Its a trick taking game with 4 players. Each player is dealt 5 cards (only A,K,Q,J,10 and 9 are used). The 4 remaining cards are not dealt, but the top card is used to determine suit. The players starting to the left of the dealer has the option to call that suit as trump or pass. If no player calls up that card as trump, the players have the option of choosing the trump suit or passing again. Whoever sets the trump suit(and their partner) have to make at least 3 tricks to score. If they fail they are set or UKED. The jack of the trump suit is the most powerful card in the deck, followed by the "cross-jack" Example: Trump is clubs, jack of spades is th2nd most powerful card. Then the A, K,Q,10, and 9.
