The player to the right of the dealer then starts the bid for the right to choose a trump suit.
The bid starts at 16. The bidding continues until all other 3 players passes.
The highest bidder predicts that their team will win the number of pointsthat their bid.
The highest bidder chooses a trump suit. The bidder can’t show the chosen trump suits to other players (not even to the teammate).
The dealer then completes the deal, dealing a set of four cards to each player, each player having eight cards in total.
When a player throws a card, the subsequent players must throw a card of the same suit. Keep in mind, the trump suit is initially unknown to all the players except the highest bidder.
If the player is unable to follow the suit, he/she can request the bidder to declare the trump suit. However, this is not mandatory and the player unable to follow suit can play any card.
Bid Wisely.

Count Your Points.
Until the trump suit becomes public, each hand is won by throwing value cards or by the highest card of the suit led.
However, after the trump suit is declared, each hand is won by the highest trump in it.
Use Low Trump Cards Strategically. Save low trump cards for later in the round when opponents have likely run out of high trumps.
Count Your Points. Try to keep track of the points you have already won in the current round.
