This is a classic Russian card game.
The deck is thoroughly mixed, and each participant receives six cards. The bottom card from the remaining deck is flipped over and laid face up on the table — its suit determines the trump cards for the round. If, for instance, the card turned over is the Seven of diamonds, then all diamond cards become higher than cards of other suits. The rest of the deck is placed diagonally on top of this card, ensuring it remains visible. These cards make up the prikup or talon, with the turned-over card being the last one to be drawn from the talon. Discarded cards from successful defenses are placed in a separate pile beside the talon.
The player holding the lowest trump card starts the game by leading the first trick.
In this game, the Ace is the highest card in each suit, while the Six is the lowest. Any trump card, regardless of its rank, beats all cards of the other three suits — for example, a Six of trumps will beat an Ace of any other suit.
Cómo jugar
After each player is dealt six cards, the trump card is revealed. The participant with the lowest trump card starts the game.
You can play any card. It is allowed to play both single cards and sets, for example, two or three sixes.
Cards are beaten according to suit, with a higher card or a trump card. A trump card can only be beaten by a higher trump card.
If a player «beats» all the cards played, those cards are discarded. Both players then draw cards from the deck until they have six cards again.
The game ends when one player runs out of cards. The player who still has cards left is declared the «fool».
