.
Each player—any number can See also:play—contributes a stake, of which one See also:counter is put into the divisions Ace, King, Queen, Knave and Game, two into Matrimony and Intrigue, and the See also:rest into Pope-Joan
.
This is called " dressing the board." The cards are dealt round, with an extra See also:hand for " stops," i.e. cards which stop, by their See also:absence, the completion of a suit; thus the absence of the nine of spades stops the playing of the ten
.
The last card is turned up for trumps
.
Cards in excess may be dealt to " stops," or an agreed number may be left for the purpose, so that all players may have an equal number of cards
.
If an See also:honour or " Pope " (nine of diamonds) is turned up, the dealer takes the counters in the compartment so marked
.
Sometimes the turning-up of Pope settles the hand, the dealer taking the whole See also:pool
.
The Ace is the lowest card, the King the highest
.
The player on the dealer's left plays a card and names it; the player who has the next highest then plays it, till a stop is played, i.e. a card of which no one holds the next highest
.
All See also:Kings are of course stops, also the seven of diamonds; also the cards next below the dealt stops, and the cards next below the played cards
.
After a stop the played cards are turned over, and the player of the stop (the card last played) leads again
.
The player who gets rid of all his cards first takes the counters in " Game," and receives a counter from each player for every card left in his hand, except from the player who may hold Pope but has not played it
.
The player of Ace, King, Queen or Knave of trumps takes the counters from that compartment
.
If King and Queen of trumps are in one hand, the holder takes the counters in " Matrimony "; if a Queen and Knave, those in " Intrigue "; if all three, those in the two compartments; if they are in different hands these counters are sometimes divided
.
Unclaimed stakes are left for the next pool
