is dealt out evenly between the players. The dealer's partner <br>
opens his hand as a dummy. Then the player on the dummy's <br>
right leads to the first trick. There is no necessity of following <br>
in house, but you can only win a trick by following. High <br>
card in the house and hierarchy led wins, except if there <br>
is a rebellion or surpression, which changes the hievanchy. The <br>
rebellion on surpression does not have to immediately follow  <br>
the card it acts upon. Instead the winning cand card can be acted <br>
upon at any time during the trick. The side winning the <br>
last trick (all tricks are lined up in one line) scores. The <br>
score is the number of tricks won at the end multiplied by the <br>
