eight cards are dealt to each player and the rest are placed face down as a talon. players must follow suit and a trick is won by the higher card of the led suit. if a player cannot follow suit he may discard any card. the winner of a trick draws another card from the talon. the opponent then does likewise, before the trick winner leads to the next trick. once the talon is exhausted, players continue to play tricks from their hands. a variant rule is that players must reveal their drawn cards each time.
