Fourth—The thirteen points required to make and constitute the full game, as expressed.
Fifth—The method of count, by subtracting the less number of tricks from the greater number, giving credit, balance only, to the side of the greater number, as expressed.
Sixth—The first lead must be a trump card when possible; otherwise pass the lead to the next player. Trump must lead.
Seventh—The lapse of all points, one or more, in excess of the thirteen points, to apply on the next succeeding game.
Eighth—The position of the indicating trump on the table must be at the left hand of the present dealer, at the right hand of the one who must deal next, under the eye of the four players, and no question to ask or answer is required.
Finale—The game is sustained by the best and most modern law known to the best and most modern system of "Double Entry Book-keeping," on the basis of defined balances, with each and every business transaction, as proved by the final balance sheet of the evening's play of the game of "Guest."
Rules for the play of the game of "Guest" may be at the option of, and sustained by the judgment of each player, so long as the law of the game is fully understood, applied and sustained, with no deviation whatever.
The author would advise and recommend the lead of the "Joker," when such is possible, for your first trump lead; otherwise lead your smallest trump card, trusting the result to your partner's play.
For your second and subsequent leads play the ace, when such is possible; otherwise play your smallest suit card, trusting the result to your partner's play.
When the leader holds a single card of any one of the three side suits, it is desirable for a second or third lead to reduce suit, and thus to give an added opportunity for the subsequent play of trump, trusting the result to your partner's play.
