==Bidding==
The dealer deals the cards so that the lowest number of cards remains undealt: for example with four players, five cards are dealt to each player and two cards are put aside.
To bid well, you must estimate whether a card will take a trick or not. A 18 or 20 is very likely to take one, while holding a 5 or 8 would make that nearly impossible. Bid 1 for each card larger than 17 is a good idea, but pay attention to the fool who can make your low cards take a trick or make a high card lose a trick!


The player to his left announces how many tricks he thinks he will win, then the player on his left, etc... This is the contract. The dealer is the last to announce, but the sum of announced tricks must not equal the number of cards dealt to each player.
==Fool==
The fool (or excuse) is a card that can be 0 or 22. When you bid, it is often a good idea not to count the fool as a trick. This is because if you fails to take a trick that you attempts to take, the fool can fix the mistake.


Let us follow the same example, where 5 cards were dealt to each player: player A announces 2 tricks, players B and C each announce 1 trick. Then the dealer cannot announce 2 tricks because the total would be 5 tricks and each player could fulfill his contract. The player to the left of the dealer starts. The winner of a trick is the one who will start the next trick. The owner of the fool must assign its value (0 or 22) when he plays it.
==Playing==
 
It is always a good thing to play last since you can see all the other cards played.
At the end of the round, each player counts the number of tricks he has won and compare it to the number of tricks he has announced. No point is awarded for fulfilling the contract, but 1 point is deducted for each missed trick, either over or under the number of tricks the player initially announced.
 
The next round takes place in the same way, but with one less card per player.
 
After several rounds where one less card is dealt in each round, there is a round where each player only receives one card. Each player then places the card on its forehead without looking at it, so that all players except him can see the card. Each player then announces if he will win the trick or not. As was the case in previous rounds, the sum of announced tricks cannot equal the number of cards dealt to each player (i.e. one).
 
After this round, in each round the number of cards dealt to each player is increased by one, until the number of cards is the same as in the first round.

Bidding

To bid well, you must estimate whether a card will take a trick or not. A 18 or 20 is very likely to take one, while holding a 5 or 8 would make that nearly impossible. Bid 1 for each card larger than 17 is a good idea, but pay attention to the fool who can make your low cards take a trick or make a high card lose a trick!

Fool

The fool (or excuse) is a card that can be 0 or 22. When you bid, it is often a good idea not to count the fool as a trick. This is because if you fails to take a trick that you attempts to take, the fool can fix the mistake.

Playing

It is always a good thing to play last since you can see all the other cards played.
