The Jokers table is special because it consists of 52 cards with two Jokers (Big & Little).
The ♣2 and ♥2 are removed.
Cards ranking from high to low:
Big Joker, Little Joker, A, K, Q, J, and so on (like a regular game but without ♦2 and ♥2)
Spade cards trump, and Jokers count as Spades and are stronger than the ♠A.
The rest of the game plays just as a normal game:
Each player receives 13 cards.
Each player must bid a number of tricks from 0 to 13, which he expects to win.
If playing partner’s, the combined bidding of the two partners is summed up together to form the team bid. This is the number of tricks the team must win in order to achieve a positive score.
In solo:
· NIL BID - gives 50 points, but also costs 50 if the player wins even one trick.
· BLIND NIL – there is no blind nil in solo.
In partners:
· NIL BID - gives 100 points, but also costs 100 if the player wins even one trick.
· BLIND NIL – gives 200 points, but also costs 200 if the player wins even one trick.
The winning team is the first to reach the target points or if the opposing team drops below the threshold.
