TIPS
- In the first round you can choose the trump suit by choosing the card from the center pile.
- If the current round passes without choosing the trump a second one follows.
- In the second round you must choose any suit of cards except the one you passed in the round before.
- If the trump is not chosen in these 2 rounds the cards are reshuffled and the game starts again without changing the dealer.
- Once a trump suit is chosen the game can start.
- If you choose a trump suit in the first round, the card in the center pile is passed to the dealer of the cards.
- If you are the dealer of the cards, your name is marked with an encircled D. If the trump is chosen in the first round you receive the trump card and must shed any card you wish.
- The player next to the dealer in a clock-wise direction is the first to choose a trump suit.
- If that player passes the chance, the next one after him follows.
- The game is played between two teams: a top-bottom team comprised of you and a computer player and a left-right team of computer players.
- The player and his partner are called the makers if one of them chooses a trump suit. Otherwise they are called the defenders.
- To win the makers must take at least 3 tricks. The defenders in order to win must take at least 3 tricks as well.
