About the Game

This game is played with a joker and 6-Ace in four suits from a standard deck of cards. Each of the three players is dealt 12 cards and bids by discarding three cards simultaneously. The suit of those cards show how many points they bid, and the highest bidder has to take card-points in tricks as close as possible to his bid. 2-player game uses 32 card deck with no trump suit-- but if you can't follow you can play any card and higher rank wins. If equal, first led wins if J-A or else second.
