Players compete to score the most points by declaring trump and winning key battles of cards.

Gameplay

You bid for the right to name trump, lay down scoring melds from your hand, then play cards to win rounds and capture point cards toward your contract. The pressure is judging your hand—bid too high and you crash, bid too low and you hand control to your opponents.
