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. |
Is there no 2 in the deck?
In UK (or at least where I live) we also include a 2 which is known as "the Benny" or the ultimate trump card whilst the Jack of the trump suit is "the Right" and the other coloured Jack is known as "the Left". We play different rules?
