House Rules

  1. Have fun; laughing allowed
  2. When dealing, if a card lands on the floor; on someone’s lap; or flips over, etc. an automatic re-deal is required
  3. Every deal results in a play, so the dealer must call if everyone passes second time around
  4. A card laid is a card played
  5. No table talk; No reneges (illegally played card)
  6. If you have a question during play, put up your hand and our team will provide an answer

For those who have not played in a while, here is a link to a refresher video (11 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-BmY6uhR6k

The only changes to the video rules are:

1) a renege will result in a 2 point award to the other team (instead of 4 points) and the deal moves on;

2) the dealer has to make trump if no one else makes trump on the second round (instead of a misdeal)
