BASIC RULES
The game is for 2 players using a pack of 32 cards in which cards 2-6 have been
removed. Game is won by the player whose
score first reaches or passes a total of 501. 6 cards are dealt.
The remaining cards form the stock, the top card of which is
turned up to establish the proposed trump. Once a trump is chosen, the dealer
gives three cards more to each and turns the
pack, upside down,so that the last card can be seen. Then players can
declare combinations. Then they try to win as much points for the cards
they have taken in tricks as possible.
Card seniority during the play of the hand: ace, 10, king, queen, jack, 9, 8, 7
in simple suit: jack, 9, ace, 10, king, queen, 8, 7 in trump suit.
The leader's opponent must follow
suit if able and in case a trump is led must win the trick if
able. If player cannot follow suit, then he must trump, having
none of a trump-card too, he can play as he pleases.
The king and the queen of trumps are 'Bella'. Player can
score 20 points for the 'Bella' regardless of any other sequences.

king or the queen of this 'Bella'.
HOW TO BID ( ACCEPT A SUIT AS TRUMP FOR THE HAND )
After each player was dealt 6 cards, the top card of the
stock must be turned over to establish proposed trump suit -
'first trump'. The non-dealer can either agree to this trump or
say 'I pass'. If he declines the 'first trump', dealer deside -
to accept or decline the turn-up suit as trump. If both players
refuse to accept 'first trump', they can choose in the same order any
other trump suit or say 'I pass'. If both players decline any trump suit,
there is a fresh deal by the original
non-dealer. The deal alternates between players untill they
choose a trump.
'The bidder' has to score more points in the game,then his
opponent,otherwise his points are counted to his opponent.When
'the bidder lose the hand', the cause is often careless choice
of trump.
