1. Number of players: Four people are divided into two groups. Partners can be chosen by themselves, or they can be determined by drawing cards. The partners sit opposite each other.
Objective: To win the number of tricks called by oneself.
2. Playing cards: A standard deck of 52 cards. A is the largest. Using the scorebook will be very convenient.
3. Dealing: Each player draws a card to determine who is dealt first. The person with the highest card is the dealer. Each player will receive 13 cards. The next player to deal cards rotates clockwise.
4. Bidding: Players must look at the cards in their hands and estimate the number of tricks that can be won. The estimated number of tricks between two partners is called the agreed trick. Each player must bid at least one trick. There are no cards passed in the game, nor is any suit designated as the trump card, as spades are always the trump card.
5. After one side agrees on the number of tricks, it doesn't matter who wins those tricks. When playing this game, it is best to keep track of the number of tricks each bid. Bids begin with the player to the left of the dealer and proceed clockwise.
6. Play: The player to the left of the dealer plays first, but the first card cannot be a spade (ace). Each player plays their cards clockwise. The card you play must be the same suit as the attacking card. If you can't follow, you can play any hand. The trump card only needs to be played when the attack card is the trump card.
