  • declarer
  • partner or opponent

Four players: with a secret partner

Everyone gets six cards. The declarer names a card: its suit becomes trumps, and whoever holds it is their secret partner. Nobody knows who that is until the card hits the table.

The rules in short

It is played with a 24-card Hungarian deck, without the sevens and eights. The cards are worth 120 points together:

  • Ace: 11 points
  • Ten: 10 points
  • King: 4 points
  • Queen: 3 points
  • Jack: 2 points
  • Nine: 0 points

You must follow suit and beat the card if you can. If you have none of the suit led, you play a trump. The trick goes to the highest trump, or failing that, the highest card of the suit led.

The first side to reach 66 points wins the deal. A King and Queen of the same suit are worth 20 together, or 40 in trumps.

The bold announce a Schnapser (66 before the opponents take a trick) or a Durch (every trick). The opponents may say contra, and the declarer re-contra.

On your first visit, a short tour shows you around the table. You will find the full rules and scoring on the game’s front page, under Rules and scoring.
