The cost of cards in each bribe is added, bringing the player points, which are recorded at the end of each round. Every game the first player won the auction, then the course can go to another player if he will beat rivals card and will take a bribe. Each turn players spread on one card, the first player puts the card, take a right turn (at the beginning of this Kohn — won the auction, then — any player who takes a bribe). Laid on the map, players take turns putting your card in a clockwise direction. Laid on the map, you can only put the card of the same suit, if such a suit of cards a player does not — he must put a trump, trump if a stake is not declared and the player has no cards of that suit (or no trump), then he has the right to put any card on its discretion. It is strictly forbidden to put another card suit, in the presence of cards of that suit or if there is trumps. Bribe, consisting of three cards (two when playing together), takes the player whose card was older, if she had not been slaughtered trump.
