This challenging game offers customizable options for a personalized experience. Choose from 3 to 7 players, and tailor the rules to your preference: activate or deactivate "Screw the Dealer" and "Nil Bid Worth 5," select your trump suit (Alternate, Next Card, or No Trumps), and choose from four game variations (Up, Down, Up and Down, or Down and Up). Select your difficulty (easy, medium, or hard), and utilize replay and review features for strategic analysis. Further enhance your gameplay with customizable color themes and card decks.
The core gameplay revolves around standard trick-taking mechanics. Cards are beaten by a higher card of the same suit or any trump card. Players must follow suit; if unable, they may trump or throw away a non-trump card. Each trick earns one point, while accurately predicting trick wins during bidding yields 10 points (or 5 if bidding 0 and "Nil Bid Worth 5" is enabled). The player with the highest point total after a set number of rounds wins (multiple winners are possible).
