Tricky Bid

Bid cards or use them to trick?

If you take the trick, you receive a share of the bidding, and at the end you win with the highest total of bidding cards won. Cards are used for bidding and for tricking, so how do you use them? You are dealt 12 or 16 cards out of 80 cards showing values of 0 to 15 in 5 colors, the rest is stacked. The top card is turned up to determine trump suit. Before each trick you place one card open-faced on the table for a bid. Then the starting player leads a card, the others follow suit or use a trump card to trick or discard any card. You win the trick with the highest trump card or the highest card of the color led by the starting player. If you win it, you take back your bidding card and also every other bidding card of its color. All other bidding cards and the trick are set aside. Then you decide if trump should be changed. If you want a change, the next card from the stack is turned up to determine trump. Then the player to the left of the current starting player becomes the new starting player, places a bidding card and leads for the trick.

After the last trick has been played, all note the total value of the bidding cards they did win. After a number of rounds equal to the number of players the winner is the player with the highest total. The rules allow a game with five and six players, which a higher amount of chance.

After the first trick at the latest this game is a case for trained card memorizers and experiences card players. Once you get used to seeing a trick as a tool instead of the goal you will enjoy an interesting, fast game with a special appeal and a basically simple set of rules.
