GAME RULES
The game goes to 350 - DOUBLE GAME ELIMINATION.
The highest card flipped over determines the first dealer. The first-hand bids itself. Dealer must offer the player to his/her right, the opportunity to cut the cards after they are shuffled and before they are dealt. After the first hand is played, the non-dealing team must bid first.
If a team fails to win at least 4 books the first hand, they automatically lose the game.
The minimum bid per team is 4.
A misdeal can be called for one of the following reasons:
Player was not dealt exactly 13 cards
Player does not have any spades and does not have any face cards***
Table Talk or providing hints to a partner is strictly prohibited***
A player cannot lead with a spade until spades have been broken.The highest card is the Big Joker, then the Little Joker, Deuce of Spades, Ace of Spades, etc. The deuce of diamonds and the deuce of hearts are to be removed from the deck before the game begins.
Once a card is played, it cannot be picked up. “A Card Laid is A Card Played.”
Scoring:1 book = 10 pts
Reneging = Subtract 3 books from the total books won.
If the number of books remaining is less than the number of books bidded, the team is set and must score accordingly. “Bags” are not to be included in the scoring. This is a “No Overs” game.
Last but not least, HAVE FUN!
