Rules of the game. This card game popular in southern Finland. Translated from Finnish into Russian literally means "bidding bag". It is believed that this game came up with one of the students of the University of Helsinki. Play the game 4 players on the vapor steam. Partners are located at the table across from each other so that the left and right sides of each partner were his rivals. The first deliverer is determined by lot, in the following games players are dealt cards by turns clockwise. The deck is thoroughly shuffled and each player is dealt 9 cards one at a time. If any of the players has 3 sixes, that player may require repeating cards (cards will redealt). After that, start trading, where each player, starting with the player to the left of the deliverer, making rate of the number of points that he will be able to dial. If a player believes that he can not get a certain number of points, then it passes, that is, trade passes. All bets must be multiples of five. He made the first bid must be at least 50-points. Each subsequent bid must be higher than the previous. Trade ends when 3 players fold. The player who made the final bid becomes the playmaker. The maximum bet that can be made public, it is 440 points. After that, the player chooses a partner point guard 3 cards and passes them face down point guard. Declarer takes these cards and can set a new bet in the game, which should also be a multiple of 5 and. Then declarer chooses her any 3 cards and gives them face down to his partner. Next is the card drawing. The first move of the game belongs to the point guard. Declarer can go with any of your card, each additional player in a clockwise direction to put the card of the same suit, such a suit if the card is not present, can put any card. The player who put the highest card in the suit of the first turn, takes all cards melded (bribe) and assigns the trump suit for the game.

There are 3 ways to declare the trump cards:

1. If the player has a queen and king of the same suit, the player can declare the suit trump cards of these;
2. The player can ask your partner whether the queen and king of the same suit, if he has, he can declare the suit trump cards of these;
3. If the player has only a queen or king of any suit, he can ask your partner whether in fact the second half for the drawing up of a combination of ladies and the king of the same suit, and if the partners can create their own maps of the lady and the king one suits, this suit can be declared as a trump.

It is worth noting that to declare the trump suit can only be of the cards that are in the hands of the players, and that still participate in the game did not take.
After the player has to announce or not to announce the trump suit, he makes his first move in the draw following a bribe, he can go with any of your card, and every next player in a clockwise direction to put the card of the same suit, if the card is a suit there, I must put a trump card. The player who put the highest card, takes a bribe, may announce a new trump suit, and makes the first move in the draw following a bribe. Thus, all the cards are played, after which the points are calculated for the card. The cost of card with glasses aces and tens are worth 10 points; kings, queens, and jacks are worth 5 points each; 9, 8, 7, 6 points are not. The win last trick gives partners an additional 20 points. For the declaration of a new trump suit and accordingly the combination of cards queen-king, players are also awarded extra points:

for the lady and the king at the peaks - 40 points;
for the lady and the king in the clubs - 60 points;
King of Spades and tambourines - 80 points;
for the lady and the king in Cervia - 100 points.

If the guard and his partner are gaining more points than the declared point guard, only the points scored announced by declarer. If the guard and his partner scored fewer points than the declared point guard, they have deducted points announced by declarer. If declarer with a partner does not have pip cards and the amount of points in bribes equal to zero, they have deducted points declared rate point guard for this game. Partners who first rack up 500 points or more is the winner. If both partners at the same time the team will gain more than five hundred points, win those who pick up the most points. If both partners equally on the team rack up 500 points or evenly over five hundred points is declared a draw and the winner played only one game.
