Generally, you count (estimate) the meld points in your hand, add that to the potential trick points you think you could pull and that is the maximum bid you should go to. There is a nice feature that the bid-winning team gets to pass 4 cards from supporting member to the bid-winner, then the bid winner passes four back. This can dramatically help develop power in your trump and additional meld points. ![]() Certainly, there is strategy but much in chance.īidding –A very important phase allowing each team the opportunity to wager on the Trump suit, gaining a significant advantage in getting more points in melds and trick play. Starting with the person to the left of the dealer, each player can Pass, Bid-or-Bunch, or Open (opening starts the bid at 25). If no player opens, then the cards are re-delt. If at least one player opens, the opposing team is allowed to counter by sequentially increasing the bid until one team gives in a Passes. The winner of the bid get the honor of choosing the Trump suit. Melding –Meld are points you acquire before the trick play begins. Meld and trick play points are added together. If that sum is greater than or equal to your bid, your team wins that hand and the points are added to your total. Same goes for the non-bid-winning team, albeit the numbers are generally much smaller. During the meld phase, all players lay down their melds for review and counting. Below are the meld combinations to look for during the bidding and melding phase. Trick Play – After all melds are displayed, counted, and picked up, the bid-winner leads the first card. Each team is fighting for the most tricks/point cards. point cards are K, 10, and Ace (1 point each).A trick consists of one round of each player playing a card, clockwise from the player that starts the trick. These are totaled at the end of trick play.
