king, See also:queen to six in each suit, the ace being highest both in See also:play and cutting. In trumps, however, the See also:knave ranks highest. Any number from two to eight may play. If an even number, partners are cut for; if See also:odd, each plays for himself. An odd number of players sit as they like; four players sit as at whist; six playing in two sides sit so that no two partners shall be next each other; six playing three sides sit so that two opponents shall See also:divide each pair; eight are arranged in alternate pairs. After cutting, the cards are dealt according to the number of players. The last card is turned up for the See also:trump. When five or seven play, the six of spades is usually omitted; when eight play, the four sixes are thrown out. The eldest See also:hand leads any card he chooses and all must follow suit if able, the See also:penalty for a revoke being the loss of the game. The tricks are not kept See also:separate but gathered in by one player for his See also:side. At the end of the See also:deal there are six hands of six cards on the table. The players first play out the first two hands, next the second two and finally the last two, the trump card remaining on the table until the first four hands are played out. The game is 41 points, the See also:object of the play being to win the cards which have a See also:special value. These are, with their values: knave of trumps r 1, ace of trumps 4, king of trumps 3, queen of trumps 2, ten of trumps ro. All other cards have no counting value.
