===Play===
The play is the trick-taking part of the game. Players must follow suits with the elder hand placing a card face up and scoring one point. The younger player then scores for their declarations and plays a card that follows suit, if possible. If not, he may discard anything he chooses. The winner of the trick (the player with the highest card in the suit led), takes the trick, placing it face-down (usually; see variations) in front of themself. The winner of the trick leads the next. When forced to discard, it is important to choose the right card. See tactics.

The score is usually kept verbally as play progresses. Trick score counts as follows:
* 1 point for leading a trick
* If the second player (the player who doesn't lead) wins a trick, they get a point.
* The winner of the last trick wins a 1-point bonus (see variations).

==== Cards ====
The player with the greater number of tricks won at the end of play scores 10 for ''cards''. If there is a tie, then neither player scores the additional points.

====''Capot''====
If all 12 tricks are won by one player, that player scores 40 points for ''capot'' ("''capot''" is the origin of the word ''[[wiktionary:kaput|kaput]]'').
