Constructions from 6 and more cards are declared as Quint.
Quint from 8 cards can participate in the bidding either as it is or as the Quint of 5 cards plus Terts. In the latter case such a combination will be lower than any Quint of 6, 7 or 8 cards but if such Quint play then it will be possible to declare Terts. That will give additional 20 whists.
«Carré of 7» - at the declaration of this construction the current deal is considered to be completed without the result. The duty of the cards dealing passes to the following player.
«Carré of 8» - at the declaration of this construction ALL other constructions of all players are cancelled (including the player who declared Carré of 8). Further the drawing proceeds as usual.
It is admitted that one card which is in the suit sequence can be a part of the construction made of cards of one value.
The combination of the trump King and the Queen («Bella») has a special status.
Its cost is 20 whists and can be counted only in a case if this combination was «declared» twice in the following way: when placing on a table any of the cards from which it is consisted, the word «Bella» is pronounced (when placing the second card on a table the word «Re-Bella» is admitted). If at least once the word was not pronounced «Bella» is considered not to be declared and whists for it are not counted. During AT game Bella can be declared only in a case if its suit coincides with the suit of the lead. At own lead Bella can always be declared.
The cards composing Bella can be a part of any other constructions. The ranking towards Bella construction is not relevant. The declared Bella always gives 20 whists to the Pair which declared it including at the declaration of «Carré of 8».
Combinations ranking:
- Any carrés are higher of any other combination. (Inside carrés the ranking for «Suit» and AT: J, 9, A, 10, K, Q. For WT: T, 10, K, Q, J);
- Longer combination is higher the shorter one;
- At identical length that combination is higher which starts with a higher card;
- If two combinations are equal on the length and start with a card of one value then the trump combination is a higher one.
- If two combinations are equal on the length and start with identical cards and both are not trump then the combination shown the first is a higher one.
For the sequences: the cards ranking when combinations creation (including a trump suit): A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7.
