About the game
Try traditional Czech Mariáš with trumps, marriages and trick-taking. Choose a contract and learn how points and special declarations affect the result.
Getting started
Three people play with 32 cards. One declarer faces two defenders. This is the chosen-trump Mariáš, not the separate auction game.
How to play
- The declarer chooses trump from their first seven cards, or chooses blind, then selects the trump game, Betl or Durch.
- Discard two legal cards to the talon. Opponents may accept or take over the contract; announcements and doubles follow.
- Each player plays one card to the trick. Follow suit and beat when possible; otherwise play trump if you have it.
