Sixte (card game)

Sixte (for example:. Six game ), dt .: sixes is a card game for six, which is played with a package to 36 sheets. Each player receives six cards; as in a whist , the dealer opens the last hand (belonging to himself) as trump .

The sequence of cards is natural: ace, king, etc. to six. The color must be known and, if possible, overlaid.

Who three stitches achieved marks a point ( Point ); but if two players have three tricks each, only the one who won three tricks first marks. If z. B. three players each two or all six players each achieve a trick, only the player marks a point who was the first to win two or one trick.

If the dealer serves an ace as a trump, he marks a point.

A game consists of six games. The player who has the most points at the end of the game wins the bet.

The same rules apply to the sizette , but three people are allied. These sit in such a way that two of one party never sit next to each other. Each party chooses a leader , whose task it is to inform itself about the cards of its partners through clever questions without revealing too much to the other party. The leader of the forehand party first consults with his partners and then directs the lead; the other party then consults. The party which takes three tricks first wins the game; all six tricks win twice.

Note : Sometimes the ranking of cards known from Écarté also applies : King - Queen - Jack - Ace (!) - Ten - Nine - Eight - Seven - Six.
