Ohh, kinda hard to explain, but here's the idea. Four people usually play - two teams. You bid on your hand delt to you. You get points for the following: High (ace) = 1pt Low (2) = 1pt Jack = 1pt Game (add up all the 10's and face cards-Jack is one point toward game, Queen is two and so on). The highest amount = 1pt 9 = 9 points (if you play this version) 5 = 5 points (if you play the 9's 5's version) So, you are delt your cards and you bid 1-18 possible points - the winner of the bid starts - everyone follows suit of trump (the suit the bid winner bid in). SO typically they start with the ace so their partner can throw point cards on the pile & draw point cards out of the opponent. It's really fun, and I am sure I confused the heck out of you. Lemme see if I can find directions online that are more clear.
