Bourre'
Five cards are dealt to each player.
The dealer turns up his/her 5th card. This becomes the trump card. Each player looks at their cards, keeping any trump cards and discarding
others. Some players might prefer to keep Aces of the other suits, but this is not a requirement.
The dealer then deals cards to each player to bring their hand count back up to five. The dealer then picks up the face-up trump card which he
previously placed on the table and returns it to his hand. Play now begins.
The player to the right of the dealer leads off. That player may NOT lead a trump card first unless his hand is all trumps or a “sure” win,
that is, Ace, King, Queen. Everyone must follow suit. If you do not follow suit you must try to trump the trick and take it, if possible. The object of the game is to take the most
tricks. If a player doesn't take any tricks that is a Bourre' and is out of the game (or must match the pot, if any, to stay in).
