Before the start of a game, the players place their bets on the tableau; this is a rectangular scheme with four rows of eight fields each corresponding to the 32 cards in the package without jokers. Each row is a color associated namely the first row applies to Pik , the second for Heart , the third for diamonds and the fourth for the cross or meeting . The columns correspond to the ranks: the first column is for the aces, the second for the kings, etc.
