Each player decides how much to bid, with a minimum bid of 2. No player can pass, and hearts are always trump. The total sum of all four bids must be at least 11, otherwise the cards are dealt again. If a player's score falls within the range of 30-39, their minimum bid becomes 3, and if it's between 40-49, the minimum bid becomes 4. The total number of bids must equal 13 in this case.

Each hand consists of 13 tricks per player. Once the first card is played, players must follow suit, if possible. The trick is won by the player who plays the highest trump or, if no trump was played, by the player who played the highest card in the led suit. The winner of the trick leads the next one, and this continues until all cards are played.

Points are awarded based on the number of tricks won. If a player fails to win the number of tricks they bid, they will lose that amount of points. Bidding for a higher number of tricks results in a higher value of points. For example, bidding 2-4 tricks awards 1 point per trick, while bidding 5-8 tricks doubles the number of points per trick. Bidding 9-10 tricks triples the points per trick, and biddingtricks earns 4 times the number of points per trick. If a player wins all 13 tricks, they either win big or lose 52 points.
