Game Rules

At the beginning of the game, the players are dealt 7 cards each, the remaining 3 cards, the buy-in, are placed on the table.

The players take turns calling the amount of points they expect to score in a given round, starting with the player next to the dealer. The player who starts the auction automatically announces 100 points. The player who named the highest number gets a buy-in.

The player who received the buy starts the game - puts the first card on the table. The rest of the players must, in turn, lay down one card of the same suit. If a player does not have a card of the same suit, he has the right to put a card of the trump suit if the trump is declared. If the trump card is not declared or the player has no trump cards, he can discard any card. The player who puts the highest card of the initial suit or the highest trump card on the table takes the table, adding the value of the cards on the table to his round score in the current round.

The player who picks up the table begins the next round by placing a card on the table first. The game continues until the players run out of cards. After the cards are over, the scoring begins. If the player who won the buy has not collected the amount that he announced at the auction - the amount announced at the auction is deducted from his total account. If he scored, the sum of the points scored in this bet is added. The rest of the players receive as many points as they have earned in the current round. If the player has not earned a single point per round, he receives a bolt. Having collected the specified number of bolts, the player receives a penalty of 120 points.

The game continues until one of the players scores 880 points. After the player scores 880 points, he sits on the barrel. Sitting on the barrel, the player stops gaining points without winning the bid. In order for the player sitting on the barrel to win the game, he must win the auction and collect the required number of points - 120 or more. If the player, being on the barrel, does not collect the required number of points, he rolls off the barrel. A penalty may be provided for a certain number of rolls off the barrel. If another player climbs onto the "barrel", then the one sitting on the barrel is rolls off it with a penalty of 120 points. If several players hit the barrel at the same time, then they all roll off with a penalty of 120 points.
