Partner = your partner is sitting opposite each other.
card = standard 52 card, rank from high to low: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.
How to win= (i) take valuable cards (ii) take trump card; will give you score
How to start = who cuts the highest card becomes the first dealer. Each player has six cards
Choose the trump suit before the game start = The dealer --- the next card is trump suit. If it is an ace (1 pt), six(2 pt) or jack (3 pt), you are lucky as your team gets extra point.
person on dealer's right --- if agree with the chosen trump,says "Stand" and play begins.
person on dealer's right --- if want another trump,says, "I beg". The dealer need to decided.
then has the option to change trumps or to keep the suit of the turned up card as trumps.
If the dealer --- insists with this as the trumps as turned up, says, "Take one"; the opponent team get 1 point and play begins.
If the dealer --- agrees to change, then deals three more cards to each player, and the next card is new trump suit.(A, 6, J will you get extra pt)
If new trump --- different from the first trump, play begins with this new suit as trumps. If new trump --- same as the fist trump, the dealer gives another three cards to each player, and the next card is new trump suit. (A, 6, J will you get extra pt) repeat until a new different trump is turned up.
Who start first = (first round)the person on dealer's right; (after game started) winner of that round
Rule of choosing a card = If a trump is led --- other must play a trump; if no trump, can play any card. If a non-trump suit is led, other must either follow that suit,or choose to play a trump (optional); if no that type of suit, can play any card (no obligation to play a trump in this case).
The trick is won by the highest trump card played to it; if no trumps are played it is won by the highest card of the suit led.
How many round = If the original trump suit was accepted there will be six tricks, but if a change of trump suit was begged for and allowed, the players will have larger hands and there will be 9 or 12 tricks.
