Rules of the game. The rules of this card game are provided by Cathy Artigues. This game was played at the University of California in Santa Barbara from 1980 to 1985. The name of the game comes from the chemical element of the periodic table - lead. They play from three or more players, it is better to play the four of them. The first deliverer in the game is determined by lot, in the following games the players dealt cards in turn clockwise. The deck is carefully packed and the cards are evenly distributed among all the players. All players look at their cards and the player who sits to the left of the handler announces the number of bribes that he can take. The next player clockwise should announce either taking more bribes or skipping the ad. If a player misses an ad, then he can not take part in further announcements of bribes. The announcements continue until there is no one player with the highest number of bribes announced, which he undertakes to take. This stage of the game is usually called trading. The player who wins the trade, announces the trump card and declares a card that he does not have in his hands, the holder of this card becomes a partner in the game, all other players play alone. The first move in the game belongs to the winner of the trade, he can go from his any card, every next player clockwise, must put a card of the same suit, if the player does not have a card of that color, then the player must go with any of his cards. The player who places the highest card in the suit of the first turn card, or who will put the single trump card or who will put the senior trump if the trumps are several, picks up the scrapped cards (bribe). The winner of a bribe begins with its first move the rally of the next bribe. Thus, players play all the cards. If the partners (players of one team) consider the number of bribes taken for themselves, and if the player who won the trade does not gain that amount of bribes that he announced, the amount of bribes announced by him is deducted from his points, if the player has typed this amount, then to His points are added this amount of bribes, and other players receive one point for each taken bribe. The first player, who will score the set number of points for a few games played, becomes the winner.
Note. The rules of this game are translated from English, and it was unclear how the partners considered taking bribes, as a whole or as each for themselves. If players counted the points as a whole, then the question arises as to how these points would be distributed in the next games, where the players already played not as partners, so the points would have to be counted separately, so the partners most likely consider the points separately.
