The play: The person to the left of the dealer is the leader, and may lead any card. Each participant in turn must follow suit or play a card of the same denomination as the card led. Example: If the jack of diamons is led, each player in turn is required to play nay jack or any diamond. A player who is unable to so play is required to draw from the stack until he or she can. When the stack is exhausted and the player can't play, then he or she simply does not play the trick. As between cars of identical rank, the one played first outranks the other. The winner of each trick leads the next.

Scoring: The first player to get rid of all cards wins the game, and collects from each other player the face value of the cards remaining in that player's hands. Aces count one and face cards ten each. Other cards for their face value.
