A trick taking game with a bidding element, as well as three other well-known card games
This is a straightforward trick-taking card game with a twist – cards are in five suits ranging from 0-9, with duplicates of 1s and 7s. Players display cards to bid and can bid even after passing.
When all bidders pass, the highest bidder (most cards displayed) is the head of the offensive partnership and the second-highest bidder (next most cards displayed, with ties broken by highest ranking card played) is the head of the defensive partnership. The second-highest bidder chooses the undertrump, either a suit or a number.
Then, the leader of the offense selects the overtrump. Then he selects a partner from the three players who were not the top two bidders. After all the cards are played and all the tricks taken, players score their tricks by counting the small triangles on them (0, 1, or 2). Small numbers have the most triangles; large numbers the fewest.
Box contains:
