Don't be lazy! If you have 4 players, a deck of cards, and a table then we strongly recommend playing with physical cards.

Community Tables are shown on the home page. Click on one of them to join the room. Once in the room you still need to pick a seat. Click on either Red, Blue, Purple, or Green. You will be asked to enter a nickname, you can select "No Thanks" for your name to be "Guest". Once seated at the table you can invite friends to join the table by clicking on the invite table button. Once your click the invite table button there will be a QR code that your friend can scan or 4 share buttons below for sharing via text, X, Facebook, or to just copy the link. Once all your friends (if you invited any) have sat at the table and entered their names you can press "start". From that point on just follow the text in the bottom left corner of the table.

Starting a Game with Physical Cards

For simplicity, Nine = 9, Ten = 10, Jack = J, Queen = Q, King = K, Ace = A

Take a standard deck of cards and only keep 9, 10, J, Q, K, A in each suit. Since their are 4 suits and your keeping the top 6 cards you should end up with 24. (6 x 4). You'll need to find 3 other people for a total of 4. One will be on your team, and the other two will be the other team. You will sit at a table where you and your partner are across from each other. This creates an alternating pattern. To keep score have 1 person grab a pencil and paper or use "Score Keeper". Pick someone to shuffle and deal the cards. This responsibility will rotate clockwise after each round so it doesn't matter much who starts. The dealer will deal 6 cards to each person. The person to the left of the dealer (clockwise) starts the bidding which means they "Have the Lead". They analyze their cards and determine how many "tricks" they think they could get if they can call trump. Trump usually is a suit (Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, Spades) but can also be "No Trump" meaning Aces are high card.
