
