HOW TO PLAY
1
Deal all cards evenly to four players seated as two partnerships across from each other.
2
Partners look at their hands and signal information about their strength through the pattern of cards they lead, without speaking directly about their hand.
3
The trump suit is determined by the final card dealt, and players must follow suit or play a trump when unable to follow.
4
Each trick is won by the highest trump played, or the highest card of the suit led if no trump appears.
5
Partnerships tally the tricks they have won together at the end of the hand, and the partnership reaching the target score across multiple hands wins the match.
