al. All the cards are dealt and someone decides whether they want to take or not. If a person takes, that person calls a King. They do not know who is on their team until the King of the suit they called is played. Then the teams are the person who took and the person who has the king and the other three people. The game is best played with 5. The objective is then to get as many points as possible. All the cards have different point values and a little card helps figure out how many are necessary. There are tons of other rules obviously, but I’m learning the strategy and rules of the game. We have played a few other times and it is quite fun. It is cool because you can literally play just one had, or many, since each game is its individual game. Ah the education obtained in France.

Tarot
A few weeks ago a French friend of mine taught us a new card game that is popular in France. It is called tarot and it isn’t like reading our signs or anything. At least I think it has nothing to do with that. It is more like spades, but the deck of cards are different. There are Knights, Cavaliers, Dames and Kings, then the rest of the deck is Ace through 10 like norm
