It’s 1973… it’s a hot summers night in New York City, and there is a killer on the loose… you get a strange invite to a party on the upper west side, and even though there are city wide blackouts … you decide to go.

If there are more than five players in the game, the same specific player may not make a bid of 0 more than 5 rounds in sequence. The cards from that trick are set aside, face down and the winner of each trick then leads the first card to the next trick from the cards remaining in hand.You would also receive a number of additional contract cards, that would not add their energy to your general energy pool. After all the bids have been made, the player to the immediate left of the dealer leads the first card to the first trick. The sleek black design of these cards exudes sophistication, making them the perfect addition to any poker night, bridge tournament or family game night.

The rules for winning the trick are the same, however, with the highest card in the trump suit or the highest card of the suit originally played to the trick winning the trick.On the two Misere hands played during the hand, if a player wins no tricks during those hands he earns ten points, otherwise each player loses two points for each trick won during those hands. If a player wins more tricks than bid, he earns no points, and loses one point for each trick he won over his bid.

If, however, he has no such card he may play any card from his hand, including a card from the trump suit (if that hand features a trump suit). One stipulation on the bidding, is that the total of all bids made cannot equal the total number of cards dealt, and thus he must bid in such a manner that this total is not equal to the number of cards dealt on the current hand.

In this round, the cards for each player should be dealt in a distinct pile and a trump card exposed for use in the hand.
