Each of 52 cards has two letters (AB,CD, etc.) on it and there are four of each denomination. Deal out all cards and the dealer calls a trump word. For example, PIG. This means the OP is the highest denomination, IJ is next and GH is next. Otherwise, AB is higher than CD, etc.

Points are scored for capturing cards, with bonus points for trump and more bonus points if syllables of and/or the entire trump word can be spelled with captured cards.
