Sixty-Six

How to play

A classic two-player trick game with a 24-card deck (A, 10, K, Q, J, 9 in each suit). Card values: Ace 11, Ten 10, King 4, Queen 3, Jack 2, Nine 0; within a suit an Ace beats a Ten beats a King and so on.

Six cards each; the next card is turned up for trump and the rest form the stock. While the stock lasts you may play any card — a trump beats a plain suit, otherwise the higher card of the led suit wins; the winner draws first, then leads.

Hold a King and Queen of one suit and, on your lead, you may 'marry' them for 20 points (40 in trump). You can swap the trump Nine for the turned-up trump. Once the stock is gone you must follow suit and win when you can.

Reach 66 points and you take the deal (1 point, 2 if they were under 33, 3 if they won no trick); first to 7 wins.
