The rules above are the friendly core, enough for a full evening of play. When your table wants more, start with these favorites; the full collection is waiting online. [POINTER 61]
- The full invitation system. This formalizes the coded bids the sidebar named: which bids invite, which stands answer, and what silence means. It is the single biggest step from this chapter to a Budapest table, and it lives at gotarok.com/67.
- The pure traditional auction. Tradition has no trial Three at all: with no honour, the dealer passes like everyone else, and the all-pass double round does the motivating on its own. Drop the trial Three if you want Budapest unfiltered; the double round is already in the base rules.
- Deeper Kontra ladders and stakes conventions vary by circle; agree on the ceiling before the first deal.
- A Victory Point target. Tables that want Hungarian to end like the other games in this book can play first to 20 Victory Points instead of counting rounds; finish the round in progress so everyone has dealt equally.
- Other Hungarian games. Paskievics is the gateway: Illusztrált and Magas tarokk await beyond it, with wilder announcement boards. Both live at gotarok.com/65.
- The Traditional Scoring. This is the classic zero-sum settlement, where losers pay winners. The full tables are at the back of this book ([PAGE ch-11-traditional-scoring]).
