ABSTRACT:
A card game and a method of playing same which is akin to bridge in the sense of following suit and the use of trump cards but entirely different in the rules and procedures. Suitable for two to four players, a regular deck of 52 cards is utilized. Initially each player is dealt fifteen cards (except with four players, each is dealt thirteen cards). Each succeeding hand is played with one less card than the previous hand being dealt to each player. Until the number of hands reaches the point where seven cards are being dealt. The trump suit (including no trump) is determined by a preset designation for each hand which appears on the game sheet and score card. At the seven card level a series of four hands are played wherein the trump suit is determined by the roll of a special die and the play governed by special rules as outlined hereinafter. Thereafter the regular procedure of decreasing by one each hand the number of cards dealt is followed until the last hand where each layer receives only one card each. Special bids are used for each hand as described herein and points awarded for making the specific bid in terms of numbers of tricks taken as well as points for each trick taken. The player with the highest score at the end is the winner.
