The basic rules
Typing is played by three to six people with 32 cards, with even more participants with 52 cards.
The respective dealer places three tokens as a trunk in the pot and divides three hands individually for each player. The next card is turned face up and determines the trump suit .
If only the trunk is in the pot, all players have to call , and whoever does not take a trick pays the amount in the pot as a bête .
However, if more than the trunk in the pot, the player may, on which a stitch does not expect, fit ; but if someone has good cards, he says: “ I'll go with you ” or taps the table with his finger.
You have to use color or trump.

Rule variants
Like most card games, typing is also played with many additional rule variations; in particular, the opportunity to swap cards is often offered, as is the case with cheating .
