«Bella» - King and Queen of a trump suit – the cost is 20 points (if it was declared by the player). Bella can be a part of other combinations.
Combinations ranking:
- Any carré are higher than any other combination. (In carrés the ranking is: J, 9, A, 10, K, Q);
- Longer combination is higher the shorter one;
- If two combinations are equal on length then the combination beginning with the highest card is the highest combination.
- If two combinations are equal on length and begin with a card of one rank then the trump combination is considered to be the highest one.
- If two combinations are equal on length, begin with identical cards and both are not trump then the combination declared the first is considered to be the highest combination.
Rules of the definition of combinations ranking:
- If only one player has a combination then he names this combination, shows it and writes points for it.
- If both players have combinations then they find out whose combination is higher naming their combinations. (If the second player’s combination is lower then he can not declare it). The first player writes points for the named combination.
- If both players’ combinations are of identical length then the bidding starts. A player having a combination of the similar length says «rank». The first player names his highest card in the combination. If the second player’s combination is higher then he shows his highest card and writes points to himself, if lower then the first player writes points to himself.
Points for the gained combinations are recorded in a case if a player took at least one trick.
For the sequences: the cards ranking at combinations forming (including a trump suit): A, Ê, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7.
