This is an addictive card game which I learned while weather-bound with some friends in Greenland in the summer of 1999. The game is best with four or more players. It is a betting game, so have a stack of pennies or matchsticks available for each player. Each hand is quick to play, and fortunes can change rapidly.
All players pay one token into the pot to be in the deal.
The next card is turned face-up. The other players now look at their hands, but the dealer does not look at his own cards. The dealer can accept the face-up card, or offer it to each player in turn. If a player accepts the card, that card is given to the player and the suit of that card becomes trumps. If no player takes the card, the dealer may look at his own cards and decide whether he wants to accept the card.
