1. 1

   Objective

   • Win a trick to collect its cards and their points. Once all cards are played, the higher score wins; 60–60 is a draw.
2. 2

   Setup

   • Use 40 cards and deal three to each player. Turn one card face up to set the trump suit. The remaining cards form the stock. The opening player is chosen at random.
3. 3

   Playing a turn

   • Each player plays one card to form a trick. Any hand card is legal: you need not follow suit or play a trump.
   • The highest trump wins. If no trump is played, the highest card of the led suit wins. A card of another suit cannot beat the lead.
   • Ranks, highest first: 1 > 3 > 12 > 11 > 10 > 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 2.
   • The winner draws first, the other player draws next, and the winner leads again. Draw the face-up trump last. Once the stock is empty, play out the remaining hands.

   Scoring and ending

   • Card points: 1 = 11, 3 = 10, 12 = 4, 11 = 3, 10 = 2. All others = 0. Rank strength and point value are separate.
   • Settle after all 40 cards have been played. The higher total wins. 60 points each is a draw.
