Rules

Goal of the play

Divided into two teams of two, the players are placed in an alternate way; the gaining team is the team arriving the first at 1000,1500 or 2000 points according to the alternatives. One says first team which reaches this number of points that it leaves . The points are allotted by advertisements or the points of the charts of the folds obtained. As soon as a fold is turned over, its points are acquired.

Value of the charts

In each color, the charts are ordered in the following way (weaker with strongest): six, seven, the eight, nine, ten, the servant, the lady, the king and the ace.

In a fold, the six, seven, eights and nine are worth 0 points, the ten 10 points, servant 2 points, lady 3 points, king 4 points and ace 11 points.

The indicated color asset at the beginning of one gives has particular values; classified weaker with strongest, scheduling is the following: six, seven, the eight, ten, the lady, the king, the ace, nine (the nell ) and finally the servant (the bauer , ( buur in dialect, marked bour ) - the peasant).

Their value many points is then: the six, seven and eights are not worth anything, the nell 14 points, the ten 10 point, the buur 20 points, lady 3 points, king 4 points and ace 11 points. The total of points of one gives is of 157 points (are included the 5 points given to the team which collects the last fold, known as " five of der").

The advertisements, except for the stöck, are made by each player when it poses his first chart of one gives and before the following player posed his. Only the team which makes the advertisement the highest mark the whole of her advertisements, the other team does not mark anything. The stöck is subject to a particular rule.

The possible advertisements are the following ones:

three charts consecutive of the same color, one announces Three charts! and the value is 20 points
four charts consecutive of the same color, one announces Fifty! and the value is 50 points
five, or more, consecutive charts of the same color, Hundred is announced! and the value is 100 points
four charts identical, of ten, ladies, kings or of ace, one announces Hundred! and the value is 100 points
the four new ones, one announces A hundred and fifty! and the value is of 150 points
the four servants, one announces Two hundreds! and the value is of 200 points
the king and the lady of asset, one announces stöck! (to pronounce " chteukr") at the moment when the second of the two charts is posed, and the value is of 20 points.

A player can have several advertisements, but a given chart cannot form part that of only one advertisement, except in the case of the stöck. When it poses its chart, it announces only the highest advertisement, without specifying the details of this one.

In the event of equality between the advertisements, it is the advertisement with the most charts which precedes, followed that with the high cards (the buur and the nell of asset cash like another color, and thus correspond to a servant or nine normal), followed that in asset. In the event of equality, the team of the player having announced the highest advertisement in first notes her advertisements.

The team which carries the advertisements must show the charts of the advertisements to the whole of the players.

The stöck

When a player has the king and the lady of asset, it is said that it has the stöck . It is about a particular advertisement:

the stöck is worth 20 points;
the stöck is announced and noted when the two charts are discovered:

either when it belongs to an advertisement of the team marking the advertisements,
or when the second chart is posed, before the fold or turned over. Announced at another time, the stöck is not valid and cannot be noted any more.

when a team can leave with the points the stöck (it remains to them less than 20 points to be realized), it can be announced at the end of the turn of advertisements even if the two charts are not yet discovered; it then takes precedence over the others advertisements. This rule is also called rule of the " stöck-announce-plies" , of the order in which the points are entered.

Rules of the chibre

The match

When a team has all the charts at the end of the play, it is said that it made match and obtains 100 additional points.

Course of a part

Distribution of the charts

The donor beats the charts, and makes cut the package to the player located immediately on his left; this one at least separates the package in two heaps from three charts, the heap coming from the upper part must be placed close to the donor. The cutter can strike the heap of charts without making packages to indicate that it gives up crossing. If there are two heaps, the donor then poses the package coming from the lower part of the package on the second package. It then gives the charts in the opposite direction of the needles of a watch three by three or four by four, while starting with the person located on her line.

Choice of the asset

At the time of the first gives, it is the player having the seven of square which can choose the asset, for the others give, it is the player immediately on the right donor which has this privilege. In all the cases, the person who makes asset can pass this right to her partner, provided that this one did not already make in the same way, it announces then chibre with her partner who chooses the asset then. If a player makes asset without have received this privilege of his partner, it is said that it makes asset in first , if not it is said that it makes asset as a second .

First fold

Whatever the player having made asset, it is, at the time of the first gives, the player having the seven of square which poses the chart of its choice on the carpet. In give following, it is the person immediately on the right donor which plays in first. Of a person who plays in first in a fold one says that it to the hand .

Unfolding of a fold

The player who with the hand plays a first chart, with his suitability. The player on his line poses a chart then, and so on until each player posed a chart. There are however certain numbers of restrictions on the charts which can be posed.

a player must pose is a chart of the same color as that of the player who with the hand. If it does not have a chart of the same color - it is said that it cannot follow -, it can buckle an unspecified chart. That it can or not follow , it can also, if the conditions are met, cut , i.e. to pose an asset.
a player can cross, i.e. to pose a chart of the color asset whereas the player who had the hand had started from another color, constantly. Nevertheless, if a player already crossed, it is not authorized under-to cut , i.e. to pose an asset of lower value, except if it has nothing any more but assets.
a player who has the bour , or servant of asset, is not obliged to play it, even if the basic color of the fold is that of asset and that it is the only chart of this color which remains in its hand.

End of a fold

The player who posed either the asset more raised, or, if no asset belongs to the fold, the highest chart of the color posed by the player which goes the hand, gain the fold for his team. It collects it; the points which constitute it are allotted immediately to the team (they nevertheless, for practical reasons, are noted at the end of gives). The player having gained the fold takes the hand and poses the first chart of the following fold.

End of a turn

When the players do not have any more charts, the turn is completed. The team gaining the last fold obtains 5 additional points ( Five of DER ). The player located on the right of the current donor, becomes the new donor for the following turn.

End of part

The part is completed as soon as a team reached 1000 items (1500 in the case or the players one selected to double the points marked when the asset is spade. One speaks then about part into spade-double), even in the course of road. One says of the team that it is left . If a player announces incorrectly that its team reached or exceeded the 1000 points, the opposing team gains the part.

It may be that the two teams reach at the same time the 1000 points. The choice of the winner is done by the priorities stöck-announce-fold . The team which announces the stöck gains the part. If there is no stöck , that which announced the highest advertisement at the beginning of the play gains. If, once again there is equality, the number of folds gained during the last play is taken.

A team which did not make half of the points when its adversaries leave is described as rubicon . To exceed this half of the points is qualified to cross Rubicon .
