Bisca rules
With 7 or 9 cards. 1 vs 1 or in pairs
Players
Play with 2, 3 or 4, each on their own (with 3, without the 2 of spades), or 4 in 2 pairs: your partner sits across from you. The deck has 40 cards (no 8, 9 or 10). In Bisca with 7 everyone holds 7 cards; with 9, they hold 9.
Cards and points
From strongest to weakest: Ace (11 points), 7 or bisca (10), King (4), Jack (3), Queen (2), 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 (0 points). Each hand has 120 points.
Dealing and trumps
The dealer deals everyone their cards and turns the next one face up: its suit is trumps. That card goes under the deck, face up, and is the last one drawn. The 2 of trumps cannot be swapped for it. The player to the dealer's left leads.
Tricks and drawing
The highest card of the suit led wins, or the highest trump. After each trick, while there is a deck, everyone draws one card, the winner first. The winner leads the next trick.
Following suit
While there is a deck you may play any card. Once the deck is out, you must follow the suit led; if you cannot, play any card.
Who wins the hand
Each on their own: the most points wins the hand and counts 1 win; if two tie for first, both win. In pairs, as in Sueca: more than 60 wins the hand, 61 to 90 is worth 1, 91 to 119 is worth 2 and 120 (clean sweep) is worth 4; 60–60 is a draw. Hands keep coming; if someone leaves at the end of a hand, the table ends and the score resets.
