3The bid winner chooses trumps and leads the first card.
4Try to make your bid (or to defeat your opponent). After the four rounds the highest score wins.

Rules

You must follow suit if you have it; if you can beat the highest card on the table, you must.
If you have no card of the suit you must play a trump; if there's a trump on the table and you can beat it, you must play a higher trump.
You can't lead with a trump until trumps have been broken (unless you hold only trumps).
If the bid winner takes at least as many tricks as the bid, they score the number of tricks taken; if they fail, they lose points equal to the bid (they go down).
The other players score the number of tricks they take.

Strategy tips

Bid by counting your aces and your long suit; make your trump suit the one you're long in.

If you're playing against the bid winner, focus on cutting their tricks.

If you play last, take the trick with the smallest winning card.
