The Cards

There are 5 suits with 12 cards each: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9.

The number of triangles on each card shows how many points it is worth when you win the card in a trick (0, 1 or 2).

Tricks

Cards that are trump (as nominated by the Chief and Vice) form a single trump suit, with the Chief's trump higher than the Vice's trump. Cards that belong to both the Chief's and Vice's trump are the highest cards in the trump suit (the double trumps).

For example, the Vice nominates red cards as trump and the Chief nominates 7s. The trump suit will be the red 7s as the highest cards (double trumps), followed by the 7s in other colors (they no longer belong to the suits of their respective colors), followed by the remaining red cards from highest to lowest.

  • After the first card is played in a trick you must play a card of the same suit if you can (follow suit).
  • If a trump card is the first card played you must play any trump card if you can.
  • The highest card of the color led wins the trick, unless a trump card was played - in which case the highest trump card wins.
  • If multiple cards of the same rank are played the first equal card wins

Scoring

First, each player scores the points on the tricks that they won individually.

The chief's team then add their scores together and compare it to the bid to calculate the team bonus.

If the chief's team made their bid, they get bonus points as shown on the table (based on how many cards were in trump).

If the chief's team failed their bid, the points are:

  • The chief loses -10 points for the number of cards overbid
  • The chief's partner does not gain or lose any bonus points
  • Everyone not on the chief's team gains 5 points for the number of cards overbid
