(If the Declarer has a marriage, they must still name trump, the opposing team lays down their meld, provided they have at least 20, and the meld is added to their score.)Ĭombinations that a player may meld and their point values are: If the Declarer’s team does not have 20 points in meld, the hand is not played and the Declaring team’s score is reduced by the amount of their final bid. Each player then places face up on the table any meld that they have provided that the team can meld at least 20 points.Īfter trump have been named players may tell their partners how many points in meld they have so they can determine if they have the required 20 points. If the Declarer does not have a marriage in their hand, the hand is not played and the Declarer’s team’s score is reduced by the amount of their final bid. The Declarer must have a marriage in the suit they name trump. When bidding is finished, the Declarer names a trump suit. All other rules concerning meld required and a marriage for trumps still apply. If after the deal, the first three players all pass, the dealer becomes the Declarer with an automatic bid of 50. If the highest previous bid was 52 and a player bids 55 that would indicate 20 points in meld since they skipped 53 and 54.) (For example, if a player makes the very first bid of 54 they have skipped 50, 51, 52 and 53 so they are indicating they have 40 points or more in meld. The partner can assume they have 10 points in meld for each one point the skip in bidding. The Declarer names a suit to be used as trump during the hand.Īny bid in the 50s that is not the lowest allowable bid at the time is considered a signal to the player’s partner that they do not wish to name trump but they have meld should the partner name trump. The bidding ends when all but one player has passed. Any bid above 59 must be a multiple of five. Bids only have to be increased by a minimum of one until the bidding reaches 60.
Once a player has passed, they may not bid again during that hand.
If a player bids they bust bid a higher amount than the highest previous bid. Each player may pass or bid at their turn. The deal proceeds clockwise.īeginning begins with the player left of the dealer and continuing clockwise around the table each player bids.
