Haggis

In a trick-taking game you want to get rid of all cards first, score for this and at the same time collect point cards in your trick and score for filled bids. There are cards of values 2 to 10 in five colors, and 1 Jack, Queen and King each as Wild Cards for each player. 14 cards are dealt to each player, the rest is set aside as secret Haggis. Now you can place bids that you will be the first to go out = be out of cards. You lead with a combination of cards – groups or sequences of cards. In turn players can answer this with the same combination of higher value and thus take the trick or pass. Bombs can only be tricked with bombs of higher value. Values of bombs are in ascending order: 3-4-5-9 with each card in another color without joker, B-D, B-K, D-K, J-Q-K, 3-5-7-9 in one color without a joker. Jack, Queen and King are jokers or picture cards in groups and series. If only one player is left with cards the one who went out first receives those cards and the Haggis. Then remaining cards, tricks and bids are scored. If you are the first to reach or top the pre-set score you win.
