Loading…Welcome to the roost.

The deck is shuffled and dealt clockwise. The first player—human or AI—to receive any Jack becomes dealer, chooses trump, and must win 7 books. Dealer rotates each hand after that.
51 cards, 17 each. The dealer needs 7 books, the next seat 6, and the third seat 4. Only the Two of Clubs remains among the twos. Both Jokers belong to the selected trump suit.
54 cards, 18 each. Quotas are 7, 6, and 5. All four Twos and both Jokers are in play.
Big and Little Joker are the two highest cards of the selected trump suit and sit first in that group. They stay locked until trump is broken and obey follow-suit after the break.
Beat quota to earn plucks. Miss quota to become vulnerable. On the next hand, the dealer locks trump first; then a plucker offers a non-trump card and receives the target's highest card of that suit. Trump and both Jokers are protected.
Five-point practice against two personality-driven rivals.
