Bidding.The idea of the bidding is to determine the contract of the game. These are the contracts:Trump color.In this variant, one of the colors is determined trump color, and the others are equal. The rank of the cards oftrump color is as follows (in descending order): J; 9; A; 10; K; Q; 8; 7. The cards of other colors are rankedas follows: A; 10; K; Q; J; 9; 8; 7.
A card from a trump color dominates any card from a non-trump color,despite rankings.No trumps.In a “No trumps” game there is no dominating color. The ranking of cards is: A; 10; K; Q; J; 9; 8; 7, regardlessof color.All trumps.In a game of “All trumps” all colors are trump colors, meaning the card ranking of each color is: J; 9; A; 10; K;Q; 8; 7. Again, there is no dominating color.Contract bidding: The player to the right of the dealer bids first. They can offer one of the contracts,meaning a color, “No trumps” or “All trumps” game.
If they cannot offer one of the contracts, they can announcea “pass”. The next player can offer either a higher contract or “pass”. The ranking of contracts is asfollows:When the last valid bid was made by an opponent, a player may bid “double”. This means that the player whoannounced it plans to win the game, playing on the contract an opponent offered. In this case, the result isdoubled.
The opponents may answer with a “redouble”. Then the result is quadrupled. In a game of “double” or“redouble” all of the points are given to the team who won the deal. The bidding ends when three playersconsecutively announce “pass” after a valid contract has been offered.Then each player is dealt another three cards.
If the bidding ends, without a valid contract (all players“pass”), then all of the cards are returned to the deck and the next player (to the right of the dealer)deals.3. Play.The player to the right of the dealer begins the game by playing a card. Every other player must play a cardfrom the same color. The hand is won by the player who played the highest card (or trump card). The player whowon the hand, collects the cards and begins the next round, by playing a card of their choice.Trump color game.Each player must play a card of the same color, as well as raise on trump color. If the player doesn’t have acard of the same color, and the highest card belongs to the opponents, they must play a trump card.
If theopponents played a trump card, then the player must put a trump card of a higher rank. If they don’t have such acard, they can play a random card instead.No trumps game.It is played like a trump game, but there is no trump color and the only mandatory rule is to respond to theplayed color.All trumps game.Unlike a “No trumps” game, all colors are trump colors, so playing cards of the same color is mandatory, as wellas raising (playing a card of a higher rank than the other played cards), regardless of which team has thehighest card.4.
