• At the commencement of the game, each player is dealt 7 cards, with the remaining 3 cards - known as the buy-in - placed on the table.
• The gameplay involves players taking turns predicting the number of points they anticipate scoring in a round, beginning with the player adjacent to the dealer. The player initiating the auction automatically declares 100 points. The participant with the highest bid wins the buy-in.
• The individual who acquired the buy-in starts the round by playing a card. Subsequently, each player must follow suit or play a trump card if unable to match suit. Failing that, any card can be played. The player with the highest card of the lead suit or trump suit wins the round, accumulating the card values towards their round score.
• Upon winning a round, that player begins the subsequent round by leading with a card. This sequence continues until all cards are played. Scoring takes place at this juncture.
• If a player fails to reach their predicted score declared during the auction, that amount is deducted from their total. Conversely, exceeding or meeting the announced target results in adding those respective points. Other players earn points based on their performance in that round. A player who doesn't score any points receives a 'bolt.' Upon accumulating a predefined number of bolts, a penalty of 120 points is enforced.
• The gameplay progresses until a player reaches 880 points. At this juncture, they 'sit on the barrel,' halting further point accumulation without winning an auction round. To win from this position, they must claim victory in an auction round and amass at least 120 points. Failure to achieve this stipulated target results in 'rolling off the barrel' with associated penalties. This process may repeat for multiple failures or penalties.
• In instances where multiple players reach or vie for 'barrel' status simultaneously, all concerned parties endure equivalent penalties.
