Rules

Hands shrink every round — from the starting size down to a single card (optionally back up again) — while the trump suit cycles ♠ ♦ ♣ ♥. After looking at your cards, everyone bids, in turn from the dealer's left, exactly how many tricks they will take.

Play

The player left of the dealer leads. Follow the led suit if you can; otherwise play anything. The highest trump wins the trick, or the highest card of the led suit if no trump appears; the winner leads next.

Scoring

Land exactly on your bid and score 10 + bid. One trick over or under scores nothing. With "screw the dealer" on, the dealer's bid may not make the bids total the number of tricks — someone must always miss. Highest total after the last round wins.
