Description

Each round starts with both players being dealt 13 cards and one card from the deck being upturned and declared the trump suit for that round – but be careful – playing a 3 enables you to change that suit, so keep an eye on what your opponent is up to! The object of the game is to win a certain number of tricks – winning 0-3 or 7-9 out of 13 total tricks will score you maximum points, with varying points for winning 4, 5, and 6 tricks, giving them game an interesting strategy twist. However, you mustn’t get too greedy, winning 10 or more tricks will score you no points at all, handing the other player all 6 points.

The winner is the first person to 21 points, though if you are short on time, a 16-point target works equally well.

The choice, then, is this: are you playing to win, or playing to lose? No matter which you choose – can you perfect your strategy?
