Each player must follow suit if possible and is not required to trump or play a card that beats the cards in the trick so far.Īt the end of the round, the players are scored depending on their bid and the number of tricks they took. Then the player left of the dealer leads the first trick. Each player can bid any whole number between 0 and the number of cards dealt per hand that round, inclusive, except for the dealer, who cannot bid the number such that everyone's bids would sum to the number of cards per hand. Starting with the player left of the dealer and going around clockwise, each player bids how many tricks they think they will take. Every round, cards are dealt to all players, and the top card of the kitty is flipped up to signify the trump suit. If you are running a client on the same machine as the server, you can just use 'localhost' as the host name. Note that with some router brands you need to use the local IP address of the machine running the server (as opposed to the public IP address) as the host name in the client if you are on the same network as that machine.
To run the server, make sure you have port forwarding setup so that requests for the port you want to use get sent to the machine running the server. Head on over to the Releases section to download the binaries.
