Object
Take more tricks than the dealer to get a doubled score.
Rules
The players cards are sorted in suit and rank order during the deal. The dealer plays the first card when the cards are dealt. The player must match the suit of the card. The heighest rank card played determines who takes the trick and who plays first for the next trick. If the ranks are equal, and neither is a trump, the last card played takes the trick.

One suit is selected at random to be Trumps. So long as the player has cards in the Trump suit, they must be played if the player has no cards to match the suit of the card on the table. A trump card "trumps" any card of another suit.

If the Hint or Demo functions are not used, every game will play out to a win.
