teen chips are placed in the middle of the table.
When the cards are dealt each player takes up his
hand and when the play commences instead of
playing out in the middle of the table, each places
his card in front of himself and on seeing who
wins the trick he turns it over, face down to his
right and thus continues to play and place his
cards until the thirteen are played. The tricks
are recorded by the winner drawing a chip from
the middle of the table. The first hand being
played, each one places the hand which he has
just played in the box to his left, face upwards.
This is done with each hand until the twelve
decks are dealt, the deal going around the table
the same as in ordinary whist. After the twelve
hands have been played each player then passes
his box which contains the hands which he has
just played to the player on his right, thus the op
ponents gets the hands which their adversaries had
before, and these hands are played until the whole
twelve are played. The number of points are
then summed up for the whole series of hands.
The game is a very fascinating one, as it brings in
more directly the real contest of skill in the man
agement of hands, and it does away entirely with
the idea of one being a Jonah for an evening.
