Three players are dealt 10 cards each with 2 cards set aside as a talon; a bidding round decides whether the lone player runs a suit game, a Betl (win zero tricks) or a Durch (win all ten tricks). The winner picks up the talon, discards two cards and plays alone against the other two.

Played with a 32-card Czech deck (7 to Ace) in four suits: hearts (červené), bells (kule), acorns (žaludy) and leaves (zelené). Three players get 10 cards each and 2 go to the talon. The bidding winner takes the talon, discards two cards and plays alone against the defending pair. Aces and tens are worth 10 points each, the last trick 10, a marriage 40 in trumps and 20 in a side suit — 90 points in total.
Every contract has a fixed value the winner collects from each opponent:
| Contract | Value | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Suit game | 1 | more than half of the points |
| Betl | 5 | win zero tricks |
| Durch | 10 | win all ten tricks |
| Seven (quiet / announced) | 1 / 2 | last trick with the trump seven |
| Hundred (quiet / announced) | 2 / 4 | at least 100 points incl. a marriage |
32 cards — 7 through Ace in four suits (hearts, bells, acorns, leaves); each of the three players is dealt 10 cards and two cards form the talon.
The forehand names a contract (suit game, betl or durch). The others answer good, take over (they grab the talon and must name a higher contract) or — on betl and durch — flek, which doubles the payment.
Betl (value 5) means winning zero tricks; durch (value 10) means winning all ten. Both are no-trump contracts. The declarer loses immediately on the first unwanted (betl) or missed (durch) trick.
The king and over-knave of the same suit held in one hand. It is declared by playing the over-knave first: 40 points in trumps, 20 in a side suit.
A bonus for winning the last trick with the trump seven. Quiet it is worth 1, announced 2; an announced seven that fails is paid as a penalty. A seven beaten by a higher trump in the last trick is always paid by its side.
A bonus for taking at least 100 points including a marriage (you cannot reach 100 without one). Quiet it is worth 2, announced 4; every extra 10 points doubles the value. A hundred replaces the game score.
A double of the game value declared by a defender who believes the contract will fail. The declarer may answer re and the defenders tutti — the multiplier climbs ×2, ×4, ×8.
When hearts are trumps, every payment for the game and all bonuses is doubled.
On this site to 20 points (or at most 20 deals); the final point difference is converted into chips according to the table stakes.
