Ser o primeiro time a atingir 500 pontos cumprindo contratos de vadas.

Os jogadores fazem lances pelo número de vadas que farão (de 6 a 10) e o naipe trunfo. O maior lance (considerando naipe e quantidade) vence o direito de ser o declarante.

1. Dealing: After shuffling the deck, deal three cards to each player, then one card face-down to the kitty (widow). Next, deal four cards to each player and one more face-down to the kitty. Finally, deal three cards to each player and the last card face-down to the kitty. Each player has 10 cards, and the kitty has 3 cards face-down.
2. Bidding: The player to the dealer's left bids first, and bidding proceeds clockwise. Players bid on the number of tricks they believe they can win in the hand. Bids range from 6 to 10, with the option to pass. You can also pass if you don't feel like you have a strong enough hand. Once you pass, you can no longer bid.

O Valete do naipe trunfo (Bower Direito) é a mais alta; depois o Valete do mesmo naipe de cor (Bower Esquerdo); depois As, K, Q, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 do trunfo.

1. Trump Suit and Kitty: The highest bidder picks up the 3 kitty cards, adds them to their hand, and then discards 3 cards face-down. The bid determines the trump suit.
2. Leading: The bid winner (declarer) leads the first trick by playing any card from their hand.
3. Following Suit: Players must follow suit if possible. If unable to follow suit, they may play any card.
4. Taking Tricks: The player who plays the highest-ranking card in the led suit or the highest-ranking trump card wins the trick. The winner leads the next trick.
5. Scoring: The bidding team scores points according to their bid if they meet or exceed it. If they fail, they lose the bid's point value. The non-bidding team scores 10 points per trick they win, regardless of the bid. If the bidding team wins more tricks than bid, they receive no additional points.

Se o declarante cumprir o contrato, marca os pontos correspondentes ao lance. Se não cumprir, perde esses pontos. A parceria adversária marca 10 pontos por cada vada ganha. Primeiro a 500 vence; chegar a -500 perde.
