Goal
Capture the tens with your partner.
How to play
Partners sit opposite; play anticlockwise. Follow suit if possible. The first off-suit card sets trump immediately. Capture more tens to win; if tens split two each, more tricks wins. Each deal scores one point. First to the target wins.
Scoring
Scores are points, never money.
