Rules

• A standard 52 card deck is used.
• Each player is dealt 13 cards. The next card turned face up becomes the first prize card and its suit determines trump for the entire game.
• The game is played in two rounds of 13 tricks.
• One player leads a trick by playing a card. The other player follows. You must follow suit if you can. If you cannot, you may play any card. The highest card of the suit led wins the trick, unless a trump is played, in which case the highest trump wins.
• The winner of a trick leads the next trick.
• Round 1 - Drafting
  The winner of each trick takes the face up prize card. The loser draws the next card from the stock. A new prize card is then revealed.
• Round 2 - Scoring
  After the stock is empty, players play the remaining tricks using the hands they have built.
• The First deal setting decides who is the dealer in the first game. The dealer alternates in subsequent games. The non-dealer leads the first trick.
• At the end of the game, you score 1 point for every trick won above six.

Tips

• In Round 1 you are not just trying to win tricks. You are building a strong hand for Round 2.
• Sometimes it is better to lose a trick if you think the stock card will be better than the prize card.
• When it is your turn your name will glow and legal cards will rise slightly from your hand.
• If you cannot win a trick you should play your worst legal card.
• Keep track of trump and high cards that have already been played.
