Example of game setup

HOW TO PLAY TRUT

The game is played in successive rounds. A round consists of 3 tricks.

Course of a round

The players must, in turn, starting with the player to the left of the Dealer, place a card on the table, face up.

1. Win the trick: When all players have put down their cards, the highest value wins the trick. The player who wins the trick picks up the cards and keeps them face down in front of him/her.
2. Raise: The player who won the previous trick plays one of his or her remaining cards.
3. Tie: If there is a tie, the trick is “pourri” (spoilt) and no one wins. The player who played the last card raises (also called “qui pourrit dépourrit” which means “who spoils unspoils”)
4. If there is again a tie, continue with a new trick.
5. If there is still a tie, the round is cancelled.

Winning a round : 

• The team with the most tricks wins the round.
• If a team wins the first 2 tricks, there is no need to play the last trick.
• Special case: if there is a tie in the 2nd trick, the team that won the 1st trick wins the round.
