- Cards and deal
- Deal 12 cards each from a 52-card pack ranking AKQJT98765432 in each suit and stack the remainder face down as a stock. At the end of each played trick you each draw two cards from the top of the stock so long as any remain.
- Object
- To win cards with a high total face value in the play of 13 four-card tricks.
- Play
- Each trick consists of four cards, one of each suit. Non-dealer leads to the first trick and the
winner of each subsequent trick leads to the next. Any card may be led.
- Can't play?
- If you can't legally play a card because you have none of the required suit left you can ask your opponent to give you one of that suit from their own hand. They must comply, and you must give them in return a card from whichever other suit they ask for.
- Score
- The score for a won trick is the value of the fourth and last card played to it. The trick-winner keeps that card as a score-card and throws the others aside. At the end of the deal both players total the value of their score-cards and carry that score forwards.
- Game
- The overall winner is the player with the higher score at the end of the game when either or both have accumulated 100 points.
