EXAMPLE OF PLAY:
TRUMP PLAYER A'S HAND PLAYER B'S HAND PLAYER C'S HAND
In round seven, Player C deals only four cards to each player. Players review their
cards to predict the number of tricks they hope to win. Player A announces that he
will win two tricks. Player B predicts two tricks. Finally, Player C claims to win one
trick. Player A, who is to the left of the dealer, leads.
Player A chooses to lead with a Blue 15. Player B does not
have any blue cards, so may play any card from his hand.
Player B chooses to play the Yellow 0 (the trump suit).
Currently, Player B is winning the trick with the trump
card. Player C plays a Blue 2 because he must foliow
suit of the leading card (the Blua 15). Tha trick is now
complete and Player B wins [Player B's yellow 0 may be a
low value card, but because itis a trump card it still beats
the other cards played). Since Player B won the trick, he
gets to lead (start) the next trick.
Player B leads this trick with a Green 10. Player C doesn't
have any Green cards and may play any card from his
hand. Player C plays the Change Rage card. Atwhich
point, Player C searches through the Trump Pile and
places a Red card on top of the Trump Pile as the new
trump suit. Player A has to follow with the Green 12
{matching the suit that lad}. Having the highest value card
of the suit that was led, Player A wins this trick.

same color that was led, yellow, and wins the final trick.
