This game is played with a standard deck of cards. The players are dealt 3 or 5 cards. They bet and play for tricks. They may pass, play, or "miss" (exchange from an extra hand). If they elect to play, they have to win at least one trick for one third or one fifth (depending of the number of the cards dealt) of the pot. Any player failing to do so is "looed", and adds more chips to the pool.
