♦ Initially, the opponent of the player who has created a table chooses a card color - red or black. If they guess right, the opponent starts the game, if not, the table creator starts.
♦ Players are dealt three cards.
♦ After dealing, one card is placed face up to show the trump suit
♦ A player may lead:
• a single card;
• two cards of the same suit;
• or three cards of the same suit.
♦ If a card is beaten by the opponent’s card, then the trick is taken by the latter. If at least one card remains without being beaten, then the trick is taken by the player who leads the cards.
♦ There is no requirement to follow the suits; a player can play with any suit.
♦ The winner is the first player to collect 31 points in tricks.
♦ A player can claim to be a winner, having 31 or more points in their tricks, only when their turn comes. In this case, the player should press the button “Score”.

♦ A game is played until the specified points are reached. Before creating a table, a player can select up to which points he wishes to play: 1 point, 3 points, 5 points, 7 or 11 points.
♦ Before each lead, a player can offer to double the points by clicking “Davi”/2x. An opponent can:
• reject the proposal and lose the hand;
• accept the proposal and continue the game with doubled points;
• Or propose to triple the points by clicking “Se”/3x.
