This game is played by 4 people with a normal deck playing cards with all, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 removed, resulting in 32 cards. The players sitting opposite to each other are partners and so there are two teams competing. It is a trick taking game that is similar to Spades. The deck is never shuffled and is only cut before dealing. First, each person gets 3 cards, and then another 2 cards and the bidding begins. Each person can bid for a contract or pass the bid. The contracts from lowest to highest are clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades, no trumps, all trumps. If the previous person has bidded for a contract, then the next person must bid a higher contract or pass, if all the people passed after a person has made a bid, then that contract will be used for the game. If for example a clubs contract is used, then in that game the clubs is the trump suit. If all the players passed during the bidding then the cards are collected and then another dealing for another round begins. After your opponent has bidded for a contract, you can also choose to double the contract, and the final score for the game will be doubled, and then your opponent can choose to re-double, and the final score for the round will be multiplied by 4. After the bidding is over each player is dealt 2 more cards, and the round starts. The first player can play whatever card he likes, and the suit of that card is the suit of the current tirck, and the remaining players must follow suit if they can, if a player does not have cards of the same suit then he must play a trump, if he does not have any trumps then he can play any card. If the current trick contains trump cards, then you must play a higher ranked trump if you can. The requirement to play a trump is relaxed if your partner is the current trick winner. After all 4 players have played their cards, then trick winner is the player who played the highest ranked card which follows the trick suit, or the highest ranked trump. The ranks of non-trump cards are A
