How many Card Points, and who writes what?
Show answer
Answer
44 Card Points, well past the 36 needed. Step one and two: 24 cards ÷ 3 = 8 exactly. Step three, the pips: 12 for the full Trull, 12 for three Kings, 6 for two Queens, 4 for two Cavaliers, 2 for two Jacks: 36. Together: 8 + 36 = 44 of 70. The Declarer and the called King each write 1 Victory Point, the Rufer’s value; the defenders write nothing.
