Rules of the game. Before the game it is necessary to mark one joker large, and another joker small. The game is played by four together two against two. Players sit at the table in such a way that the partners are sitting opposite each other, and on the left and right hand of each player, respectively, were his rivals. The first deliverer in the game is determined by a lot or at will, in the following games, players pass cards in turn clockwise. The deck is carefully packed and each player is dealt 13 cards each, the remaining 2 cards are placed in the center of the table in an open form: the suit of the high card becomes trump, and the suit of the younger card is called the adder . If both cards are of the same suit or if any of the cards is a joker, then the peaks become the trump suit, and the tambourine becomes the adder. Then each player passes his two unnecessary cards to the player on the left and accordingly receives two cards from the player to the right. The first move in the game belongs to the player to the left of the handler, he can go with any of his cards, and every next player clockwise must put a card of the same suit, the player can not put a card of such a color if it is available, then his team minus 4 points, The player puts his other card. If a player does not have a card of such a suit, he can put his any card without punishment. After each player puts on the card, then the player who puts the highest card is picked up the bribes (bribe), the same player has the right to play the next cards (bribe) first. Thus, players play all the cards, after which they count the points. Points are awarded to the players' teams as follows:

Minus 4 points - a bribe with all the trump cards;

Minus 1 point - a bribe with one or more trump cards, but not with all and without adders;

Plus 1 point - a bribe without a trump card and an adder;

Plus 1 point - a bribe with an adder, if the totalizer is more than one, then for each additional card of the adder is given one positive point.

A bribe that contains all the card adder is called a book.

Usually, before the game, players agree on the number of points to be scored for a win, this can be 30, 40 or 50 points. The team of players that first gets the set number of points or more, becomes the winner.

Note. This game can take place with a trade where players make the following bets:

Zero bet - players do not accept any bribes. If this is the case at the end of the game, then if the player's points are positive, the points scored are multiplied by 3, if the players have negative points, then they get one positive point. If the players took at least one bribe, then they get one negative point.

Blind bet - players partners announce that they will score more points than their opponents. If this is the case, then the points scored by the partners are doubled, if it is not, then they get 3 negative points.

A smart bet - if the partners believe that they can take 3 or more books. If this is the case, then the points scored are doubled, if it is not, the players' points become equal to 0.
