Play occurs without a trump suit, as in the first round, but the goal in this round is to not take tricks.
The fourth round is quite different from the other two. The third round is the same as the second round, except that the dealer picks the trump suit before dealing. Scoring is the same as in the first round. If no player plays a trump card, the trick goes to the highest card of the initial suit, as before. The player who played the card of the highest rank of the trump suit takes the trick. Play occurs as in the first round, but if a player does not have any cards of the same suit as the trick's initial card, they may play a card of the trump suit instead. Whatever suit the drawn card is is the trump suit. In the second round, the dealer blindly draws one of the four remaining cards. To score, each player counts the tricks they've taken the dealer scores a point for each trick they took over a count of eight, and the other players score a point for each trick taken above a count of four. The first round consists of 16 tricks, after which all the cards dealt will have been played. The player who took the previous trick then plays the initial card for the next trick. Cards are ranked "aces high", that is, 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A (in ascending order of rank). The player who played the highest-ranked card of the suit of the initial card takes the set of three cards (known as the trick). In the first round, the player to the left of the dealer plays any card from their hand, then the other players play a card from their hand. For each hand, the dealer shuffles the deck and deals each player 16 cards.

It aids in anticipating which cards will be winners and when. Part of the skill involved in the game is to pay close attention to the cards that have been played and reason out what cards remain. Win more tricks with your partner than your opponents. The game is played until one team gets five points. The side that won more tricks scores 1 point for each trick won in excess of six (e.g., if the trick count is 8 to 5, the winning team gets 2 points). Play continues until all 13 tricks are played at which point the score is recorded.
The highest card of the suit that was lead wins the trick, unless someone played a trump card - cards of the trump suit always beat cards of other suits. If no such card exists, the player may play any card to either discard or trump.
