Players compete by bidding to determine the trump suit in this unique card game, which uses a standard deck minus the 8s, 9s, and 10s. Each player receives 9 cards and bids on the number of tricks they believe they can take; the highest bidder plays against the other two. Originating in Spain, the game has evolved through various names and forms, gaining different levels of popularity in regions like Latin America and Denmark.
