Tute

How to play

• Played like Brisca, but you must follow suit and you can declare marriages.
• Ace (11), three (10), king (4), horse (3) and jack (2) score, and the last trick is worth 10.
• You must follow suit and beat the current winner if you can. With no card of the suit, you must trump if a rival is winning.
• With two players this starts once the deck runs out. With four, in pairs, it applies from the first trick.
• King and horse of the same suit are worth 20 declared, or 40 in trumps.
• You may only declare after winning a trick and before playing, and each suit only once.
• Collecting all four kings or all four horses is a tute and wins the hand at once.
• While the deck lasts you can swap the turned-up card: the seven of trumps if what is showing beats the seven (jack, knight, king, three or ace), or the two of trumps if it is the seven or lower.
• The hand goes to whoever scores most between tricks, declarations and the last trick.

By number of players

• 2 players: one against one. Following suit only starts when the stock runs out, so the first half of the hand is played freely.
• 4 players in pairs: your partner sits opposite you. Here you must follow suit from the very first trick, and both players' declarations add to the pair's score.

Modes and prizes

• Against the computer: you play bots, offline and as often as you like. It pays no coins and no experience, so it is there to practise and try out settings without risking anything.
• Against friends: you open a room and invite them by username. Here only the winner is paid, and at half rate, because you pick who you sit with.
• Online: we sit you with people from all over the world. Every place is paid, most to least, and it is the only mode that counts towards the weekly League. If the room is slow to fill, simulated players complete it; in that case the League counts half.
• Buy-in tables: online you can sit at a 100, 250, 500 or 1000 coin table. Every player puts in that amount on sitting down and the whole pot goes to the winners, with no commission. These tables only fill with real people: if they do not fill in time the table is cancelled and your buy-in is returned. Neither the gold booster nor the VIP pass multiplies the pot.
