The same rules apply as if the picker called an Ace. The person directly to the dealer's left leads , that is, plays the first card. The other players must follow suit in a clockwise manner. The player who wins the trick always leads the next trick. Following Suit A very important rule to remember is that you must always follow suit .
Trump is a suit.
Only trump cards can beat the suit that is led. A nine of hearts will not beat a 7 of clubs if clubs was led. Only a higher club or a trump will take the trick away from the 7 of clubs. If a spade is led, you must play a spade if you have it, and so must everyone else. If you don't have a spade, then you can trump the trick or play any card in your hand, but no other card but a trump will win.
