The cards are shuffled and each player is dealt 9 cards. The remaining cards are set aside. The non-dealer leads the first trick. There is no trump suit. There is no obligation to follow suit.
Kings are high, Aces are low.
The winner of a trick, is the person who plays the highest ranking card. In the case of a tie, the trick is set aside, and the winner of the next trick takes both tricks. If the last trick is a tie, whoever won the first trick wins it. Whoever wins the most tricks wins the hand. The cards are then gathered, re-shuffled, and the other player becomes the dealer.
