Chantecler: The Great Card Game 1910

info BGG:
There are four suits, Hen, Ducks Goose, and Turkey.Each suit is numbered 1 to 10. There are four cards which are always trumps, no matter what the suit is:
- Chantecler (Rooster)
- Peacock
- Pheasant
- Owl

The persons sitting opposite are partners. Every player gets 11 cards. Each player then bids in privilege of naming the trump. The highest bidder decides the suit he/she selects for trump and all players discard down to 6 cards.
The player naming the trump then plays face up in the center of the table a card of the suit he/she has named, with as aim winning as many of the counter cards as possible.

Then the next player plays a card of the suit named. The player with the highest values takes the four cards.(called The Trick). After the first Trick is played its optional whether or not trumps are lead.

Scoring:
When the hand is finished, each side adds together the counter cards (1,3,5 and the trump cards) which they have taken and credit to their score. If a bidder fails to make as many points as he/she bid, he/she is said to be set, and the number bid is subtracted from his score. The first side scoring 56 points wins the game.
