 Each player receives a hand of twelve cards in two packets of six; and two packets of three cards are dealt face down in the middle as the talon.After determining which announcement will be played (and by whom), a specific player (depending on the contract) leads a card to the first trick on the table after possibly drawing from the talon.From now on – as in most similar card games – the winner of the last trick always leads to the next one, until either all twelve tricks have been played or the declarer has clearly failed to achieve his goal.
