Game description
A standard pack of cards is used. The game is ideally suitable for 3 to 5 players. Each player receives 5 cards. One card is turned over from the pile of remaining cards and is the trump colour. The player with the highest card starts and plays one card. Then it is the next player’s turn. With cards of the same colour, the highest value wins. Trump cards always win. If a player cannot trump or play a card with the same colour as the first player’s card, he throws any card in. The winning player in the round collects the cards (either the highest colour, or the highest trump).
The winner of the round is the first to take the top card from the pile in the middle, followed by the other players in turn. The next round is started off by the player who won the last round. The game is over when all of the cards have been played.
The following rules apply:
A player can swap the uncovered trump card for a 7 in the trump colour.
If an ace or a king is played in the same colour, the player receives 20 points. If the two cards are played in the trump colour, 40 points are awarded. The player must have already have won one round to be able to make a claim for the points. A new claim is not possible if the cards have the same colour as the last claim.
Judging
The winner is the player who made the most wins with the most points.
