Renoncer.—Not to answer the suited.
Retourner.—When the cards are dealt, to turn up the first of the talon.
Sous-forcer.—To play a card inferior to what remains of some suit in hand.
Talon.—What remains of the pack after there has been distributed to each player what he requires.
The game consists of five points, unless differently arranged.
The king instead of the ace is the highest card.
After the king follow the queen and knave, next comes the ace, then ten, nine, eight, and seven.
After the dealer has shuffled the cards his opponent cuts them. The latter also can claim to shuffle if so inclined, but should he do so the dealer may re-shuffle. The dealer then gives three cards to his opponent and takes three himself, after which he gives two to his opponent and takes two himself, turning up the eleventh, which is also the trump, card on the pack.
Sometimes the two cards are dealt first, and afterwards the three; but this is a trifling matter, to be decided by the wish of the dealer.
