GAMEPLAY

Having selected the dealer, each player is dealt 16 cards. Four cards are covered as a must for the player who is the player on the left of the dealer. On the basis of the first six cards dealt the player selects the type of game (trump, no trump, minimum tricks). In this moment the card exchange is also possible. The player uncovers the must cards, puts four redundant cards on the table and starts the game, which is about colleting the definite number of tricks.

Players are obliged to follow the suit but they do not need to beat with a higher card. There is also no obligation to beat with a trump card in case of the lack of the cards of the suit unless the trump beat option is selected in the table settings.

Card seniority from Ace to Two.

TYPES OF GAMES

The game consists of 18 games, 6 for each player. Each player is supposed to play the following games in any sequence:

4 trump games of each ( , , , ),

In all games except MT (no tricks) the player must take minimum 8 tricks, the dealer 3, and the third player 5 (hence the name of the game 3-5-8). As a facility the number is always displayed at the player's nick. The current number of tricks taken by the player is also displayed.

Only in a game with no tricks, the number of tricks to be taken by players is contrary, i.e. the player can take no more than three.

SCORING

After each dealing the points for each game are scored. If a player has taken more tricks than he is obliged to, he scores positive points. If the desired level has not been achieved, he scores negative points. Both positive and negative points are equal to the number of tricks, by which the number of tricks taken is different from the number of tricks to be taken, i.e. if the player has taken 9 tricks, he scores one positive point; if only 7, one negative point.

It is otherwise in case of the game with no tricks (NT) only, where each trick more gives a negative point and each trick less - a positive point for the player.

The sum of points of all the players in the game is always 0.

CARD EXCHANGE

An extra punishment or reward in the game is exchanging cards. The player who scored positive points in the previous dealing, exchanges the cards of the player who scored negative points. If positive points were scored by two players, the first to exchange cards is the player who is supposed to take more tricks in the dealing. If negative points were scored by two players in the previous dealing, the one who scored positive points exchanges cards of the other two players. The number of the exchanged cards is always equal to the number of positive points. The player who has received the card to exchange is obliged to give the most senior one of the color; if he does not have a higher card, he must return the same one.

No trump cards can be exchanged.

Cards are not exchanged in case of games with no trump or no tricks.

GAME OVER

Having completed 18 games, the player who scored the highest number of points in recapitulation wins.
