Its a bit like poor mans bridge where you have estimate the number or tricks you can win, cards are dealt to any number of people (usually 4,5 or 6) starting with the full pack, then each round reduce the number of cards in each hand by 1. When you get get to 1 card each you go back up to full pack where you started. Trumps are always H-C-D-S-NT, when you estimate correctly your score is number tricks plus 10, if you fail you only score the number of tricks made. winner is the one with highest score.
You may know it by another name, it sounds complicated when I try and explain, but its not, we play each Sunday but only for pennies.
Is that another insight to my character?
