A foursome, played with the Bavarian card deck
Dealt is like this: 4x three, 4x three, 4x three.
Once it is determined who definitively announces the chosen playstyle, he also tells the number of consecutive tops at hand, or says ohne, for none. Who his team player is, will be found out later; the number of tops for the declarer team are counted together accordingly, for which extra points will be scored later. For playstyle Spiel he can announce strikers, too. Or he can leave the decision to his team player. In which case the question who it is must be solved with his first card played. This is valid as soon as the next card was played out.
Scoring. Game won 2, or 4 if without 30 (Schneider), or 6 if schwarz (zero points). Plus 1 each for consecutive tops, if won, for the declarer team, which is doubled for Grand. In case the teams both have 60 points, the game is scored with 1 for the defender team; no extra points are added for tops.
If it happens that nobody wants to play, then the game is scored like this. All turn their cards upward; then the hands are compared. No Ober results in zero. Otherwise, the sum is: two for the first Ober present, one for each other Ober, Unter, or Ass. For all who are below six, the game is scored plus 1.
